Stine's summer tips


Great tips that just make your everyday life easier! Small things you never thought you could do something about, and which can just make a huge difference. This is the kind of tip that Stine is sharing with you here..

With all the lovely Mondo Kaos dresses, this tip is indispensable, and we hope it will help many people have an even lovelier summer full of dress joy.

'Since the summer of 2018, I have felt like a new woman! Every single summer since I became a teenager and got a good set of thighs, I have either had chafing or sweated profusely in a pair of cycling shorts under my dress.


But in the summer of 2018, which by the way was insanely hot all the way into October, my lovely friend gave me the advice to try applying deodorant between my thighs before I went out into the sun.


At first, I didn't quite believe her, because after many years of "chafing trauma," surely it couldn't be true that such a small thing could do the trick.

But it did! It was almost magical. For the first time in many years, I walked with completely bare legs under my summer dress, and absolutely nothing happened! There was air and a breeze under my skirts - it was just absolutely fantastic!'


'The reason why this deodorant trick worked is that deodorants contain an antiperspirant that simply closes the pores and thus the supply of sweat. It is the sweat that helps create the friction between your thighs that gives you chafing.


I use a completely ordinary roll-on deodorant stick, and I often buy them when they are on sale for a flat 10 kroner. There is more than enough in one for a season :)'


Below you will see a selection of Stine's favorite summer dresses as well as sandals that she is wearing here on the page. And in the picture on the left, you see Stine's lovely summer thighs with deodorant, but also with the wonderful new shape shorts from Swedish Stockings, which are also worth trying against sweaty summer thighs ;-)



 

 

 


'You can also use the deodorant under your feet, so you avoid sweaty feet in your sandals, and if you then use an oil for the entire foot as well as your toes, you reduce the risk of blisters etc.


For those of you who are allergic, I would definitely recommend buying a deodorant without perfume and other nonsense. And if you don't like using antiperspirant on your body at all, a pair of good cotton cycling shorts can of course also help. Alternatively, we have also just received the new shaping shorts from Swedish Stockings, they will be able to shape you up a bit while preventing your thighs from sticking.'


 

 

 

 

'This was my best summer trick. I have practiced this since 2018 and it works incredibly well for me. I obviously cannot promise that it will work for you, as we are all different, but try it and see if it can help you too.'


Warm summer greetings,

Stine, Mondo Kaos
