It’s hot out there! July and August are the sunniest and sweatiest months, making it the prime season for swamp butt, butt sweat, chafing and more. We don’t want the weather to stop us from having fun and exploring, but we also don’t want to overheat. Luckily there are many products specifically designed to cool us down during those sweltering summer days. Here are 5 life-enhancing products to use this season.
1. Cooling Shorts
A hot day can cause so many uncomfortable scenarios, like thigh chafing when our legs rub together under a dress, skirt or shorts, or swamp ass (aka the dreaded accumulation of sweat on our booties). The warm weather can also just leave us feeling overheated and fatigued, with no energy to power through a summer day. On these days, you’ll love our Cooling shorts, which help with all of the aforementioned issues and more. They’re made with silky, hi-tech performance fabric that pulls heat and moisture away from our bodies, helping perspiration release into the air. They’re also proven to cool the body by up to 1 degree. They’re so light that you’ll forget you’re wearing them entirely — especially if you no longer experience chafing and butt sweat! The shorts come in multiple lengths and colors, from neutrals to bright, bold colors, to accommodate any mood and summer style.
2. Portable Fan
Summer days can be muggy and humid, and just a short walk can send us into a sweaty spiral. That’s when a portable fan comes in handy, providing instant relief with a cool breeze. The newer ones on the market come with an array of settings and speeds — some even double as an external battery for recharging your phone on the go. You’ll be overjoyed standing on a subway platform or waiting to board a flight this summer when you remember you have a portable fan nearby to cool you off. Just remember to charge your fan (if it’s electric) or bring an extra set of batteries so you’re not stranded without your beautiful breeze.
3. Icy Body Lotion
Body lotion can be cooling in a number of ways this summer. If you like a morning shower, apply a lotion with menthol to feel a minty coolness, like a refreshing breath of mint, on your skin all day. After a long day in the sun, aloe vera lotion (or better yet, fresh aloe from the plant) feels soothing and cooling on skin and can help manage sunburns and overheating. In the evening, take your regular body lotion to the next level by putting it in the fridge and applying a chilly layer to your skin after a shower. Crawl under the covers with your Cooling or Cotton shorties on and get ready for a great night of sleep without overheating.
4. Breezy Sheets
Speaking of bedtime, we don’t like to get hot and sweaty while we sleep in the summer. That’s why we opt for lighter sheets and linens in the warmer months. Certain fabrics lend themselves well to staying cool while catching zzz’s, like bamboo, eucalyptus or percale. These fabrics are moisture wicking, so heat doesn’t get trapped between your body and your bed linens. Instead of having to throw off your duvet in a sweaty tizzy, you’ll rest through the night feeling cool and comfortable. Want to take things to the next level? Wear a pair of our Cooling shorts to bed to ensure your entire body is cool as a cucumber while you’re sleeping.
5. Shower Sheets
During the summer we get so sweaty that sometimes we have to take more than one shower a day. But sometimes we’re on the go and can’t quickly head home to refresh — that’s when cooling shower sheets come in handy. They’re like body wipes with more invigorating ingredients like menthol, chamomile or cucumber. Give your skin a quick wipe to feel like you just showered while out and about. These are perfect to pack for long airport layovers, road trips, festivals or just to have in your bag in case you get too hot one day. Beat the heat, sweat and stickiness with cooling shower sheets this summer.
