Body Glide for Her Anti-Chafing Solution
Chafing. Need I say more? It’s annoying, it hurts, and it can actually mark and scar the body. This is why I love Body Glide for Her. The product is ideal for sensitive areas where rubbing from your undergarments and clothing is irritating or causes chafing. Use it with bras and sports bras or any other undergarment or clothing item to alleviate the abrasive feeling. It’s also great for feet. Formulated with Vitamin F Forte to help keep skin soft and moisturized, the Body Glide brand is an effective barrier against both skin-on-skin and clothing-on-skin rubbing. $7.99-$9.99, bodyglide.com.
Clipa Instant Handbag Hanger
When you have a stylish handbag, the last place you want to put it is on the floor ~ especially in restaurants, bathrooms or other public places. Clipa, which means “instant” in Romanian, is a decidedly attractive handbag hanger that goes on ~ not in ~ the bag for quick and easy use at any time. The name might be Romanian, but Clipa is made in the USA, holds up to 45 pounds and won’t tarnish. Clipa’s “can’t lose” auto close system stays on your bag and works nearly anywhere. Also fashion-adaptable, Clipa comes in a variety of colors, designs and metals, including titanium, hematite, brushed gold and silver. $14.99-$39.99, clipa.us.
