How to Stop Chafing During Pregnancy: Bedrock Balm to the Rescue

Pregnancy is beautiful—but it can bring new skin situations! 

As your body changes, irritation and chafing can show up in unexpected places like under your breasts, around your waistline, and between your thighs. The friction plus sensitive skin can leave you sore, red, and uncomfortable.

That’s exactly what happened to Lindsey at 36 weeks pregnant.

She needed something safe, soothing, and effective—so she reached for Bedrock Balm, our zinc based barrier cream enriched with Camellia Seed Oil, Vitamin E, Meadowfoam Seed Oil, and Calendula Flower Extract.

This thick, skin-protective balm creates a barrier against friction while deeply moisturizing to restore comfort. Unlike petroleum-based creams, Bedrock Balm is made with plant-powered ingredients, so it feels clean, light, and safe for daily use during pregnancy.

And here’s the bonus: once baby arrives, Bedrock Balm doubles as a natural diaper barrier cream—gentle enough for newborn skin, but strong enough to handle irritation and redness.
