It’s certainly no secret that it gets pretty darn hot around Disney World.

And we don’t just mean your regular ol’ hot. We mean, you’ll be sweating through your tank top, you’ll want cooling towels and neck fans, and you absolutely MUST stay hydrated for the sake of your health level of heat. While an ordinary summer day can be quite hot at Disney World, the temperatures are already heating up.

We’re about to get real — because you know what’s real? Getting swamp crotch at Disney World. You know what we mean. It gets HOT in Central Florida during the summer and some areas of the parks don’t offer much respite from the heat. Thus, you inevitably end up sweaty and uncomfortable. But, there are some things you can do to help mitigate just how uncomfortable you get and help you avoid getting swamp crotch at Disney World. 

Anti-Chafe Sticks

Stop sweating at the source — 0kay, don’t actually stop it because it means your body is doing it’s job — but you can at least significantly cut down on just how much the extra moisture can make you uncomfortable by tossing an anti-chafe stick in your park bag. There are powders too, but we find the sticks to be easier to use in an on-the-go situation.

They basically work like deodorant and help keep your bits dry. Just head to the bathroom and reapply when you feel like you need to, and hopefully, you’ll be good to go. We love the MegaBabe version! You can shop them by clicking the links below.

Choose Your Colors Wisely

Look, sweating is normal — especially when you’re battling temperatures upwards of 90 degrees. But, we also understand wanting to not necessarily look like you’ve been sweating all day when you’re in the parks. So, choose the color of whatever bottoms you choose to wear wisely if you want to avoid the look of swamp crotch.

Grey is pretty much a no-no, along with other light colors. White is usually a safe bet, along with navy, black, and other dark colors. But, even if you forget this trick — chances are you won’t be the only one with swamp crotch so don’t worry about it!

Moisture Wicking Undergarments

This is not the time for your ahem prettiest pairs of underwear, alright? Instead, we recommend going for comfort. And, in this case, comfort means the most breathable and moisture-wicking undergarments you can find.

You’ll find plenty of options online, and don’t worry — some of them are even pretty cute, too. The idea here is that the fabric allows moisture to pass through and dry quickly, so you’re not left with an uncomfortable situation.

Breathable or Athletic Clothing

Along the same lines as the moisture-wicking undergarments, making sure you’re wearing breathable fabrics or athletic wear can make a huge difference in the battle against swamp crotch. Running shorts or skorts, bike shorts, and athletic dresses are some of our favorite options.

Not only are they comfortable which is helpful for the heat and the level of walking you’ll be doing, but athletic wear is designed to get sweaty and is usually quick to dry because of it. One of our favorites for the parks is this tennis skirt with built-in shorts!

Hand Fan for Cooling Off

We also love tossing a small, battery-powered hand fan into our park bag. Trust us, these babies can cool down more than just your face and neck! Staying cool and hydrated is essential when you’re sweating so much, and a little fan can do wonders when you think you just can’t take it anymore.

One of our favorites is linked below. We prefer the handheld ones over the neck fans, but you can always consider trying one of those out as well!
