My wife had the same problem for years and we finally found preventatives.
First was the use of "Boy Shorts". It took a while but she finally found a suitable style that was still feminine.
The other important item was the use of Coloplast Citric Acid Skin Barrier. It's a colorless, odorless, skin barrier used in Nursing Homes and Colostomy patients to protect the privates. A small pencil eraser dab smeared into the folds of skin that get irritated does the job. One tube can last a year. I have successfully recommended this treatment for many of my patients young and old.
Men can get away with other kinds of Butt Butter like Zinc Oxide or just plane Vaseline. Women's skin in that area is more delicate...
