What PBR said. If you are buying a blow dryer especially for this make sure to look for a lower watt unit and a cool setting.

Ti, I got soaked in a rain storm wearing corduroys on a trip. Went into a public bathroom and just sat under the hand dryer. I tested the heat on my hand and tried to pull the material away from my skin on my upper thighs. Took awhile between breaks when things started feeling warm but it worked and no burns. You were probably hurrying when sometimes being late is a better choice. That looked painful.

"Good idea but serious damage can be done especially down there!

Never use a hair dryer on part of your body you can't feel.

Ti"

Aw C'mon Ti, I am not saying put the hairdryer right up on your skin. At the risk of spoon feeding information to the others I'm just saying using BOTH hands (if you can) wave the hairdryer back and forth from a safe distance to dry off the nooks and crannies of your crotch. Use one hand to hold the hairdryer, monitor the heat and assess the dryness with the other hand.
