Boxer Shorts to Prevent Heat Rash

I am a 15-year-old girl and I am very active throughout the day. For a while now I've had an issue with this exact type of heat rash and this is my first time looking into it. It was infecting my groin/thigh area. I soon noticed it was repulsively because I sweat too much and my underwear would soak all the sweat up. I didn't have a time during the day to change my underwear, so it would end up rubbing against my inner thigh and create this rash.

I found my cure and the cure is "wearing loose fitting clothing." I'm a die-hard tomboy and found that if I wear boxers instead of panties I kept cool during the day and this type of rash would not occur. Sadly, now if I don't have any clean boxers and end up wearing panties for one day, it gets a lot worse than it used to.
