I spotted an ad for chafing thighs in the back of a 'naice' magazine. If it's an issue, it's worth finding a solution for Smile

I've literally just bought some 95% cotton bike shorts on Amazon - pregnant pver summer, solves both chub rub and fear of flashing knickers in skater/wrap dresses

I use cheap leggings that I cut down or liberally grease myself with olive oil. I suppose lard would work too Grin

I'd love to find a solution to this problem as I look ridiculous in shorts. Would LOVE to wear skirts on holiday. Does olive oil work? Does it not feel horrid?

Oil would surely stain your clothes, no?

quiero it was another Mnetter who got me onto the olive oil. Tried it once and didn't like it, but then unexpectedly found myself on a hot day in London wearing a dress and didn't have another option. Had to reapply a couple of times, but it definitely worked, and I once i got used to it, I quite enjoyed the sensation!

H&M sell cotton-rich cycling shorts with lace trim, very similar to the ones shown on the link in the OP. After a mortifying windy day/wrap skirt knicker flashing episode a few summers ago, I tend to wear them under wrap skirts now.

I'll have to give it a shot. I remember Evans (does Evans still exist?) used to do shorts for this but they would roll up which is really annoying. Last year I wore cycling type shorts but they made me really sweaty when we were abroad. Those anti chafing creams look quite interesting. I'd obviously pretend I was an avid sports woman rather than a fat bird going on holiday Grin

I've always found anti perpserant
(sp) spray works.

Stick antiperspirant applied to one inner thigh - works for me!

Taking Shape do cotton rich cycling type shorts called Easy Breezy. Can't find them on the website but I got some in store recently.

There's also Lanacane anti chafing gel. I have a tube somewhere but haven't got around to trying it yet.
