Anti chaffing tights

Hi Follks

So summer has hit and I love wearing nice summer dresses but the thing chaff is something serious. I've seen that M&S have these but not great reviews about them. I've seen others online. Just not sure what's best. Anyone any suggestions? Have you tried any that are a good buy?

Thanks Smile

I just bought the cooling chafing shorts feo &s and they are comfy!

I sized up rather than down (i'm a 14-16) so got the 16-18 as i'm study of leg

They fit well in the leg but a little loose in the waist so they don't really hold me in like spanx would!

Snag! I love them. Amazing tights and shorts. Give them a go. I've found everything from them brilliant 😊

I just bought some Snag anti chaffing shorts and they were brilliant on first wear.

Thanks bookish & keeoe yes not looking for a spanx type (that boat sailed a looong time agoGrin) just something that fits nicely under a dress or skirt without sticking out too much and stops that damed chaffing. I seen Snag advertised but didn't know if they were any good. Going to check them out now. DD who is a small size 10 said she would like ones too. Worst thing about warm weather and dresses (and thighs!!!)

Snag do from size 6 - 36 and I think do kids items. They are brilliant

Another vote for Snag

My girlfriend bought me some anti chaffing tights today for my outfit she gave me im ngl there really comfortable in my opinion

LizzieVereker · 06/06/2021 21:11

I wish I’d discovered Snag years ago, I’d have worn a lot more dresses! They are amazing.

I got a pair of cotton cycling shorts from SHEIN and they are so comfy, not sweaty at all!

BettyUnderswoob · 06/06/2021 21:37

I wear cheap cycling shorts, or £3 leggings from Primark that I cut down to the desired length.

Sometimes vaseline or stick deodorant instead!

MaMelon · 06/06/2021 21:42

Primark had short cotton cycling shorts for a bargainous £3 when I was in on Saturday - I’m going back to get some for my holidays.

JennyinWales · 06/06/2021 21:43

Never bought any before but with the lockdown weight gain think it might be needed. Thanks for the reccs, will look in Primark!

RockPainting · 06/06/2021 21:43

Make-up primer is good for stopping the rub. Any will do.

ArseholesOnToast · 06/06/2021 21:44

Another vote for Snag. I’ve got three pairs of chub rubs and more on order. They’re amazing and they have lots of fun colours. Their tights are good too.

Cockenspiel · 06/06/2021 21:45

Big Bloomers Company, have got 5 different pairs and all are comfy :)

RosieRabbit17 · 06/06/2021 21:45

Liquid talc has been a game changer for me!

voxnihili · 06/06/2021 21:46

I also use primark cycle shorts. I also use them under a couple of pairs of trousers that I have where the seam rubs my inner thigh.

Russell19 · 06/06/2021 21:46

Snag are great but I find mind aren't quite long enough, or maybe I'm just taller than average.
@GAW19 do you have the link to your SHIEN ones?

stevalnamechanger · 06/06/2021 21:48

Cycling shorts!

Legoandloldolls · 06/06/2021 21:50

Snag or it's a shorter dress that might show primark cycling type cotton shorts. I also bought some forom big bloomers and they look more sturdy but my snag ones are years old and still going strong.

TokyoSushi · 06/06/2021 21:53

I've got some M&S ones on for the first time this evening (the £12 ones) they're lovely and make such a difference!

AuntieStella · 06/06/2021 21:58

I know this is not hat you're asking for.

But two products to try to combat chafing (useful when it's too damned hot to want to be adding layers)

  • Body Glide - sold for distance runners, works extremely well
  • liquid talc
AngeloMysterioso · 06/06/2021 21:59

I wear cycling shorts, don’t want my entire legs and feet covered by tights, especially in summer.

Body Glide is great stuff too.

prampushingdownthehighst · 06/06/2021 22:02

I totally agree with AuntieStella
Forget shorts and use Body Glide, absolute game changer

SingleHandSue · 06/06/2021 22:05

I’ve just discovered the Snag ‘chub rub’ shorts too, they’re brilliant! Thin so don’t feel hot and so stretchy that they fit over my big arse and belly brilliantly.
