I’ve never had it and I walk a lot. I am slim but I think it’s more to do with sweating than size. I don’t sweat much so maybe that’s it.

I agree with this as I don’t get any rub and I don’t really sweat much

I guess if you have a shapely thigh 🤷‍♀️
Ah well, I’ll crack on with my cotton cycle shorts 🤣🙌😎

I used chub rub shorts until I discovered deodorant. It probably works the same as anti-chafe sticks but easier to buy and cheaper.

I'm a size 8-10, 54kg and I get it on my bum cheeks, they rub together. It's so itchy when it's healing as well.

I’m quite pear shaped and always get it - I’m a 10/12. I have long short/knicker things from M&S, and also a “culotte slip” from there. I’m not a sweaty person especially so I don’t think it’s that for me.

There’s an awful lot of ‘well I don’t get it but I’m very slim so not surprising’ on this thread.

Another reason it’s such an offensive description. Im huge and never had it so perhaps it should be renamed ‘sweaty thigh rub’ 🤷‍♀️
