Aibu to ask how you deal with thigh rub?

[Lazyginger]

It's hot. I want to wear a skirt. In colder weather I always wear tights but when it's this hot wearing tights is horrible! Even at my thinnest (9st) I have never achieved a thigh gap. By the end of the day I have sore red raw patches on my inner thighs where they rub. How can I fix this? The only alternative is to wear leggings under a maxi or trousers . Surely I am not the only uncomfortable person ?

Body Shop Vitamin C Skin Reviver. God send!!!!

Asda baby section do a fantastic liquid talcum powder - it smells sooo nice and always stops me chafing even on the sweatiest day. And I have some big ass thighs!!

Haven't rtft but sudocrem has been a lifesaver for me! Both in prevention and healing. Messy to apply tho! !

[redcarbluecar]

Probably said by others (haven’t read all!) but cut off tights

I use lanacane anti chafing gel, can get it in Sainsbury's as well as Boots. I also use it as a primer under my make up.

Bodyglide.

Anti chafing shorts from eBay are the dream! Either that or cut your tights into shorts for the summer to wear under dresses

[SequinsOnEverything]

I wear Primark cycle shorts under any dress or skirt. I've tried an anti chsffing gel/cream and it was rubbish. Plus, with the shorts it doesn't matter if a sudden gush of wind catches your dress.

Big Bloomers didn't work for me. I'm an 18 and bought 18-22. They just slipped down meaning the bit at the tops still rubbed. Not good.

I've bought some sloggis to try this summer and will order some bandalettes as they sound like they'll work with the right pants too!

[Bridesmaidinchief]

Order a glide stick from Amazon, its great for chub rub!

Talc on its own is not enough.

Made the coconut oil and cornflour mix yesterday and it's working a treat.

[Cheesypasta]

Wow, such a lot of handy recommendations on this thread!

[WazFlimFlam]

Leihga its thigh shape pure and simple. I carry a lot of weight around the top of my thighs both inner and outer saddle bags iyswim. Yes a significant amount of that is fat, but it is also muscle so little I can really do about the shape.

Some men get it. My husband does and he isn't overweight. Tall and broad but lean.

[raindropsandsunshine]

I wear running shorts underneath!

[RhurbabAndCustard]

Sure maximum protection stick deodorant on thighs. Works a treat

[LeighaJ]

Why does thigh chaffing happen? I've never understood why some women get it and others don't.

I understand that having a large chest is likely the culprit behind my boob sweat problems, but no matter my weight I don't get thigh chaf.

Hasn't worked for me Waz. 28 weeks pregnant and despite putting on less than a stone, the chub rub is worse than ever. So pleased to find this thread. About to go and order Body Glide!

[Ollivander84]

This link should work for the big tights/bloomers company and make the shorts £10 (saw on a FB page, not linked to me)
I think their new Aztec ones are still £10 too

Get pregnant. My thighs have slimmed right down despite having treetrunk thighs, even as a slim child. It is a revelation about how the other half live.

More practically, cycling shorts. You need to cover the bulky bit of your inner thigh with something smooth.

[Odiepants]

Another vote for Big Bloomers anti chafing pants. Really cool, non sweaty and stay put. They do come up small - I get the 18-22 and I'm a 16-18 bottom half.

[nandaandm]

Spray them with dry shampoo. It really works !
