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 ?

Fresh Breasts!!

[PeachesandPie]

Bandalettes! Amazing and don't add an extra layer like shorts. Buy from the US website rather than Amazon as it's cheaper and the customer service is fab.

[Kursk]

Shorts, I have used lard in the past

or these would work?

Failing that, would second an old pair of pale tights cut to desired length.

If you use a balm, does that mean you have greasy thighs all day?

Great thread thank you. I'm 35 weeks pregnant and suffering!

[MagnetarMum]

Lanacane, or essentially the same but cheaper a product called Below the Belt Fresh and Dry Balls (I kid you not), both from Amazon. A home made remedy that works very, very well is coconut oil mixed with cornflour, around the same amounts of both. Mix them together well and keep in a pot. Will last for ages and very effective.

Bendydicks I read that as "chop off your legs" bit extreme

[TheHodgeoftheHedge]

Bodyglide! A PP posted above with a link. It has saved my life!

[KirstenRaymonde]

Another for Body Glide, amazing stuff

[Mymouthgetsmeintrouble]

Asda do liquid talc in the baby section

[BrutusMcDogface]

Below the Belt Fresh and Dry Balls

Oooh, how do you choose between this and Fresh Breasts ?

Joking aside, this is a useful thread as I'm pregnant and suffering too!

[Lazyginger]

Wow these are amazing suggestions am gonna try some of these.
'Fresh breasts'
'Dry balls'
Seriously who decides to name their product this !

[BrutusMcDogface]

This is what came up when I googled "fresh breasts".....

[Potplant2]

Sloggi long pants have changed my life. I never wear a skirt without them now (and I sometimes even wear them under trousers, they’re so comfy). Am totally evangelical about them, they’ve changed my life!

[BrutusMcDogface]

Think my dp might really benefit from the fresh and dry balls, too!

[Lazyginger]

Oh. And sadly even at 9st size 8 running sub 4 hour marathons, this didnt fix the chafe ....slightly heavier now due to -cake ds1.....

[Ollivander84]

Big bloomers company anti chafing pants. Amazing and lightweight

[LucyAutumn]

I also cut the lower leg of tights, it's a winner!

[SparkleBuns]

Thanks for all the tips everyone. My friends and I call this the dreaded Chub Rub and it is a bitch

[StringandGlitter]

In a pinch yesterday I used the Shea butter lip balm that was in my handbag. It worked!

[MrsJacksonAvery]

£2 black cycling shorts from Primark.

[mostdays]

Mitchm roll on. Annoying waiting for it to dry but honestly it has worked better than anything else for me- way outperformed the lanacane anti chafing stuff. I had chafing when I was very slim and I have chafing now I am rather tubby- that's just the shape of my legs! The first time I realised Mitchum actually worked I was overjoyed.

[Ohmydayslove]

Brilliant suggestions.

Can I add that the only way I get thigh gap is cycling.

It’s a huge problem though so suprued there’s no definitive treatment

[2018SoFarSoGreat]
