Aibu to ask how you deal with thigh rub?

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 Hmm. Surely I am not the only uncomfortable person ?

Deodorant STICK, not roll on.

Compeed anti-blister stick also works really well but is a lot more expensive than a deodorant stick and doesn’t last as long.

Hope this helps Smile

Another vote for bodyglide. It's amazing stuff and lasts for ages

redfragglebiker · 20/04/2018 19:41

Bodyglide for sure. If it can get me running then it must be magic!

Sloggis!! They are cotton, extremely comfortable. I freaking love them! A must have in every wardrobe!

HermioneWeasley · 20/04/2018 19:43

Sloggi shorts, they’re brilliant

mrspicklepants27 · 20/04/2018 19:43

I literally use those Bridget Jones pants (but the shorts version!)

The Big Bloomers Company is your friend here.

Their pants with little legs have changed my life.

nawnee2 · 20/04/2018 19:48

They may be expensive but worth every penny

I got a pair of cycling shorts from Primark, think they were about £2. There nice and thin so don't get hot and it solves the problem for me!

Body glide converts, are you using the pink or blue stick? Is there a difference apart from the pink one saying 'for her'?

Summergarden · 20/04/2018 20:06

Following as I have the same problem! Think I might try with deodorant first or else cheap cycling shorts.

AliTheMinx · 20/04/2018 20:08

Another vote for The Big Bloomers Company - a total gamechanger!

GhostedDad · 20/04/2018 20:09

I known this might sound weird but udder cream for cows works...

England3 · 20/04/2018 20:09

Lush silky underwear is good.

Coffeeisnecessary · 20/04/2018 20:14

The lanacane stuff is really effective, it's made of silicone I think so it helps your thighs glide against each other of that makes sense!! Have to use a fair amount though.

ILoveMyMonkey · 20/04/2018 20:15

Another sloggi fan here. They feel really light and not at all hot because of being cotton, love them.

steff13 · 20/04/2018 21:54

I was going to come back to tell you all about Fresh Balls, but I see you've already discovered it. Grin The anti monkey butt powder is pretty good too.

I personally wouldn't use talcum powder in that area. Here most baby powder, body powder, etc., uses cornstarch instead.

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 20/04/2018 22:09

I am in the US, so may have access to different products, but I use a cream called Fresh Breasts

GrinGrinGrin

That’s really ticked me !

IggyAce · 20/04/2018 22:14

I use little angels liquid talc from asda 85p, it really helps stop my chafing.

Bandalettes

SimonBridges · 20/04/2018 22:24

Have and fat ladies used bandalettes? I wonder about them rolling down on a chunky lass.
