I'm 25 wks pg, fat, hot and have nothing to wear. The commute on the tube is killing me and none of my cool summer clothes fit me (of course, because I'm FAT AND PREGNANT!!!!)

I'm looking for something like this but for pregnancy, so I can wear a skirt without getting nappy rash on my hot fat sweaty thighs :(

Anyone got any suggestions?

Well at those prices I'm going to have to get the sewing machine out...

Something like This perhaps?

presidents thats why all my dresses come bellow my knees.

And I suspect it's why maxi dresses are so popular (not on me, I'm too short)

I've had this problem all my life and discovered these jobbies from Etsy this year. These are amazing and far, far better than anything else I've ever tried. Perfect for pregnancy as they're not going to make you overheat like spanx, look quite pretty so it doesn't really matter if you accidentally flash someone, they don't budge/ride up/fall down, totally comfortable to wear. I went on holiday last month where it was about 37-38ºC every day and these made it so much more comfortable.

PS: I promise I have nothing to do with the people who sell them. I found out about them on this website when I was googling "how to wear dresses with fat thighs" :)

Another vote for body glide. Got me through a hot hot hot holiday last year, kept a stick in my bag and just topped it up every time I went to the loo. Brilliant stuff.

I have used Bandalettes (because of MN), about a month ago at a wedding. They mostly worked.

I say mostly, because there was one point where the one on my right leg decided to roll up and then fall down as I was walking to the loos to sort it out. I think I carried it off without any one noticing (except possibly a couple of the waiting staff, who I'd just passed as it appeared by my ankle.) After putting it back on and straightening it, it remained in place for the rest of the night, including dancing. The left one was fine throughout.

Besides, later on in the evening, if it had happened again, I would have probably just gone into a full explanation and flashed a lacy thigh at anyone who did notice.

I've stopped wearing skirts this summer due to this. Find talcum powder quite good though. Will try some of the above suggestions too.

I have massive thighs and I've been using body glide - works brilliantly and not expensive.
