Inner thigh chaffing, find me an answer

[zanz1bar]

i look better in summer dresses, but suffer from the dreaded red sore inner thigh.
I have tried lanacane, hair spray, baby powder all work for an hour or so but need reapplying.
I have bought spans like pants with long legs and that works like a dream, but I really don't need the tight bandaging around the waist.
So I am looking for some sort of very light long leg pants, something like control top tights with a bit of thigh cover so I can washy down the street and not walk like John Wayne.
Any ideas?

I wear these. Even though I have now lost 20lbs, and am a size 10/12, chafing is still an issue. These are really comfy. (Hope link works!)

Comein- it doesn't have to be a Spanish hotel, it could be the tray cloth from any country in continental Europe.

I bought mine from flowerbags on eBay. Came really quickly too.

Ah yes, Hermione, I was being unnecessarily restrictive much like some of these bloomers.

Really, give antiperspirant a go - I am hugely chubby of thigh (at all weights) and it works a treat.

And I suspect that those saying 'ooh, just lose a bit of weight you fatties, that will sort your thighs out' are apple shapes. It's like saying to apples 'ooh, don't moan about needing to wear a bra, just lose a bit of weight and your tits will be all neat and pert and self-supporting'.

loving this thread

BodyGlide works very well- it's specially designed to stop chafing for runners (use it under their arms and between legs.

A vote here for the evans shorts.

It is interesting to know that others struggle with this (aside from others who are bigger like me).

I always imagine all slim people await the summer with glee so they can wear lovely dresses/skirts.

Lots of good solutions on here.

Butwhen it's very hot you want to wear a flimsy skirt to let the air circulate. wearing evans shorts underneeth won't allow that feeling as they're bulky, which is why silky cullottes are the way to go.

these look good.

Bring back bloomers is what I say

Anyone have a view on whether the Evans things or the Sloggi version is better? Lanacane works well for me so far but best to be prepared for all contingencies!

I feel amongst friends :)

Just bought some Mitchum! If it works as well a you say then I'm forever in all of your debts!

Does BodyGlide stain clothes?

When I was pregnant and bloated in the height of summer 2010 I used to buy cheap leggings from primark or h n m and cut the legs to my skirt length. They worked perfectly.

osterley that is brilliantly frugal! And I guess v easy to hem to look naice.

I ordered the sloggi's last night and am now looking forward to wearing a range of skirts/dresses in comfort. I just can't believe I didn't know there were a range of solutions to this years ago!

Body glide doesn't stain clothes- it goes on clear. Mitchum is the best deodorant I have ever found. It just stops me sweating which was a massive problem

me either silent I have lots of skirts and dresses and avoid wearing them when it is very hot as I get a bit sweaty of thigh and then chafe. I also have Mitchum deodorant already. Off to try it out now.

Oh, I do love MN!!!

I was talking about this very problem with a friend on Friday night. I will pass on the ideas to her!

LOVE the phrase "chubby of thighs" Me to a tee.

Pinot I'm sure it would be, I never bothered, just cut carefully and they didn't fray. I had a pair for each dress.

ok, can confirm that Mitchum helps, but not a cure, still a bit sweaty of thigh but I havent been walking too much. Its too bloomin' hot.

I My chubby-thighed friend was just worrying about a gust of wind blowing up the hem of her floaty skirt and revealing those Sloggi bloomers to the world.
