to those of you who's thighs don't rub together ...

[2much2young]

... please tell me what size you are and what your thigh circumference is (at it's biggest part).

I am a size 14 but still my thighs rub together and in this heat it's a total pain (literally). How much further do I need to slim down to stop this?! Always been chunky of thigh but surely it's not impossible for me? Currently at 26cm each! what should I be aiming for? 25? 24? 22? 21?

26cm! FFS 25 inches

My dd is 12 years old, 5ft 5" tall and weighs 7 and a half stone and is a size 6. She does not have a gap between her thighs because she has a narrow pelvis. I think it is an unrealistic target for the vast majority of women because we are just not built that way.

Interesting qu.

I would like to know too. I'm a size 12, chunky of thigh too. Past 2 days hace been so painful! Think I'll have to resort to leggings & just boil.

Hi, my thighs also very chunky. Have lost weight recently and the largest part of thigh is now 24"
They don't now rub together - for which I am very grateful. Hope that helps.
A 5'3" if that makes any difference.

your dd is still growing though Mintyy and I suspect that if she is already 5ft 5" at 12 her pelvis will widen a little - she's still got lots of growing to do. Lucky girl she will be long of leg and gloriously slim by the sounds of it.

Size 10-12. Just measured my thighs with a bit of paper and a ruler and they're apparently 21 inches circumference.

I think it also depends on your hip width and how your legs / hips are shaped. My thighs have never rubbed together, I'm not sure what circumference they are but I'm pear shaped so they're not skinny. I'm 5'5 and I weighed 61kg (size 8) before I got pregnant (but was up at 65kg and a size 12 before I lost weight a few years ago and still no rubbing). My thighs have always been muscly from gymnastics when I was a kid, I think that helps too.

I am not much over a size 10 at the moment, have been a 14 in the past. My thighs have always rubbed together ??

thanks FriedSprout I wonder if height does make a difference - I am tall-ish, 5ft 8

I expect muscle tone will make a difference too?

Despite having chunky thighs, mine stopped rubbing together when I got down to a 14 or so. Now I'm a 12 there are no problems.

In support of Minty's theory of pelvis width, I do quite a wide pelvis.

Mine are a lot better since I started dancing 3 times a week. I have now bought and am wearing (in the garden at least ) a pair of size 10 very short shorts from H&M and feel gooooood!

I'm 6ft, size 10/12, my thighs are about 23inches around.. they have never rubbed but i've always been slim. I believe it's to do with hip width too as my friend's always have and she is very narrow through the hips

22 inches. Size 10ish (varies from shop to shop)

As a teenager I was very embarrassed that I had a gap between my thighs and wished my legs were closer together, but I guess it must be uncomfortable in hot weather with constant chafing.

Mine do rub and I have found a product called glide (also used in sport to avoid chaffing) which reduces the friction meaning I can wear skirts now!

I'm 5ft and 7st.
My thighs are 18 inches and don't rub, but think it's definitely more to do with your body shape too.

5ft 9"
Size 14

No idea of thigh circumference but not small! My outer thighs are my issue though. I do do a lot of exercise, running and spinning in particular are very good for thighs.
If I can shift this next 1/2stone my thighs get much smaller.

Size 10 and my thighs are just over 20 inches.

Size 10/12. Thigh circumference of 23.5". My thighs rub together.

21.5 inches at their widest point. I'm a 10-12 too.

I have narrow hips, always have and mine don't rub together. Don't know what circumference they are or how much I weigh. I'm about 5ft 7. I'm a straight up and down shape, no real curves at all.

I do a lot of walking though. 4 miles a day taking ds to school and back and I've ever been a big eater. I hate cakes and chocolate.

Shape of thighs, muscle tone and width of pelvis are all factors. My thighs don't rub when I walk but there's no gap between them, unless I bend forward. I'm a size 8 and thighs are 22in at biggest part.

Size 8 and 21" (nearly 5ft 7) I think the size of your hips would play a part too. I have 'child-bearing' hips according to my ex so my thighs would be further apart I would think.

I thought you look better if there isn't a gap as well? Or am I missing something. I agree it's a body shape thing. I've got wide hips and a very obvious pear shape.

I'm size 8/10 in topshop skinnies, and BMI of 20. Not sure what my thighs measurements are.
