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?

[TheRealFellatio]

I refuse to even measure mine. Admittedly I am on holiday and do not have a tape measure handy but if I did, I probably wouldn't tell you.

[2much2young]

no excuse Fellatio others have improvised with office equipment I suggest you get some straws and a beach ball and take it from there

[KatoPotato]

hahaha 2much yes, there must be a string of party lanterns you can use?

[EliotNess]

i am a 10 - 12 on the bottom half - fattest bit of ( admittedly slim ) legs is..

22 inches

no rubbing

[EliotNess]

meausred with a DIY ruler

OUCHy

[EliotNess]

think there is some interesting measuring going on here - size 16 with 29 inches!!

teh BIGGEST bit guys?

[EliotNess]

sorry " size 16 with 19 inch thighs?"


You must fall over

[JemimaMuddledUp]

Size 12, thighs measure just under 20" at the widest part. They don't rub together, but I think I have a fairly wide pelvis.

[eurozammo]

OK, I've just measured:

5'6
size 10-12 atm
22inches

They have always rubbed, even when I was underweight according to BMI.

[Morebiscuitsplease]

Ok, am chafing and sore...solutions other than my linen trousers please... Using sudocrem at the moment. :(

[chickydoo]

5ft7
8 stone 6lbs
18.7 around thigh.
I work in the fitness industry, thighs look muscled but lean ish...actually they look a bit odd TBH.

[BillStickersIsInnocent]

I'm 5 6.

Size 12 ish but with comparatively slim legs

20 inches at widest part

No rubbing, but even when I was a lot heavier and/or pregnant I have never had this problem. It's a body shape thing as others have said

[SuperiorCat]

Agree it is to do with body shape - as a teen with a BMI of 19 mine rubbed - dsis is nearly 6' and size 8 - no body fat anywhere apart from on her thighs - they rub.

9yo DD who dances 3+ times a week and has ribs on show and no body fat has hefty thighs too that rub.

[CharlotteBronteSaurus]

i have now measured - size 14, 5'9, 11st1, thighs 24 inches
thunderous but no chafing

[GirlWithTheDirtyShirt]

I am not measuring my thighs but have always had this problem - even when a size ten.

BUT

I do have a solution.

I've been using roll on anti perspirant on my thighs. No chafing all summer. Mitchums 48 hour stuff.

[2much2young]

I blame the parents

fear not though thigh rubbers this heat can't last for long!

[NotAnotherPackedLunch]

Maybe it is also to do with our gait.
I'm not going to be able to stop watching myself in shop windows to see if I am avoiding chafing by inadvertently walking like John Wayne.

[robobear]

22" with no rubbing and a size 10, but I do have a massive (what i always thought was my arse but may be my hips?) which probably helps

[BellaVita]

I am 5ft and 8st 7lb, my thigh measures 21". They do not rub together.

[gaggiagirl]

Size 10 20 inches they don't rub but I do walk like a fella.

[IWillOnlyEatBeans]

My thighs don't touch at all - 19 inches at their widest part (right at the top). I am 5ft 5 and size 8-10.

[DoctorRobert]

5' 3", size 10, thigh is 21 inches. They don't rub together

[Beaverfeaver]

5ft4 with size 12 legs, always rubbed.
Talc is my friend, but it doesn't last

[LizzyDay]

Maybe we should do an apple / pear poll of thigh rubbingness.

I am a pear - thigh rub - TICK

[LizzyDay]

And btw apple / pear status is genetic and nothing to do with lardiness / laziness.
