Thigh chaffing, what is the solution?

[Zanzibaragain]

It's hot and humid, I want to wear a pretty floaty dress not german hausfrau shorts or boring boring boring linen draw string trousers this summer.

I have tried antiperspirant, hairspray, lanacane, talcum powder, and some specialist stuff for surfers.

I don't want to wear Spanx but something similar in a lighter less suffocating and strangulating style would be great.

Any ideas

I always tend to wear a pair of thin cycling shorts under dresses/skirts. But I never wear anything shorter than knee length (I hate my fat knees!)

Thigh chafe is the WORST. You have my sympathy.

I see you've tried antiperspirant so my suggestion of roll on is probably no good.

I hear Evans sell some sort of shorts?

Have you tried talc or lanacane anti chafing gel?
I used to wear cut off leggings under maxi dresses but got too hot

YY cycling short knickers.

On holiday once I cut up a pair of leggings in desperation!

Obvious but slightly po-faced solution has been losing weight. It just doesn't happen anymore.

Buzz feed did a thing on this recently and I am coveting a pair of very thin shorts with lace trim that they advertised. I have a of short white leggings but they get a bit bunchy

You know the big rolls of plasters ? I one bought one cut it into 4 long strips . 2 on each inner thigh . I liked that because plasters are flesh coloured so less likely to be noticed .

Place marking on this. We go to tenerife in the morning and I have worried about thigh chafe for days. We do a lot of walking.

Am going to experiment with sudacreme and hope for the best.

Where is it hot and humid today? According to the BBC nowhere in the UK is going to be warmer than 19 degrees.

Yes cotton mix cycle shorts. Get from amazon. This sorta thing:

loads of colours

I know you've said you've used antiperspirant, but I've always used my deodorant and it works really well!

Someone on here mentioned Bandalettes (think that's what they're called? They look like the tops of hold ups, I've not tried them though so can't vouch for effectiveness.

May I present ....
Anti-Chafing Gel

Sorry, just saw you had tried it, bugger!

For everyday use, I can get away with Lanacane.

For longer walks or sightseeing on holidays, I use Sloggis www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00SMYH2HU/ref=s9_hps_bw_g193_i5?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-3&pf_rd_r=187NAT7TQNWSHBMPB0MA&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=427935007&pf_rd_i=1648602031
I did balk at the price initially but I'm so glad I bought them. I try to wear them only when it's absolutely necessary but I find Sloggis tend to last for years anyway.

Oops, sorry about the long link.

Haven't tried it but this has been mentioned before. Runners use it.

H&M have thin lace trimmed shorts that are designed to be worn under clothes to stop thigh chafing, they come in white and black. I think they are about £3.99. I saw them recently in my local store.

Lose weight?

May the milk in your tea be ever so slightly off pinK

I don't take milk in tea- but quite frankly it is the honest answer to your question.

Er no Pinkfrock not always. Some of us get chafe no matter how much weight is lost.
Not sure why I am engaging with twatty posts though.

M&S do cycling short type light cotton knickers in white, black and beige. They have been my lifesaver under maxi dresses here in the Middle Easr.

I'm very pear shaped, even when I was a size 8 I had a certain amount of thigh chafe, some people just carry more weight on their thighs than others.

I wear Evans comfort shorts, if that helps.

I use the glide stuff, works fab. Just need something now to stop crotch rot under my boobs :-(
