Thigh chub rub clothing recommendations

43 replies

Snooks1971 · 22/06/2020 20:21

Please! I usually hover between sizes 12 to 14, no chub rub issues really when a 12. Currently a 14 since lockdown unsurprisingly!
Wearing jeans I’m fine, hot weather is looming though and today I felt uncomfortable in my skirt.
I’ve read on here about recommendations that won’t add to the heat factor but I didn’t ‘watch’ or save the threads.
Any advice v welcome, thank you.

Liquid talc! Roll on deodorant works too x

Snooks1971 · 22/06/2020 20:25

Thanks @WhoUsedMyName does that stop the rubbing together sensation though? They don’t chafe or get sore, I just hate the feeling of them making contact!

Yeah liquid talc is best they kind of glide each other 🤣

Sloggi long knickers. They're expensive but amazing.

SoLongFurlough · 22/06/2020 20:29

Cycling shorts or sports leggings cut up to make shorts
If they're for sports then they're 'wicking' which means they soak the sweat up

Snag do chub rub shorts in cute colours. snagtights.com/collections/80-denier-opaque-chub-rub-shorts

mrwalkensir · 22/06/2020 20:33

www.thebigbloomerscompany.co.uk/ are good

ChipsyChopsy · 22/06/2020 20:35

Another for snag chub rub shorts

HermioneWeasley · 22/06/2020 20:36

Right, I have tried everything and sloggi long leg cotton knickers are the best.

I love snag tights, but their cub rub shorts are made from tight material so get sweaty.

Bandalettes are useless.

Lotions, talc, anti chafe gel work for a bit but rub off.

Honestly, sloggi long leg all the time

Snooks1971 · 22/06/2020 20:44

Thanks everyone. The snag name def rings a bell.... I can’t bear the heat in usual circumstances and the thought of adding another layer down below fills me with dread, but equally I don’t like the chub rub. My fault for having a lazy lockdown I guess.

PS are sloggi cool to wear? I think of them a bit like shape wear (and therefore hot and tight). Most probably my ignorance though!

www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-partners-15-denier-anti-chafing-bands/nearly-black/p4899625

Unlike the pp I really rate these... the one star review is because the person thought that they were an actual pair of stockings!

IgnoranceIsStrength · 22/06/2020 21:08

The snag ones are quite cooling. They dont feel any hotter and so
much comfier

Snooks1971 · 22/06/2020 21:22

Hmm think I will give the snag ones a go... tiggy the bands look interesting but I just know that they will get lost in the detritus of the washing basket - 5 of us here (and I’m too lazy if you hadn’t already guessed!) to wash them separately x

Jockey skimmies and udderley smooth anti chafing Cream. Both on amazon

Prettybluepigeons · 22/06/2020 22:54

the sloggi ones are immense-just cotton knickers in the style of cycle shorts. not shape wear at all.
the snag etc are made from tights material which is really hot and sweaty.

sohypnotic · 22/06/2020 22:59

I felt comfy and not too hot in the snag chub rub shorts last year. I also recommend the tights!

Luaa · 22/06/2020 22:59

I don't find the snag ones hot at all, I think they're great

TheWoodsareDarkandDeep · 22/06/2020 23:03

Stick deodorant works well for me

vaz119 · 23/06/2020 00:07

Im exactly the same..size 14..i swear by Jockey skimmies slip shorts..so smooth and cooling...i buy on amazon...not tight or compression

weareyoung · 23/06/2020 11:31

M&S cool comfort anti chafing shorts.

I'm wearing them as we speak, I love them and I recommend them to absolutely everyone.

ihearttc · 23/06/2020 12:45

Jockey Skimmie shorts, they are brilliant.

Iloveantiques · 23/06/2020 12:59

I like the snag ones. Not hot at all.

madcatladyforever · 23/06/2020 13:05

I buy chub rub shorts off amazon, they just look like shorts rather than pantaloons and are very cheap. I could not wear a skirt in summer without them.

madcatladyforever · 23/06/2020 13:06

I've also been know to cut the legs off tights and make shorts out of them in an emergency Grin
