Best chub rub shorts?

Can anyone recommend a brand/ style please? I got some from primark but they just rode up to my hip joints 😁 I am a size 12 with very large thighs if that makes any difference. Thanks 😊

M&S are the best IMO
Loads of people seem to love Snag but I found the material is sweaty and all the pairs I bought frayed at the hem.

@WellDoneHun , what are your thighs like, if you'd pardon the question? Grin I've never worn chub rub shorts and I'd worry about them rolling up.

I was just looking at the Sloggi cotton rich ones but I wonder whether the lace at the bottom has much stretch in it.

Plump! Although I’m a fat apple shape so they’re not my biggest part, I was more concerned about rolling down from the waist. However the M&S ones were recommended to me by a friend who is a definite pear with very large thighs. She said to size up.
I seem to remember reading good things about the sloggi ones on a previous threads on here.

Snag. I’m a snag lover.

Are there different types of M&S ones or are these easy enough to find?

Snag 100%

Thank you!

Thanks @WellDoneHun, I too am a fat apple shape, but also with chunky thighs, so I risk both rolling down from the waist and up from the thighs. I'm a gorgeous specimen, I really am. Grin

I have Snag and have raved about them for years but I’m finding I’m getting really sweaty and sticky in them the last few times I wore them. I might try the M&S ones.

I wear lululemon align shorts under dresses/skirts when my legs are bare. Yes, expensive, but the best thing I’ve found by miles. I only have 3 pairs, so have to keep on top of the washing.

M&S also get sweaty on hot days. I’ve worn them in 35 degree heat and I was just sweat from waist to the bottom of the leg. They’re fine on cooler days but I now just wear shorts when it’s really hot, I hate the sweaty feeling the anti-chafe shorts generate.

Ah, thanks for sharing. I might just stick with Snag then. At least for now. I’ve still got some unopened ones from last year so I’ll use them up first.

I get sweaty even at about 23°!! That’s peri for you. 😂

Does anyone have any recommendations for maternity chub rub shorts? Snag don't seem to do them and I worry I won't fit into normal ones by the time summer comes round. Or do people just size up?
