Do you wear knickers with chub rub shorts?

[NCTDN]

Sorry was the easiest way to describe them. I love summer dresses but need the shorts underneath. I’ve always worn knickers but was thinking that actually it’s an extra layer. If they have a gusset then I assume they’re designed to wear on their own?

Well I never knew that product existed @NotTodayPhyllis , thanks for the link!

The exact same ones I have. They are worth every penny. They are long legged knickers, fresh pair each day. If they had short legs you would wear knickers underneath so why would you when they have long legs?

Most of the shorts aren't cotton though - cotton pants all the way next to my skin

Yes these are what I have

Interesting that it’s a 50/50 split. To the pp that says they don’t wear anything underneath dresses, you clearly don’t have thighs that rub like mine!!

But they're acting as underwear - why on earth would I wear knickers with them?

I have the Snag ones, they're made of polyamide and elastine with the minimal cotton gusset. During the last warm weather, I wore them 5 days in a row (fresh ones each day) without pants. I developed a rash at the uppermost part of the leg where the fabric sat neatly against the "armpit" of the leg, and a minor vaginally infection. So I will stick to my cotton pants as a necessary under layer.

They replace knickers. Transforms the comfort. I used to feel hot and miserable, trussed up like a chicken. Makes such a difference, wearing only one layer. It’s like when you’re able to ditching the bra.

I wear some by Sloggi that are 100% cotton with a gusset. They’re essentially pants with legs

Yes, mine are like tights.

Exactly. They are knickers but with long legs. With the exception of needing to keep a towel in place I can’t see why you would need to wear knickers.

Oddballs bamboo womens boxer shorts. They're the future...

Always wear knickers. But then I don’t wear those shorts when it’s super hot, I’d wear proper shorts or cropped trousers instead of a dress.

I wear the M+S ones by themselves. I also wear them under loose wide legged trousers as I can still get some friction at the tops of my inner thighs because the trousers don’t actually fit snugly. Plus, in this weather I wear them instead of pj bottoms because for some weird reason I can’t bear my thighs sticking together in bed - game changer!

I don't wear knickers under mine, but mine are 100% cotton. They get washed after every wear, like normal knickers.

I also sized up so while they are still snug enough to do the job around the thighs, they are slightly looser everywhere else. Surprisingly comfy and cool.

No just the shirts, to me it's obvious they are the knickers

I like these long legged knickers: https://uk.stepone.life/products/womens-body-shorts-blush If I wear chubby rub shorts then I prefer knickers underneath

I have the Snag ones and wear knickers under because they are essentially the top of tights (I know the gusset is cotton but it's quite small, I always assumed that like on tights it's just to make them a bit more breathable in that area).

I'm interested in the Sloggi ones as I have some other Sloggi underwear that is great - @MachineBee @Unicornsandprincesses where do you get yours from? I looked on Amazon and I do not understand the sizing which is a mixture of S-XL and really high numbers which are not mentioned on the size chart

Yes I just never thought not to wear knickers as well!

Oooh did you find you had to reapply through the day?

Of course. They're not underwear.

Thanks for this. I have been wearing Wirarpa knickers for ages since someone here recommended them. Thanks to whoever it was. I will definitely get the shorts.

Could you try walking with your feet further apart?

I just use vaseline its brilliant i have a huge tub at home and a tiny one i take out with me, you put loads on where you rub on your thighs and no chaffing its brilliant

I use vaseline its brilliant and it doesnt mark but if youre worried just wear a peticoat underneath
