Do you wear knickers with chub rub shorts?

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?

The Snag website says they are designed to be worn without underwear. But I wouldn't wear tights without knickers (not since my ballet days), so don't wear chub rubs without them either.

I wear tights without knickers (no tights in this heat though!) providing they have a “realistic” sized cotton gusset and no centre seam (the more expensive Autograph range are good) they stay up better that way; they adhere to your body, no slippage against different fabrics. You have to pay more for them than supermarket cheapies though.

Fair enough, it would never have occurred to me not to wear knickers! I only wear Snag as they are the only brand that fit me.

To all the posters who recommended Wirarpa anti chafe shorts- THANK YOU!

I bought from Amazon this week on the back of this thread and I'm finding them far less sweaty than the nylon ones I had before. Quality is great and so comfortable, that I'm wearing them as shorts around the house. Currently a size 16 and ordered a L size which is perfect.

Tmi so pre warning

I now feel I've been seduced into buying these from an Amazon bot- I am very underwhelmed.

I am currently wearing them with no underwear but I don't think I will be able to do so in future. I guess it is to do with anatomy...large lips and fat arse then knickers are definitely required.

I’ve just received another three pairs from Snag, as I like the colours - I now have nine pairs! Two royal blue, two turquoise, pink, yellow, coral, mint and red (in case anyone is interested!). But I've been getting away with them as gym wear in this hot weather with a loose training top, as well as under dresses and skirts, so I’m glad to have a decent amount in rotation. I wear mine with knickers.
