Wasn't sure where to post this but here seemed like the best option.
Has anyone found a magic cream or something that eases chub rub in a pool environment thinking of something like a spa day when you're in a out of the water all day

I would think a cream would wash away and be annoying to keep applying. Maybe get some swim leggings instead?

Board shorts are the answer. Lands End have lovely ones with swimsuit style bottoms integrated. Tankinis with tighter shorts style bottoms also work if you’re not ready for full on board shorts.

I wear swim half leggings and board shorts. I have weight loss skin round my thighs so I like to keep them covered.

Definitely shorts or long tankini bottoms. You shouldn't be getting into the pool with products on your skin, so you would have to be in and out of the shower constantly.

Body Glide - it's water resistant so should stay on. Primark did a great dupe for it last year, not sure if they still stock it though
