Fat thighs rubbing together....any solutions?

[nocluemum]

I never weare dresses or skirts cos of the problem I have of my thighs rubbing together and realy hurting by the end of the day. My SIL is getting married and a friend of mine has made me the most gorgeious dress and I cannot wait to wear it but dont want to wear tights (my normal way out)- any ideas of what to do so I dont end up with chafing?

Talc

i swear by a pair of body shaper tights cut off above the knee, give you a nice smooth line and no chafing !

I agree with lulumama - shapers all the way!

Do the tights not have a distractingly frilly edge where you have cut them off?

unless you are waering something skin tight it does not matter

something like this is designed for this problem

jammy gave you the answer, seriously, those comfort pants things are great.
much much lighter than spanx and those sorts of slimming things. plus, i don't need to be sucked in, i just need god to have given me some decent hips so that the tops of my legs would be further apart. it's really not always a fat issue, you bad cod.

all you people are WRONG. OP, go to the first answer you got, and order from there. don't be fooled into thinking you need a stoopid suck suit. you don't.

Try Sudacreme, it really works!

Lordy, Aitch I've just looked at the the link for the comfort shorts, at the beginning, and have visions of my lovely summer skirt blowing up in a Marilyn stylee, if anything is going to make my footballers knees look worse, it's those!

Also aren't they mighty warm?

I swear by the comfort shorts Jammy suggested.

I so don't understand, how does everyone know it is cod when cod's name is always changing? Feel as if it is a big Mumsnet secret known to all but me. sniff.

Those comfort short thingmies look excellent btw, as long as no passionate clothes-ripping-off session is expected.

Paperdoll... just look at the major typos/lack of spelling etc. Tends to give it away every time!

The attitude is a bit of a giveaway, too, ime.

There was a new product advertised on the tv last night for this but can I remember the name? Bugger, will keep thinking and looking out for the ad and report back!

To be fair to the 'lose weight' brigade, in the thread title the OP describes her own thighs as fat.

fair enough, thank you MarsLady. but ... is there a reason why cod changes her name so much? or is it just for the hell of it?

[intrigued/nosey ]

Sorry cod, if you see this, I don't mean to be stalker-ish. Will shut up about it now.

It is one thing to call your own thighs fat, different to have someone else imply you are a lardass.

was going to post re the comfort shorts but find I have been beaten to it.

And now have enough time to say that sanctimonious posts about losing weight are not helpful. It's crass, frankly.

Lose weight??

yes she says FAT THIGHS

FAT THIGHS

fgs!

women's thighs usually have fat on them. It's where we usually carry our fat for child-rearing. Even is she has excess fat there (and since she's 9st 5 that's not a major issue) it's almost impossible to spot reduce.

I happen to be very pear shaped so have this problem but I will never, ever have a fat stomach. That's just not where my weight goes. Shall I tell all you apple types to lose weight or would you tell me to fuck off?

Please, enough with the sanctimony and let those who have helpful answers answer.

child-bearing obviously. though it's nice to have plump thighs for child-rearing - how else do you get a comfortable lap for a child to sit on?

the whole 'childbearing hips' or 'childbearing shape', however, is a complete myth.

plenty of straight up and down types have absoultely no problem conceiving or giving birth.

i agree about the comfie pants.
