Thigh Rub and Skirts.... Help!

15 replies

ChukkyPig · 09/08/2008 20:36

Love wearing the flippy flappy skirts but in the last year getting dreadful thigh rub in the summer, v sore.

Is it only me? If not, what's the solution?

I don't really want to wear tights and anyway seem to wear holes even in them!

I imagine some little shorts would be the answer - but do such things exist?

I don't really want to have to wear full on trinny and susannah skin-tight "fat-pants" every day as they look v uncomfortable. Also can take a while to peel off I imagine, and my pelvic floor's not what it was...

I'm starting a new job soon, after being at home with the baby and really fancy a beskirted look. So any help would be brilliant!

Ooh, yes, there are some comfortable shorts-type things on the market but I'm not sure where you get them - I'm sure there was a thread about it a while back. Hopefully someone with more info will be along soon!

Oh, I found it! They were called comfort shorts, available from Evans - here.

There is also a new gel or something designed to counteract this problem - will come back with a link if I can find it.

And only £4 a pop! Going to splash out big time. I was going to spend my new job money on nice lingerie, as I've (nearly) stopped BF. Sure DH will be pleased with my evans shorts instead though!!!

I wear them everytime i wear a skirt and they are fab! Have them in every colour (that is something i shouldn't be proud of isn't it!)

Thanks Foofi that gel looks worth a shot as well!

Think I'll have a go with both and see what works best. As far as DH goes, having ditched the lingerie for knee length pants maybe I should describe the other stuff as "rubbing gel" with a and hope he forgets all about it by the time it arrives!

The comfort shorts are fab. I've even worn dresses this summer where before they were just too uncomfortable.

Chukky, they are £4 for 2 pairs I think, even better!

OMG it's a bargain bonanza! Going to hit evans on the high street tomorrow with £4 gripped in my sweaty paw (rather than between my sweaty thighs, they probably wouldn't appreciate that).

I think my new job is 9-5 in a mainly female office, so hopefully I won't have to show anyone my pants!
