Need to loose lots, started walking, now have to stop because in the heat legs rubbing means I am now in severe pain help me!

[fattime]

help anyone else had same problem hate trousers.

I can't think of how you can stop it without wearing trousers or shorts, really.
Could you not get some floaty trousers and try and fool yourself that it is a skirt?

talcum powder (i know old lady stuff!) will stop the friction, apply before walking

Oooh - sore -poor you - I had chafing probs when I was pregnant.

Buy some medicated powder and put on your thighs. It soaks up any moisture but I had to keep reapplying and take it in my bag everywhere I went.

Try to have bare legs as much as possible when you're at home.

germolene. Have a chafing problem myself and it contains a local anesthetic (sp). It really works (does smell a little bit though).

Deodorant to the tops of your thighs works wonders

Sorry that's as a preventative not a cure

'comfort shorts' from evans are a lifesaver! They're a bit like shorts made out of tights but more cottony than tights, if that makes any sense! £4 or £5 a pair I think.

glad you added the extra post poptot, deoderant on chaffed legs

To stop it happening again, get some comfort shorts from Evans. They're like the top part of a pair of tights, and my sister swears by them.

Or wear a pair of cycling shorts underneath your skirt.

just had to add the word chaffing always makes me think of alan partridge

God what an awful looking link!

Ok so you hate trousers but these soft grey 'joggers' look absolutely fine on a fuller figger. My friend has them and looks good, and they are soft and comfortable.

Well, fattime (change your name this instant!), I have problems with this and I'm a Size 8, so it's not a 'large legs' issue necessarily.

Wigwambam suggested cycle shorts under your skirt, and I would second that. It's the only thing that really works in the hot weather.

Wear cycling shorts under your skirt?

Talcum powder good, but if doing long walks how are you going to apply more half way?

That was a cross post with wigwambam.

Not a "wear cycling shorts under your skirt ?"

If you see what I mean.....

Desiderata it is really good to know it's not just fatties like me who have this problem! I've put on so much weight lately and not had the problem before, could it be the way I walk now?!
Thanks everyone, cycle shorts suggestions sounds good I will look further thanks too handlemecarefully (I should be called that right now!) I would never dream of wearing that style but will check it out too.
