If I was due later in the summer I would try Target to see what they had in their Spanz knock-off brands.</p> <p>baby powder is a miracle as well. Preggo sweat is like none other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-to-wear-under-dresses#post-1486403 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 11:38:17 +0000 buffalove 1486403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby powder - I had DS in July of a very HOT summer....I would have passed out with any extra payers on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-to-wear-under-dresses#post-1486345 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 11:16:37 +0000 Mommy Finger 1486345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought the maternity spanx were awful. The material in the belly area were as thin as cheap pantyhose and had runs in them the first day. I had to return them. Maybe I got an off brand or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-to-wear-under-dresses#post-1485058 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 20:01:59 +0000 rawrasaur 1485058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just used baby powder. Too hot in Texas for extra layers. I like the idea of aerosol deodorant, though. Sounds less messy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-to-wear-under-dresses#post-1485037 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 19:53:19 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1485037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: it's usually good all day </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-to-wear-under-dresses#post-1485011 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 19:40:57 +0000 MrsH 1485011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stine_ciro: @NorCalWayfarer: how often do you have to re-apply? </p> <p>I use baby powder. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-to-wear-under-dresses#post-1485001 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 19:36:22 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1485001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Leggings or opaque tights in the winter/spring/fall.

Used it for triathlons (pre-pregnancy) but a friend recommended it in lieu of Spanx in the summer -- genius! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-to-wear-under-dresses#post-1484987 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 19:27:48 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1484987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Deodorant works well to prevent chub rub if you can't find anything. I use the aerosol kind and just coat my inner thighs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-to-wear-under-dresses#post-1484975 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 19:25:21 +0000 night cheese 1484975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-to-wear-under-dresses#post-1484439 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 15:08:59 +0000 whodat 1484439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am wearing maternity "Assets" (the cheaper Spanx) right now under my dress for exactly that reason, and they really are pretty comfortable.

It wasn't shape wear as much as it was support wear! Sure, it smoothed things out a little, but that was it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-to-wear-under-dresses#post-1484387 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 14:53:44 +0000 night cheese 1484387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had chub rub even before I was pregnant, and always wore some kind of little shorts under dresses and skirts to prevent it.</p> <p>I'd wear Spanx (or a cheap version of Spanx) with something tight-ish but more often, I'd just wear Luvees, which are very lightweight and much more comfortable. I also had some basic bike shorts from Target that I liked.</p> <p>Now that I'm pregnant, the chub rub is getting worse, and it's almost spring so I'm going to want to wear dresses and skirts more. But I can't find anything to wear underneath them now. I've seen a couple pairs of maternity bike shorts online but they're really expensive, and since I'll need a few pairs, I'm hoping to find some that are $20 or under. I also know that Spanx makes some maternity shapewear but I'm not looking for something to hold me in, just to cover me up.</p> <p>Any suggestions? What do you wear under dresses? </p>
