How do you wear dresses? I never wear them because I feel like I need to wear leggings or biker shorts (do they still make those?) underneath. I would love to wear some maxi dresses, but I don't want to feel my legs rubbing.
-
Almost never because my old Spanx are too small. But a good fitting pair of the high waisted Spanx shirts do the trick.
-
I wear yoga shorts!
-
Spanx!
-
Weirdest trick ever, but I rub deoderant on my inner thighs. Keeps chafe at bay!
-
In the winter I wear tights. In the spring/fall I may wear Spanx. Summer I use Body Glide (what I use for triathlons to prevent chaffing from wetsuits and biking). My friend told me she used it under dresses -- genius! http://www.amazon.com/BodyGlide-BGCB-Bodyglide-Original-Anti-Chafe/dp/B005L8YVRO
-
Bike shorts or capri leggings - wearing them right now!! Haha
-
@meganmp: I've heard that before! It sounds sooo weird, but it makes sense. I would get the *weirdest* look from DH if he saw me doing that though.... haha
-
I wear BodyGlide. Works wonders! However...it does rub off after awhile (I learned the hard way during a half-marathon). Stash it in your bag to reapply if it's going to be hot and you'll be out all day.
-
Spanx and/or spray talc
-
@BabyBoecksMom: I hate with a H my legs touching. I almost always have to wear jams to sleep in because I hate it so much. (To DH's everlasting chagrin, but I'll never tell him why! I usually say it is because I'm cold, ha.) All that to say...I wear Spanx.
-
I put deodorant too!! I wear dresses a lot at work, comfy and I can still sit on the carpet with the students. I rock tights most days, but just rub some between the legs and I am good to go!(I have an extra one just for this purpose...)
-
I recently found this...
Bandelettes - product: anti chafing thigh http://www.bandelettes.com/tag/chafing-thighs/
I wore them to a wedding and they worked... but... I want to say you get two... one for each thigh and at the wedding they kept rubbing against each other for me and rolling because of that... but I figured out that if I just use one on one thigh it worked out better for me.
Just a note just in case you get them. I think they were worth it for me.
-
Baby powder!
-
Body glide!! I have huge thighs from running and lifting heavy and I swear by it!
-
I've done the deodorant trick before and it works! I do this when I know I will be dancing or sweating somehow, or sitting for a long time, which makes it worst.
-
If I'm not wearing tights or leggings under, I steal dh's boxer briefs
I also have a pair of yoga shorts, but his are thinner material. I've used deodorant or baby powder too, but those wear off if I'm out and about for longer amounts of time.
-
Another spanx vote!
-
Spanks!
-
Body Glide for me too! Or any other anti-chafe cream (CVS makes a good one). Again, keep it in your purse to reapply! I find that the legs of my spanx roll up and I am constantly pulling them down.
-
I put a little baby powder or anti-chaffing cream under there. I've used body glide, but often use the Monistat one (it's NOT for yeast infections, it's a separate product) since it's also an awesome face primer.
-
I use deodorant or wear spans type shorts - but i wanted to say that I always thought my thighs rubbed together because I was pleasantly plump - but at 130lbs or 180lbs my thighs still rubbed - and I have a friend who is pushing 180lbs but has very wide set hips, so even at that weight she has no chub rub issues - I realise now it isn't totally weight related!
-
I do spanx or deodorant. But on super hot days or days I know I'll be walking a lot I just suck it up and wear pants
-
I use this!
-
@Smurfette: I use that, too. Deodorant when I run out. Cocoa butter in a pinch, (but it doesn't work as well as the others).
-
I wear the cheapo spanx
-
My sister does bike shorts! I just suffer like an idiot. I think I'll try these tricks this summer!
-
I wear bike shorts. I always thought I was the only weird one who did this...
-
I swear by band aid brand blister stick. It's slightly larger than chapstick and therefore easy to keep in your purse in the summer.
-
I used body glide when I had that problem.
I also have a pair of yoga shorts, but his are thinner material. I've used deodorant or baby powder too, but those wear off if I'm out and about for longer amounts of time.
