Amber in SJ Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I tried these and they work wonderfully. Slip shorts don't work for me because they creep up and then not only do I get the dreaded chub rub, but I have bunched up fabric under my cheek. Bike shorts are too thick and make me sweaty. These are super soft, super light and feel great. These are not shape wear or compression undies. I went up one size because I am bottom heavy. https://www.amazon.com/Zerdocean-Womens-Modal-Basic-Shorts/dp/B06ZY9FY12/ref=pd_rhf_dp_s_cp_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B06XR8X7ZY&pd_rd_r=FG1KYX959DWXS73G0J5G&pd_rd_w=eGO0c&pd_rd_wg=bNWBf&refRID=FG1KYX959DWXS73G0J5G&th=1 Amber in SJ 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnificent_baby Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Thanks for the recommendation, I am always looking for something like this to wear under my work scrubs. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TammyS Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Thank you for this. I have a pear of cut off yoga pants that I use, but they have seen better days and I've been wondering what I would replace them with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefgazer Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Chafing gel? I've seen it sold at LL Bean; my DD has this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber in SJ Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 Dh uses this for those 50+ mile backpacking trips. He says it works great, but I need an actual fabric barrier. https://www.amazon.com/MONISTAT-Complete-Chafing-Relief-Powder/dp/B00AXVJF52/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1495731725&sr=8-1&keywords=monostat%2Banti%2Bchafing%2Bgel&th=1 Amber in SJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambam Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I recently purchased a pair of the Undersummers, and I've been happy with them. It hasn't gotten hot yet, so I'm not sure how they will when it is hot and humid outside. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JKSR948/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meganrussell Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I need to try these! I'm not overweight, but I'm not thinking, either. I love skirts, and sometimes I don't wear them if I'll be walking a lot (the zoo, the mall, etc) especially in hot weather (we live in Louisiana). Good price and I'm sure they're comfortable!

bolt. Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I usually put on anti-perspirant on my thighs as well as my armpits when I wear skirts in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaeFlowers Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 What is a thigh gap? When you stand with your feet together and your thighs do not touch. The space between is called a thigh gap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spryte Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 When you stand with your feet together and your thighs do not touch. The space between is called a thigh gap. Thank you. And laughing semi-hysterically. Even when I was a size 0, and weighed 93 lbs, I didn't have a thigh gap! That was most of my adult life, I'm not talking about an adolescent. I guess some of us are just not built like supermodels. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenNC Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) My daughter just picked up some cotton knit Forever 21 legging shorts to try under her dresses. She's a size 10, but has inherited the proportionally larger thighs from my mother's side of the family. We had seen a recommendation to try buying lace leggings and cutting them off, but then saw these for less than $4. http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?BR=f21&Category=bottoms_shorts&ProductID=2000064887&VariantID= They also seem to carry a lace trimmed cotton biker short that might work ($5.90). http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?BR=f21&Category=bottoms_shorts&ProductID=2000091570&VariantID= Since dress and skirt styles are currently above the knee for the younger (than me) crowd, it's been a bit challenging finding something that's not too long in the inseam for her. I wear skirts/dresses exclusively because I prefer them and couldn't live without my pantalettes/split slips that I usually get from Woman Within or Roamans. I don't wear anything that's shorter than about mid-calf, though. Edited May 26, 2017 by KarenNC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterbaby Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I usually use either the gel or deodorant, or honestly just being sure to keep the area very dry usually works (wiping briskly with paper towels before leaving, even if the skin doesn't actually feel damp). It's very strange - I have gone through phases where this was a pressing issue for me and I absolutely needed to have something not to be downright injured, and phases where it was a complete non-issue, with no change in weight, climate, or anything else I could identify. I gave up on extra items of clothing as a solution though. Sometimes they make it worse by trapping sweat, and then seams can irritate as well... sometimes regular pants are bad for the same reason.
