Bandelettes are a sexy solution to an embarrassing problem – chafing due to inner thigh friction. Bandelettes are 6" elastic lace bands with nonslip silicone, designed to stay up without creating bulges. Available in caramel, red, black, and white. Lårbåndet skal plasseres der hvor lårene gnisser mest. Ofte er det helt øverst på låret, der lårene er tykkest. Men da blir lårbåndet ofte så høyt plassert bak at den øverste kanten legger seg i "sprekken" mellom rumpa og låret. Det løser du ved å dra lårbåndet ned bak, så det kommer nedenfor rumpa. Da blir lårbåndet plassert litt skrått, og det går helt fint. Lenger opp foran, og lenger ned bak... :D
Sømmen plasserer du rett bak. Hvis du setter sømmen på innsiden av låret, for å skjule dem, å vil sømmene gnisse mot hverandre, og det vil du ikke! Lykke til! Presseomtale fra PeopleStyle:
We Tried It: Lacy Little Things Meant to Prevent 'Thigh Rub' What it is: Bandelettes — they’re lacy bands that promise to protect your inner thighs from rubbing — and all the pain and suffering that comes with it. Who tried it: Elizabeth Carmona, Associate Editor Why she did it: Because I have a curvy lower half, and, while I love skirts and dresses, the thigh rub situation is a highly unfortunate side effect. How crazy is it?: Crazy … crazy genius, that is! For me, summer fashion means cute skirts, flowy dresses and (womp) irritating thigh rub. So, when I heard about Bandelettes, I couldn’t wait to give them a whirl. I must admit, though, I was dubious at first. These little pieces of fabric are going to solve this persistent problem? “We’ll see about that,” I thought. Well, I was pleasantly surprised. The lacy bands slide over your thighs and have an adhesive lining so they won’t slip down over time. I wore them for a full day under an above-the-knee skirt and they totally did their job. Plus, they’re as affordable as my regular everyday lingerie, they come in tons of colors (though I’d stick to nude or black) and they don’t show at all. Just measure the circumference of your thighs and choose the best fit for you. The Verdict: If you’re a girl like me who suffers from this problem, I recommend giving Bandelettes a try—they’ll certainly ease your pain! Hevder «MermaidThighs» faktisk er en positiv trend. I 2013 ble «thigh gap» et nytt stikkord i kroppsfokus-debatten og siden den gang er det mange som har ment at denne trenden bidrar til et uriktig bilde og feil fremstilling av hva som er en «sunn kropp». På sosiale medier «Thigh gap» er en betegnelse som brukes til å omtale hulrommet som oppstår på toppen av lårene, når man er så slank at lårene ikke møter hverandre når man står med bena samlet. Nå er det derimot en ny «thigh-trend» som herjer i sosiale medier, nemlig «MermaidThighs», ifølge Cosmopolitan. «Denne trenden er den beste responsen til «thigh gap» noensinne. Vi vet alle hvor idiotisk «thigh gap»-trenden er og at dette ikke handler noe om hvor mye fett man har på kroppen. Dette mellomrommet er mer avhengig av hvilken kroppsbygning man har og hvordan hoftene dine sitter», skriver Cosmopolitan., mener nettstedet. Viser frem sine lår som er inntil hverandre «MermaidThighs», eller havfruelår om du vil, handler rett og slett om at beina dine SKAL ha kontakt med hverandre når du står oppreist. Man ser stadig flere kvinner som legger ut bilder i sosiale medier med hashtaggen #MermaidThighs og mange mener at dette er et positivt svar til det enorme kroppsfokuset som herjer i sosiale nettverk.

I’ve said it before, and I’m quite certain I’ll mention it again: I struggle with my thighs rubbing. I used to get really embarrassed about it (I mean, people do call it chub rub), and then I realized two things. First, this is an issue for me even when I’m at my leanest. Chafing was still an issue. Also, it’s an issue for a lot of people, but because it tends to make people feel embarrassed, it’s generally not discussed all that often. I think that could stand to change. For working out, the solution is pretty simple — I almost always wear capris or tight shorts that are long enough to cover the area that rubs. However, this isn’t only a problem during exercise — chafing can also occur when I’m just walking around, and since I like wearing dresses, that can be an issue. (...) Bandelettes Bandelettes are one of my favorite new finds. They’re 5.5- to 6-inch tall bands for your thighs and look kind of like the lacy tops of thigh-high stockings. They utilize non-slip silicone on the insides to keep them perfectly in place, and are available in a variety of sizes and colors because, the fact is, people of all sizes face thigh rubbing issues. They’re totally comfortable — I wore them to a party last weekend and totally forgot I was wearing them — and extremely easy to use. I mean, I’m talking dummy-proof here. And, aside from being a little unusual, they’re actually quite pretty (although I don’t think I’ll be wearing them under anything so short that they actually show — just not really my style). Bandelettes also offers a unisex sport version to be worn, well, for sports, but under short shorts. I haven’t tried these out yet, to be honest, but considering how well the lace version stayed in place throughout a night of walking, dancing and climbing stairs, I’m betting they work pretty well. And hey, if that’s what gets you into a pair of shorts you’ve been shunning, that’s a pretty sweet deal, right?

Secret Shield Presseomtale fra Seventeen: 9 Curvy Girl Fashion Hacks to Get You Through Summer It's getting hot out there. These pro tips will help you prevent the heat and humidity from cramping your style. 1. Wear cotton instead of polyester. Not all summer dresses are created equal. 2. Rock short-shorts under skirts to banish inner-thigh chafing. While putting baby powder, Monistat Chafing Relief Gel, or Body Glide Anti-Chafing Formula on the inside of your thighs can help stop chafing, you often have to reapply them throughout the day, and they don't always hold up in 100 degree weather. Instead,wear cute biker shorts under dresses and skirts on hot days. They will help keep your whole crotch area dry (and are a lifesaver if your skirt blows up in the wind). H&M makes affordable versions in breathable cotton, DKNY Smoothies are stretchy and comfy, and Bandelettes makes anti-chafing thigh bands that look like shorts, so you can show them off under your skirt for a fashion-y look, or hide them under a longer hemline. 3. Try boyfriend shorts to keep your booty covered without hiding your curves. 4. Go for loose halter tops over tight tanks to avoid underarm chafing. 5. Rock a hi-low hemline to keep your dress from flying up in the back. 6. Tone down cleavage without adding an extra layer. 7. Shop for swimwear that has mix-and-match tops and bottoms. 8. Patch the inside of your jeans to combat inner thigh rips. 9. Wear adjustable rings so they'll still fit when your fingers swell from the heat.

7 Ways to Prevent Thigh Rub At Monday’s Met Gala, Schumer, 34, stunned in an Alexander Wang gown, and her Instagram account featured plenty of behind-the-scenes photos of her prepping for the big event. But it was this video of Amy Schumer applying deodorant to her inner thighs—“No chafe#nothighgapnoproblem”— that racked up more than 121,000 likes. Obviously, many of us can relate. Deoderant is “good in a pinch,” confirms Dr. Piliang. As a general rule, anything that absorbs moisture can help with chafing, she says. But deodorant can also be drying, so if you use it too often, your skin might become even more irritated. With summer right around the corner, we asked the experts for a few more options to help stop the chafe. Bandelettes On first glance, these look too pretty to be useful. But in fact, Bandelettes are specifically designed to ward off chafing. Plus, they’re also recommended by fashion editors and bloggers alike. They’re non-slip, made of silicone, and are cute enough to wear with (or, ahem, without) your favorite skirt. Lip balm Since lip balms are slick, they can help keep your thighs from rubbing against each other and creating friction, says Carolyn Bangert, MD, a dermatologist at McGovern Medical School at University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. Petroleum jelly This is another option that can act as a lubricant and prevent friction, says Dr. Bangert. Bonus: Petroleum jelly can also be used to soothe already-chafed skin. (The only downside? It can be a little greasy.) Body Glide An anti-chafing balm that helps prevent the skin irritation caused by friction, Body Glide is an alternative for people who don’t want to deal with messier products. Plus, it also protects against blisters, which makes it especially useful for weekend warriors and athletes alike. Spanx They’re a good option when you’re wearing a dress: The fabric acts as a barrier against the skin, which helps prevent friction and wick away sweat, says Dr. Piliang. Baby Powder Since baby powders are good at absorbing moisture, they’re also helpful for preventing chafing. (Though you might want to go with a cornstarch-based product instead of one that contains talc.) And like petroleum jelly, baby powder can also be used on chafed skin to soothe the irritation. |
