The Trick That Will Keep Your Thighs From Chafing
The following post was originally featured on Fit Bottomed Girls, a blog created by Erin and Jenn W., who are part of POPSUGAR Select Fitness.
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?
