    It's so nice to know I'm not the only one whose jeans wear out in the thigh area! I'm not bothered about having a thigh gap, but I'd be happy for that just not to happen! My inner thighs are getting slimmer so fingers crossed my new jeans last a bit longer! :smile:

    Ive never had thigh space, even when I was thin. I would love to know the feeling of thighs not touching :)
    Never made a hole, but the shorts always ride up and pants get fuzzy in the thigh area.

    This is why I have skorts rather than shorts... no one can see the shorts riding up because of the skirt.

    I don't have anything useful to say... But I wanted to reply simply because I had NO idea this was such a common problem.


    I want a thigh gap too.

    Kind of OT, but I have recently developed a crotch gap ^_^

    My thighs will probably always be big, though. I hope so.

    A few things:

    1. Better jeans. Anything with spandex is going to do that no matter what. I had a pair of Levis that lasted years before any significant wear occurred, where as any of the remotely stretchy ones go in months, if I wear them daily.

    2. Don't wear them daily. Or even weekly. Seriously, rotate.

    3. Don't wash them after every wearing, don't wash them in hot water, and dry them at a lower temp or air dry.

    4. THRIFT STORES. I buy my pants for about $6 a pair. Then you don't have to worry about care.

    A thigh gap isn't going to magically solve all your problems, nor is it actually healthy for everyone to have one. Some people get them naturally, but some people have to be severely underweight to develop one. And, really, clothes wear out. Maybe they'll wear a little slower in certain areas if your thighs don't rub together, but they're still going to wear out.

    The *kitten* of my jeans always wears out. No idea why. I mean, I sit on it, but not more than the average person.

    I go to Ross and get awesome pairs of jeans for $15-20 a pair. Screw paying retail.

    And, as someone said, thrift stores. Have found some awesome, brand new jeans for significantly less than they should be.

    That's when I will finally feel better about myself. When my thighs stop rubbing!

    The topic made me literally laugh out loud!

    And isn't it SO SAD when it's a pair that fit like someone had you in mind when they cut the dang things? I've had a mourning period over a pair before.

    Ditto what someone said waaaay back about buying a bunch of yoga pants. They wear out too, but they cost less, and are way more comfortable for day to day. Spend more on great jeans and wear them less often. :)

    Story of all my favorite jeans in the past.
  • OMG I was just talking about this last night with my niece. I so want a thigh gap. I'm working on it :)
  • oh my god, yes. i dont have a thigh gap, But this has never happened. But, shorts do that to me too. i give up with wearing shorts, i feel so insecure. I'm trying my best to get a thigh gap, but it's so difficult. i was born with huge legs. If i dont get skinny soon, i swear i will get a knife and cut all this fat off, i'm tired of it! nothing helps.

    My thighs touch when I walk and my jeans have never done that! I wonder why some people experience it and not others.

    I LOVE having a thigh gap....I like my body and my hips are wide enough so why not look good? Crap picture but it's all I have at the moment.... I look great in clothes, especially skinny jeans tucked in to boots, bikinis, sundresses...

    Buy jeans for shapely, athletic girls. There are manufacturers out there who make such jeans.

    Looks like this is an old thread, but I agree that you should try buying the curvy (usually boot cut) style jeans, in the correct size. I am a small women, and I will never have a thigh gap. My thighs are curvy and I embrace that.
