chub rub aka thigh gap

My thighs always touch when I walk. They will never not touch. Thigh gap is not a measure of thinness or attractiveness.

Try using powder or even deodorant between your thighs to stop the chaffing. Also there is a product runners use, I can't remember the name of it....it makes your thighs "glide" instead of sticking together. (I now see the Body Glide was mentioned!).

Just tried this out. With my feet together, my thighs touch. Male with 11% bf. I don't experience chafing, and I don't typically stand with my feet together either. Not sure the feet together thing is particularly useful or informative.

this has to be one of the best topics I've seen in a while. :laugh: mine have always touched. started doing inner thigh exercises more often to build the muscle. I wear jogging pants when I run.....it's hot in the summer but id rather sweat a little more then sleep like a starfish!!

I haven't had a thigh gap at any stage in my adult life (nor any chaffing) and until stumbling on this thread I didn't know it was something folks care about.

Personally I quite like the delicate soft fleshiness of my inner thighs....so reckon I'll keep it.

Luv when my thighs rub! Specially on leg days.

I'm sure for some women this is the cause of much stress. Let me tell you all...from a guy's prospective. If you have a decent shape and carry yourself well - thick to lean - we will take notice. All of you just keep up the good work, and gap or no gap, your confidence (which you need to achieve your mfp goals) and hard work will be the most attractive things you bring to the table.

I used to have a wide thigh gap when I was skinny--it disappeared somewhere around the 165-170 lb mark. Now that I've got down to 150ish, it's reappeared, though smaller. I'm 5'7".

I'm sorry to say I've never had thigh gap, even at my slimest. So it just depends on your build. But it's ok, just as long as there is no chafing. I'm only 5 feet tall so from my heaviest at 168 to my lowest at 114. No, never had a gap. Though there is a difference between weight, chafing when heavy and no chafing when thinner. Hope this helps.

Yeaaah i have that problem i use baby powder

I was at around 136lbs when the gap started to appear, I am now at 128 lb. It is not a big gap, but i can see daylight through it I am 5'1"

I have a chub that could use a rub

Thigh gap again...

If you don't already have one hidden under body fat you might never see one. With pregnancy a wider pelvis might slightly increase your Q angle, but other than that there's not much you can do to change your skeletal structure.

Besides, the larger the Q angle the more prone you are to knee pain, ACL tears, pronated ankles, fallen arches and so on. A narrower angle can be a great advantage in athletic performance.

*editing to add it's also your femoral neck angle, and it's insertion.

One of my fav post... Love to read the answers make me feel better about mines forever touching...GAH GAH GAH

My thighs have ALWAYS rubbed together. Looking at the me from the waist up, you would think I was tiny, but I carry all my weight in my hips and thighs. When I run, I cannot wear shorts...and in this 100 + degree Alabama weather, it sucks!

I feel your pain.

Body Glide is your friend in this.
