Curvy gals ... Have you noticed your thighs?

not for me it hasnt' but then again i lost 75lbs so everything hangs!

I have the same problem so I always where capri's or long pants. As I have lost weight my thighs are slowly (VERY slowly) but surely getting thinner.

bump good question

They do make anti chafe stuff (body glide anti chafe)...comes in a deodorant type stick. I had to get some for DH when he was in AIT because his shirts were rubbing his nipples raw (he tried everything). I would say try wearing spandex shorts under your other shorts (if your not comfortable with wearing just spandex.). It will stop your skin from rubbing against itself.

I get it, ugh it is so embarrassing. Especially when I wear out the inner thighs on my jeans. So sad. I have finally just started to notice that I can stand with my legs about shoulder width apart and see daylight between them! YAHOO! Lots of leg work for me, balance, squats, running, etc, is finally starting to pay off.

I always wear pants in the gym because I hate my knees in shorts (I know, a weird thing to hate, but the fat just accumulates there and its gross) BUT when I am having a problem with the chaffing I use either baby powder, gold bond, or actually a weird trick is I use conditioner on my inner thighs in the shower and that keeps things under control.

I'm so happy I'm not the only one who experiences this! Its annoying. But I use just plain old vaseline patroleum jelly

I have this issue too, and swear by Monistate anti-chafing stuff (gel? cream?). It's silicone based, and really works. You can find it with the usual Monistat products, even though it has nothing to do with all of that! :blushing:

I have been doing weight lifting - strengthening exercises and after just one month I lost an inch in each thigh! I do upper body and abs one day, lower body and abs the next for 5 days a week for 30 - 40 minutes depending on the dvd. I only lost maybe 4-5 pounds so I KNOW it is the exercising! I will always have thunder thighs, but they are smaller now and only rub at the very top! I walk 45 minutes to an hour a day and mix it with easy bike riding for the same amount of time. I know that as I continue to lose weight - 25 pounds to go I will no longer have that problem! Hang in there. Think of the extra spandex you have to wear as penance for letting yourself go and KNOW that following through will get you the best body you can have!! Hang in there and take measurements so you can see your good progress! Good luck!! = D

I wear bike shorts and you can wear them under a running skirt or shorts

just make sure they are long enough ones to cover the area that rubs.. becuase they do make some SHORT ones that do me NO good- especially when running 5 miles

good luck !

I have that problem! but the sad part is that it only irritates me when im wearing skirts and NOT working out! lol. but then again, i always wear big shirts and tights to work out it. maybe you should try that!

I've had holes rubbed through old jeans before becasue of this problem

I' have noticed a difference though! And I don't really wear shorts much, can't help ya there...

I had to throw away my favorite pair of jean because of that... depressing. =[

Oh man! Yeah I have knock knees too so does that mean that I am destined to thigh chaffing forever??? My thighs aren't particularly big, I have 20lb to lose but I hate summer as I want to wear cute dresses but walking is very uncomfortable :-(

Yup - Chub Rub!

Try Body Glide for women or Monkey Butt powder. Will help a lot - and are both products made just for this issue.

+1 on the Body Glide. Other products I heard used are "Udderly Smooth", "Bag Balm", etc. Body Glide is the Best, but the most expensive & it lasts longer than all the items mentioned on here so far even through hours of sweat!. Can be found at most Athletic stores, Running stores, & REI.
