    Seriously, Bandelettes. Unlike shorts they don't add an extra layer when what you want is as few layers as possible.

    Probably a silly question, but are those like thigh-high stockings? Or just a lacy band around the thigh with the leg bare?

    Just a band. You have to make sure not to use any moisturiser/lotion where you'll be wearing them or they will slip and roll. I would put them on and then just lotion/sunscreen around them. And as long as I wasn't trying to wear them too close to my butt cheek no rolling, you need to play around with the positioning to get them right for you.

    Do they have that rubber stuff like hold ups do? I could never keep them up.

    I swear by the shorts Uniqlo have, very light, not compressing and easy to wash. I don't think I'll ever slim my way out of rubbing even when I was a teenager it was a problem.

    They do have the rubber but for whatever reason it is nothing like stocking hold ups in its roll factor. I have never gotten up with hold up stockings either but these have always been perfect. Obviously they do stretch and lose their ability after a few wears but otherwise I never had an issue in the Florida heat with them.

    I'll have to investigate, I do struggle with anything that comes in pairs however...

    I didn't have a problem with chub rub this summer after losing 16lb, but in previous years I bought cheap supermarket tights and cut them off at the knees to make shorts like the ones above. Did the trick!

    I totally did this before Bandelettes too.

    I used to have it but now it went away when I toned up my thighs. It will get better.

    At my heaviest, my thighs rubbed and got rashy in the heat. At my lowest weight (and goal I WILL return to) my thighs weren't even close to each other. 24 lbs from my goal... my thighs sometimes bump each other if I'm in a tight skirt, but that's it.
