Okay.. I have been struggling with this problem for like.... ever... lol
I am a pear shaped person; smaller on the waist and up but huge and gigantic on my thighs and butt (fugly). I stopped wearing skirts long time ago because my thighs will rub together and cause pain and blisters. even wearing shorts look so awful. :sad:
and I've seen... (no offence to anyone) bigger girls here in my country that they wear skirts??!! how do they do it? i have no idea.. i couldn't actually go up to them and ask them. lol that'll get a slap on the face.
So any... advice? :frown:

I am thinking about using baby powder though... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm0 -
If you're working out, use baby oil. Apply it to the parts that chaff and you should be good. If you're looking to stay dry, baby powder is a cheapest and best bet.0

There's an anti-chaffing gel called Lanacane. It's a miracle worker and certainly beats wearing extra clothes in hot weather. I lived in Dubai for a year and Lanacane became my best friend0

I have this too!!!
Bodyglide is amazing..little expensive but so worth it!!! Only thing I have found that is non greasy and doesn't wreck my clothes0 -
I wear biker shorts some times, under my pants at work (I walk a TON at work) and also when I am using the treadmill0
-
Corn starch works well 2....In Panama people use 2 use it on babies cuz cheaper than baby powder!!0

I have the same issue. One of my goals is to have a refund gap. If I have to wear a skirt or dress I put baby powder on to stop chafing.0

Flour, works just as good. One boy in my class had chaffing under his arms while we were on camp and since we didn't have any powder we used flour. He said it worked and he wasn't in pain anymore.0
-
believe it or not a little bit of lubricant, like KY is good to keep you from chaffing. May sound silly, but it works.0

I use baby powder for mine0

Body Glide! I use it for running in shorts and when I wear dresses/shorts in the summer. You can find it at pretty any sporting goods store or a running store.0

monistat anti-chafing gel
That stuff is awesome. I learned about it when I read a tutorial where a girl used it for eye shadow primer. I bought some, and tried it for the primer suggestion, and it works great for that, and it also completely relieves any chafing when I wear short-shorts for running0 -
Rub some antiperspirant on your thighs.0

Oh yes! I heard about Monistat all the time! I just have to open my eyes bigger to see if they sell it here ~_~0 -
I wear thin silk bicycle shorts underneath skirts. The silk stays cool and dries quickly if you sweat. When I tried creams, gels, and powders they worked fine when it wasn't too hot but became sticky after sweating.0
