My husband is 30 next week and I really want to wear a nice dress( as I'm due to finish 30ds a couple of days before his party) my problem is my thighs still rub and it gets really sore. Normally I would wear leggings or tights but its quite warm here at the moment and i don't want to faint. Has anybody any ideas?

    My husband works construction and has this issue due to sweating.. and he isnt even a "fat" guy! He LOVES this new friction stick from gold bond. its likea stick deoderant and stays on a long time! Hope it helps! =)

    Spanx has a line for Target called "assets" and they have a really good mid-thigh "shaper". Its comfy and I actually use them every day when I wear dresses in the summer because I have, and always will have ''thigh rub"

    Bodyglide! It's an anti-chafe balm that looks like a stick of deodorant. I use it when I run and also on hot days when I'm wearing a dress.

    I wear bodyglide ALL THE DAMN TIME!! Whenever I wear shorts or skirts, it def goes on my inner thighs. That stuff is awesome!

    My best friend advised rubbing a little bio oil on there - helps with the chafing like you wouldn't BELIEVE, and, y'know, stretchmarks...

    Anyway, Bio Oil!

    The Gold Bond stick is great, Anti-Monkey Butt is awesome and Body Glide is best. All can be found at Walgreen's :) I wear spanks whenever I can, sometimes even when working out. Shhhh, don't tell. :laugh:

    a small container of baby powder in your purse can really help...but you may need to re-apply after a little while...

    Jockey just came up with under shorts that are very light (mixture of nylon, spandex, and cotton) and don't ride up. Sorry I can't remember the name but you can check their website.

    They came in white, beige, and black and are specially designed to be worn under dresses or short skirts. They are very comfortable and not too expensive (less than $30)

    Deodorant or any anti-chafing stick that is designed for runners.

    I have a pair of spandex running shorts that I wear under my skirts and dresses - works like a charm! Plus I don't have to worry about my daughter pulling my skirt up :)

    My hubby has skinny legs, but they rub up top. He uses Body Glide when he runs. I use Body Glide on my upper/under arm when I run because my iphone armband rubs my skin...totally works in both cases!

    I wear Spanx everyday of my life. They are the most amazing product ever! You will not have any rubbing, and you will get a nice smooth shape! Best of both worlds!

    thanks for all the replies I'll be trying some of them out over the next few days underneath my sun dresses and see which works best.
