Creative solutions to quash an all-too-common and all-too-persistent issue
Tips for thighs of all kinds. Photo: Heritage Images/Getty Images Thigh chafe, often known as “chub rub,” can cause scorching pain that shouldn’t be underestimated — for some it’s an uncomfortable friction, for others it can even literally sting or turn into a wound. “Thigh chafing is one of those things that everyone’s embarrassed to talk about, which I get — humans are generally embarrassing,” says Amelia Diamond, head of creative at Man Repeller.
Megababe Thigh Rescue A similar situation actually prompted Sturino to create Megababe, after she got fed up with resorting to other products to save her thighs. “Two summers ago, I pulled out my Gold Bond stick for the hundredth time and was like, Why are there no options out there for girls?” she says.
$10 at Amazon Buy $10 at Amazon Buy Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant Lotion It’s a less specialized, not-as-portable way to tackle the problem, but Joshua Zeichner, dermatologist at Mount Sinai, recommends something as simple as a lotion with skin-protecting ingredients like triple-purified petrolatum. This basic one from Vaseline will do the trick. “Enriched with cocoa butter, it can help hydrate and repair dry, cracked skin,” he says.
$19 at Amazon Buy $19 at Amazon Buy Anti-chafe shorts Thigh Society Ultra High Rise Shorts Diamond offers a couple useful parameters when opting for shorts over a glide-on product: “They can’t be too tight because then you’re just giving yourself a whole new set of problems, and they can’t be too hot for obvious reasons, and they can’t be too long or else you’ll see them under the hem of your skirt.” She wears and recommends Thigh Society’s anti-chafing slip shorts.
$36 at Knix Buy Anti-chafe compression shorts Spanx Power Conceal-Her Mid Thigh Shaping Shorts “Truth be told, wearing dresses in the summer is a relatively new thing for me,” Schallon says. “For years, I wore jeans year-round because dealing with unappealing products was too painful.
$18 at Nordstrom Buy Skorts Outdoor Voices Court Skort For a one-piece solution that’s great for sweltering weather, try a skort. Outdoor Voices released a line of them not too long ago, all of which are crafted from the activewear brand’s signature texture compression fabric. From personal experience, this garment is a true savior: It performs well in workouts or on ultrahumid days, and stylishly and stealthily quells thigh chafe.
