| I dont have a thigh gap, I'm afraid, but I am definitely not fat. I recently had laser hair removal and it has changed my style - i always got horrid razor burn so only waxed, which meant I almost never wore skirts. Now my summer staples are black skirts - so much cooler than pants. Except, I recently developed an itchy rash that seems like heat rash where my thighs touch. I'm guessing its just from sweating and rubbing. Ayone else have this, and any suggestions? |

| Buy the foot glide they sell for runners. Band Aid makes one which you can find at CVS. Put it on your inner thighs. Bingo! |

| Yes, the same thing happens to me. Monistat makes an anti-chafing gel for this purpose (and I learned from DCUM that it moonlights as a makeup primer). Body Glide is another product, aimed towards runners, that reduces friction between thighs. I use petroleum jelly because it's inexpensive, even though it is a little greasy. Totally worth it because, yes, it is so much cooler. I also find that my thighs build up resistance as the summer wears on. |

| Buy yourself some spanx-like shaping underwear (they look like biker shorts). They're sold in the lingerie dept of most stores, even target . |

| Wow thanks, who knew about Runner Glide? I figured this was a lymphatic problem and started a cleanse. It's a horrid sensation!! |

| I just started having this problem at 30 wks pregnant (my hips are so wide that my thighs never touched prior to that) and lightweight Spanx have been a great solution. Highly recommend getting a few pairs. |

My friend turned me on to this after she found it in her google search for "chub rub." So I solved a problem AND learned the name for it on the same day. Exciting stuff! The only person I know who doesn't have this problem is my semi-anorexic 6 year old. |
