CHUB RUB
It’s a problem we’ve all experienced, but probably never as much as this sweltering summer – it doesn’t matter what size or shape you are – when we sweat, we sweat. And for many of us, when that happens our thighs start to chaff. The recent heatwave in the UK has left women from all over suffering with ‘chub rub’ – with many taking to social media to complain about their sticky situations.
You could squat forever, separating your thighs, and still suffer from this hideous side effect of heat. Even with the much sought after thigh gap – your thighs will rub together.
Online fashion store, PrettyLittleThing is selling anti-chafing bands for £8 – and they promise to solve your ‘style over comfort’ dilemmas. But beware – they’re not pretty in the slightest.
The black stretchy bands should be worn around the top of your legs. They form a slinky layer that stops the skin on your inner thighs rubbing while you walk. Why they’ve chosen black, instead of neutral “flesh coloured”, is beyond me.
The bands come in sizes L – XXXL and are the perfect fit for curvier women who want to avoid the painful red rash that can develop in the heat.
The fashion brand – which is apparently a favourite with Kourtney Kardashian and Kylie Jenner – claim that these genius bands will help solve those ‘red raw rashes’ – and it seems whatever the Kardashians do, other mere mortals follow.
My only concern is that they fall down as we walk. The embarrassment would be worse than any chub rub could muster.
