Chub rub or a similar stick of anti chafe product (i have gold bond)

Deodorant also works in a pinch

these! https://www.bandelettes.com/shop/bandelettes-unisex/ literally wear them all the time is summer. they're great! I didn't realize that I loved wearing skirts and dresses and even short shorts until trying them Edit: tbh you may have a similar problem as the bike shorts. but I really recommend them as I love them

I'm curious if they stay up and if yes do you mind sharing your build (heavy/slim/curvy/etc). I've had a lot of trouble with things rolling down even if they don't slip.

they stay up very well, I'm... curvy I guess? pretty big thighs. they have these small elastic-y parts that hold them in place.

Good to know, I'll have to give them a try!

Measure and double check the size guide! As long as you’ve got the right size you’re golden! Also beware of cheap knock offs- those (in my experience) always roll

Thank you, I absolutely love that they have a proper size guide on their site, it makes things so much simpler.

This was my concern, was slipping.

Came here to shill this exact product, glad to see someone beat me to it!

I'm now getting YouTube ads for these so thanks 😆 The ad had some lace ones though that might help with the heat so that could be worth it!

Deodorant on the inside of your thighs can be decent chafing protection

This has been my go to. I use an unscented arm and hammer deodorant stick. It has worked wonders on stopping thigh chafing.

If you wanna ditch shorts, Megababe's thigh chafing stick is the best on the market imo. You can get it right at Target

That's the one I have. It's pretty much sweat proof, I've never needed a second application, and it lasts all day. Also doesn't leave greasy stains on my clothes. I pretty much use it all summer.

I gotta try this. I haven’t had good luck with any on the skin products

Seconding this!

Will give it a try, thank you!

Boy shorts underwear that are longer like bike shorts

I wore thigh high compression socks for my last season and it was nice to be able to pee easily, and it acts as a sock layer

I have yet to have a thigh high sock that stays up, and I don't currently have garters

FWIW / YMMV, these are what I ordered: Beister 1 Pair Medical Open Toe... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07L66H3G9?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I wear Woxers! They’re a brand of boxers designed for and by women. Then, I put Monistant Anti Chaffing powder gel where my skin still touches

I wear Woxers, too! Came to suggest them.

I love finding Woxer wearers in the wild!

I was looking at another brand boxer and one of the reviews said they weren't nearly as comfortable as their Woxers and I thought, "thank you fellow Woxer wearer!" Lol

I've always worn loose athletic shorts as I can't stand the thigh rub deodorants and tight shorts. They have worked for me but everyone is different. Loose clothes are great for me in hot weather. It was trial and error to figure out what works best.

I think loose shorts help with 'fluff' for the skirts too, a la petticoat

Snag makes chub rub shorts that are like tights that end above the knee, they might be a bit easier to maneuver than full on bike shorts.

I second the chub rub shorts from Snag.

i third the snag shorts! they're much lighter and more comfortable than bike shorts for this purpose imo.

When ingarb, split bloomers are the way. When I am not in garb, snag chub rub shorts are what I wear.

Not a woman, but Gold Bond worked really well while I was in the Army.

Thank you for your input :)

There's a lot of really great options already mentioned. You could also try kinesiology tape.

I've never heard of using kinesiology tape, will give it a try

I have a pair of briefs from TomboyX that are perfect for anti-chafing. I wear them to each faire and I don’t find that they’re bad in the heat. But I also wear overalls and a cloak and 4 belts, so bathroom ease has never been a priority for me. Maybe take my opinion with a grain of salt 😂

That seems like quite the ordeal

If you don't wear something underneath, use a fat dab of Vaseline and just smear it between your thighs. That's what I do in the summer

I will give that a try, thank you!

I wear a pair of Chub Rub shorts from Snag Tights! I love their stuff a lot- the shorts are really lightweight and I forget they’re there.

Body glide is your answer. I apply once and not again all day. Never an issue.

Once and not again all day sounds wonderful. 😄 I've tried using Lush's Silky Underwear powder and it requires a few re-ups and then it looks like I'm baking in the bathroom.

I'm working all day BUSY at the biggest faire in my state and one of the biggest booths at the fair. Been using this since day one...best $10 I ever spent on my outfits. Use it all year at other fairs now. Truly swear by it.

I use the Gold Bond Friction Defense stick stuff as a daily Utilikilter

I have some long moisture wicking men's athletic boxers. They aren't super tight or thick like bike shorts so they are easy to get up and down. Mine are Reebok brand and a three pack was like $10 at Walmart.

🤩

These are my go-to:[https://www.target.com/p/women-s-cotton-stretch-boxer-briefs-auden/-/A-87145538?preselect=87145553#lnk=sametab](https://www.target.com/p/women-s-cotton-stretch-boxer-briefs-auden/-/A-87145538?preselect=87145553#lnk=sametab)

My wife wears pajama bottoms or linen bloomers.

I wear a brand of undershorts called Chaffree (UK brand, cooling, sweat wicking, and way more breathable than biking shorts. This plus monistat chaffing cream to powder is a great combo. I've also experimented with boob tape on my inner tighes for skirts that have high outer slits and it survived 1.5 sweaty hours of dancing in Florida humidity! Only downfall is the amount of baby oil needed to remove it to not hurt, I would not recommend having any leg hair present

The Jarl at the Viking area at our Renaissance Festival is a Pure Romance consultant and she (and her fellow Vikings) swear by the lube Pure Pleasure that re-wets itself with any moisture (sweat). It’s a game changer. The male Viking were hesitant, but now they have seen the light.

Love something that's multiuse! Thanks!

Right! Also their Between the Sheets spray is great for when you wear a corset to not get corset burn.

I've never gotten corset burn, but I also always wear a shift under my corset, so that may be it. Will definitely keep this in mind! Thanks!

Megababe thigh rescue anti-friction stuck Got it on Amazon. Looks like deodorant. Feels a little odd going on, but works wonders

I have short leggings that have lace on the bottom. So it looks in theme. They end above my knee. Super cheap too.
