Avoiding Chub Rub this Summer

Hey so if you're a person whose thighs touch when you walk and you want to wear skirts, shorts, or swimsuits this summer without chub rub this is the quick guide from a fat person who enjoys wearing skirts.

For those who don't know, Chub Rub is a painful burn that’s caused by friction, which generates when bare thighs rub together during walking and running and is exacerbated by heat and sweat.

There are two main ways to avoid Chub Rub, broadly speaking.

The first one is:

Physical Barriers work by keeping your thighs covered in fabric so they don't touch and chafe.

Bike Shorts -Pro: Comfortable, stretchy, has pockets. Perfect if your skirt is longer than your shorts and not sheer. Super good in the winter. -Cons: Hot, almost never come in neutral or skin tones, so they’ll show up under anything sheer.

Bandelettes- Thigh bands that stay in place with a silicone strip. They can be cute, like garter belts, or simple. -Pros: Comfortable. Can be sexy, More discreet than shorts, Excellent choice if you want an exposed midriff. They stay in place all day. Easier bathroom access then shapewear or bike shorts. -Cons: No pockets. May not be wide enough to be effective for extra good thighs. Silicone bands that hold them in place can pull hairs and be painful.

Shapewear -Pros: Almost always come in skin tones. Shape the booty, slide really well. Cooler than bike shorts. -Cons: Extra difficult bathroom access, often high waisted and long so they don’t work well with short skirts. rarely have pockets.

The big con to this category is that you're limited in how short your skirt can be since for the shorts and bandelettes to work they need to be long enough to cover all parts of your thighs that touch when you walk. Depending on the shape of your legs, thighs, and your gait that could mean your shorts are pretty long. For me, I'd need my shorts to be almost knee length to be effective.

Knee length shorts under mini skirts aren't for me. Which is where the second category comes in!

The title says it all. These are various kinds of gels and stuff that you apply directly to your thighs to keep they sliding smoothly past one another without chafing.

The big pro of this category is that all the products are Invisible so they work with every fit, no matter the size of the thighs! They’re even useful when wearing swim suits. Just remember to reapply after you get out of the water. The cons are that some formulas can cause breakouts, and most will need to be reapplied several times throughout the day so you’ll have to carry it around with you. None of these specific brands gave me breakouts, but my skin is not your skin.

There are other anti chafing gels and creams and sticks out there, but these are ones I've tried and like very much.

Monistat anti chafing gel Lasts: 3-5 hours Invisible, cooling, feels great on the skin. Works even through high heat and sweat. I’m sensitive to textures and the powder-like feel of this stuff when it’s dry is amazing. I'm not sure if it's "waterproof" but I sweat in my thigh area a lot and this stuff really sticks it out like a dream. It lasts far longer then I do between bathroom breaks so I just reapply it each time I use the bathroom and let it dry on my thighs for a minute.

Megababe Thigh Rescue Lotion Anti-Chafe Stick Lasts: 3 hours The deodorant stick makes application easy and fast, It goes on smooth and feels fine! Comes in a mini version that makes it easy to keep on your person and reapply through the day. The big con is that this stuff melts kind easy on hot days. which makes a mess in your bag or pocket. It doesn’t do great with sweat and will need to be reapplied more often. It's unscented.

Skin Slick spray Lasts: 4-5 hours. This comes in an aerosol can so it’s not an option if you’re flying. Outside of that, it’s great. Feels nice and keeps your thighs cool. Goes on fast and easy, works well even when you’re sweating because it’s designed for sports. The best option for beach days.

To finish this post off here are some commonly suggested chub rub hacks i don't recommend and why. Deodorant- ineffective and if you use the wrong kind, it can actually make it worse. Baby Powder: Okay so this a mixed bag. Over all, it does work pretty well for a short time. And who can deny that there isn't much that feels better then a healthy sprinkle of baby powder down your shorts on a sweaty day. It soaks up your sweat and makes you feel cool and dry. The problem is that it doesn't work for very long before needing to be reapplied, by which time the previously applied powder is clumping. Not to mention it leaves white powder all over the place. I'll be honest, I often put this stuff in my bag when I'm going to be outside all day in the hot sun. At pride, summer festivals, hikes, camping, fairs, I always have it with me just in case. But I have to be a little desperate to bust it out because it makes such a mess and smells so strongly. It's a last resort.

The Chub Rub Patch- This is the absolute worst thing I've ever tried for chub rub. It's essentially a large band aid with no pad that you stick on your inner thighs. Throughout the day, the edges of these patches kept getting caught on one another and starting to peel and stick to my other thighs which gave me worse chub rub then if i had used nothing. I thought maybe I applied them wrong, so I tried them again the next day, this time taking care to make sure my thighs were clean and dry before applying. Same thing happened. And they hurt to take off. Like a band aid. They're single use, and pretty expensive. They come in one size, so they won't work for a lot of bigger thighs. These suck. They're ugly as fuck too. Do not use these things.

Body/baby oil- This is a very effective way to fry up your thighs. After a day of walking around you're thighs will look just like fried chicken.

Body Lotion- a move i've only ever seen attempted out of real desperation. This is a bad idea. The lotion rubs in so fast that you won't get ten steps before needing more. If you're chub rub is bad enough that you're trying this hack, it's time to find a pharmacy and get some Monistat anti chafing gel. I once saw a woman at a pride tie two trash bags around her thighs and it worked better then lotion.

Happy Summer Everyone! And don't forget sunscreen! Especially if you have dark skin because dark skinned people are significantly more likely to die of skin cancer in the USA and Europe then light skinned people. Even if you don't think you'll burn that day, you're still being irradiated by the sun!

In case you haven’t seen it yet Sarcastic Chorus made a pretty good video analyzing Stolitz and the ending of the latest episode. I think it summarizes some points pretty well that we’ve been talking about for a while

[bame-the-3d]

[bame-the-3d]

Btw I’m still not over how this episode was basically just

Stolas: WoW that was really messed up how I treated you

Blitz: Yeah that honestly was pretty messed up

Stolas: …

Stolas: How dare you say something like that to me! My poor feelings!

[bame-the-3d]

Stolas Blitz relationship in a nutshell:

Stolas: Gets a crush on Blitz when he was a kid. (Already stupid)

Blitz: Gets sold off to Stolas as a child to play with him. (What the fuck, how is that supposed to be cute-)

Blitz: Went to Stolas to get the book only when he’s grown.

Stolas: Already entertains the idea to have sex with Blitz before they even get to the bedroom. Starts flirting when they get to the bedroom. (That’s not having a crush Stolas, that’s you being a disgusting horn dog.)

Blitz: Flirts back, but it’s to distract Stolas.

Stolas: Gets super horny. (Ew ew ew)

Blitz: He’s about to get away but Stolas is horny and wants Blitz to do it with him. Guilt trips him into pity sex.

Stolas: I don’t know when he finds out, but Stolas holds the book over Blitz’s head for sex.

Blitz: Now literally fucked so he does it with Stolas every month begrudgingly. (WOW so romantic 🙄)

Stolas: Catches feelings for Blitz- but wait, how would that be if he already has feelings for Blitz since childhood? 🤨 Stolas feels like he wants more with Blitz and he goes on a very awkward date. Also his marriage got destroyed.

Blitz: He’s not entertaining Stolas at the date, because he knows it’s not going anywhere. (I would act the same way tbh.)

Stolas: Getting butthurt the whole date. (Womp womp. 🙄)

Stolas: Wants Blitz to cuddle with him and do romantic things with Blitz, but fails to recognize that Blitz isn’t interested. (Are you sure he’s an owl?)

Blitz: Finally tells Stolas that he knows Stolas only wants to fuck him and its been that way the entire time. (Again, I don’t blame Blitz for being this cynical. 🤨)

Stolas: Has a tamper tantrum and an emo song about being imprisoned in his shitty marriage or whatever. (WOMP WOMP WOMP! 🙄)

Blitz: Continues to have an awkward flirting exchange with Stolas like nothing happened. 🤨

Stolas: Gets hurt by Striker to force sympathy but I don’t care. 💀

Blitz: “He can get hurt bro?” 😳 (BLITZ PLEASE SHOOT HIM!!)

Stolas: He has ANOTHER emo song about Blitz but he’s like: “PLEASE BLITZ- LOOK MY WAY!! 😩”

Stolas: Gets emo with the crystal. “I WANT US to be TOGETHER~ but when you want to.” (Oh how swell you are Stolas. 🙄)

Blitz: Roasts Stolas because Stolas has been a peice of shit the entire time and Stolas deserves to be chewed out for it.

Stolas: “MM- I didn’t know you think that lowly of me. 🥲” (OH MY GOD FUCKING DIE STOLAS- FUCK OFF YOU MANIPULATIVE CUNT?? 💀💀)

And then the ending was framed like Blitz fucked up????? Like no he was actually entirely reasonable

[bame-the-3d]

I think viv should do everyone a favor and simply have her shows NOT feature concepts that she has no understanding of

Classism,especially

[bame-the-3d]

„I think so highly of you, I didn’t realize you thought so low of me“

Oh my god SHUT UP

An older comic about appreciating snakes.

[bame-the-3d]

At some point in your life, you were taught that being slightly annoying is an unforgivable sin. Maybe it was by your parents or a teacher or a friend or a bully or an older sibling. But someone taught you that being slightly annoying is a crime punishable by death.

You must unlearn this.

You must accept that all people will be annoying at some point or another in their lives, maybe all of their lives, and that this is okay. It is okay for strangers on the bus, it is okay for children in the grocery store, it is okay for people on social media, and it is okay for you.

If you ever want to truly love your fellow humans, if you ever want to truly love yourself, you must have forgiveness for being annoying.

To be fair dread is a pretty good way to summarize the entire show, so at least the trailer succeeds in that department 

Yknow, trailers are supposed to fill you with hype and excitement for what’s to come. But this trailer did nothing but allude to misery, characters fighting, abusive people taking the moral high ground, being sad, complaining, and hating eachother.

It looks like dread.
