Defeating chub rub/chafing under a ball gown

Some sort of spandex shorts

I have found quality deodorant works really well. I plan to reapply between ceremony and reception and at least once during reception just in case!

There was a thread about this earlier today with a bunch of good suggestions

Oceankissed- what's the brand of the deodorant? I have really sensitive skin so I have broken out before from using deodorant too. I try not to do it often.

Blair- thanks! I was thinking that but they may roll up a lot. I have spandex shorts and they either end up as "coochie cutters" or just roll completely up my thighs

CMC, I didn't even see it. Let me search for it. I usually do search for things before I post but I was being lazy.

BODY GLIDE

Body Glide is your answer! I have several friends who swear by this product for chafing and chub rub. You can pick it up at Target or Walmart. I would suggest trying it out. Its a life saver!

Definitely search for it! I just wore Spanx under my dress but there were a bunch of good tips in that thread

CBA, thanks! I'm definitely going to look into it that! I just saw it on another post like this.

I have found only two things that work for my chub rub, and I totally feel you - it is awful.

Monistat Anti-Chafing gel: GAME CHANGER for a product to apply.

I also tried Bandelettes as well, and those are great as long as you buy the right size. Mine are slightly too large and sometimes slide, but have been a life saver for summer weddings. I have them in black and nude. They look like lace, almost like the top of a thigh high.

I tried deodorant, body glide, gold bond, baby powder, all of that stuff, no avail. Hope that one of those helps for you as much as they have for me!

CMC- thank you I found that post. I'm going to look up the suggestions they gave the other poster.

Grace I have briefly heard of bandlettes a while back and couldn't remember the name, so I am going to search for them and try them out.

I second Body Glide!!! That thing was my holy grail for several full summers of being heavily active. It works SO well, and I swear by it. It's like $10 and lasts a long time!

Chub rub, I love that! I just call it chaffing. I'm weird and actually buy the boxers that are longer. Can't quite think of the name atm. Extra long briefs?? Anyway, I have to wear skirts at work all the time and boxers save my thighs. Definitely go more towards briefs or whatever ones that hug your legs because regular boxers ride up.

The unit I work in as a nurse has this stuff called Cavilon! I saw it on Amazon, it is a waterproof barrier spray that is clear and thin! I have put it on my hand before and you can tell there is a barrier, I think this might work! It comes in little one time use pads or a spray bottle

Try the Monistat Anti-Chafing Gel Powder. It looks like gel but feels like powder when you apply it!! It's like using powder without the mess. Not greasy or oily at all. Buying a tube of this is cheaper (and less constricting) than spanx. Hope you find something that works for you because nobody likes the unplesant rubbing.

I second the Monistat anti-chafing gel. I buy it on Amazon because I can't always find it in the store.

Omg this made my night, I'm laughing so hard im almost in tears only because I know the pain sooooo well. I am worried about evil chub rub on our honeymoon! Water and thick thighs don't mix!

Have you tried body glide? Runners use it to prevent chafing, and it holds up through sweat and doesn't stain clothes. I use it on my arms where my sports bra meets my armpits because I always chafe there and it's magic

Yep, the Monistat anti-chafing gel is a life changer!

I use baby powder
