Chafing & Rubbing... or as some people like to call it... chub rub.
For some bigger people this is a problem that can really interfere with life. Now despite me not being what I consider seriously large (this time around I have been overweight rather than obese - for what it's worth as it's all made up by human beings anyway!), because my thighs are a problem area, the above mentioned embarrassing issue has been a problemo for me. Yet the strange thing - well I think it's strange - about rubbing and chafing is that some people are a lot bigger than me and don't have that issue at all.
Chafing and rubbing of the inner thigh - yes lovely image there for you - is so problematic in the summer months. It precludes all wearing of skirts and dresses. There are specialist products you can buy to alleviate the issue:

Other people suggest trying vaseline or baby powder.
I also have it on good authority that long legged undwear helps:
The thing is, for me, the skin sensation of having two bare legs touching each other was too much. I think it's something to do with my health problems... it set my nerves/teeth on edge. So for some considerable time, I have had to adhere to a 'no skirts or dresses' policy during the warmer months.
I can't wait for this to not be an issue... roll on skirts and dresses!!
