But this is the "condition" where your thighs rub together to cause a friction and a pain that is eye watering at times. I don't know if this year was worse than ever because of the pregnancy, because of my cycling thighs, or because it is hot AF in Toronto this summer. Probs all 3.
Anyway, yes, I tried powder, deodorant, cycling chafing cream, and even runners Glide, but none really last at all. I couldn't wear shorts underneath skirts or dresses, because none of those fit either. And then hellogiggles pointed me in the direction of Bandlettes. Basically a fabric band that you wear around your thighs so there is no skin-to-skin action.

So these are pretty great. They prevent skin on skin rubbing, and dont add the extra layers of fabric for when its really hot out. I did find after awhile they got a bit itchy, but if you just use them to get to where you're going without skin loss, they're great!
