I’m new to the Thick Thighs Coalition (TTC) and formerly president of Team Thigh Gap (TTG). I’ve been working out a lot and doing a pretty intense bootcamp 3 days a week. While my waist is coming down, these thighs aren’t going anywhere. I had no problem with it, until my first experience with chaffing thighs happened this week, and I immediately knew that I needed help. I had heard of friends just wearing biker shorts, but to be honest, I don’t want to do that this summer. I want to feel as free and comfortable as possible.
I didn’t need years of struggling to try and find a solution. It only took me 15 minutes, literally, and I was on Instagramasking TTC veterans for help. It was like I posted a bat signal, and the suggestions came rolling in! I posted on my stories the list that I had come up with via the suggestions and it was a hit! So I thought I would park it here on the blog for future reference.
Please note I have not had the pleasure of trying these yet, but all that are posted come highly recommended from TTC and have been suggested by multiple people.
SILKY UNDERWEAR BY LUSH
When you want to feel smooth, dry and lovely, sprinkle some of this sexy jasmine and vetiver-scented powder all over.
