Daysha also tried and liked these!
Promising review: "These are fantastic! I work overnights and wear dresses regularly to the office, I've been using the deodorant style anti-chafing rubs and wanted a longer lasting option. Ding Ding ladies!! This is it! So comfortable I fell asleep in them! No marks, no uncomfortable "digging in."
I did measure my thigh to get an accurate size rather than guessing, but it is definitely true to that measurement. And they do take some fine tuning to make sure that they don't roll, but once you find that spot, they don't move!! I got the lacy ones and they are sexy and soft to the touch with the silicone on the top and bottom. Highly recommended!!!" —A. Spencer
Get them on Amazon for $16.95+ (8 colors, some available both in lace or a regular, "solid" fabric.)
It's safe to use anywhere skin rubs against skin or clothing, and is also paraben-free.
Promising reviews: "Took this to Disney World, used this on my feet and toes before putting on socks and sneakers. Did not get any blisters! My husband did not, and he got blisters his first day. Should have used Chamois Butt'r! It doesn't smell, it goes on easily and absorbs very well. I use it sometimes on the inside of my thighs too. Highly recommend it." —Brandie Booth
"Oh man the praise I have for this stuff, I'll even overlook the smell just because it works so well. My butt cheeks have never been happier since i started using this magic lotion. Before this, I could start a fire with the friction going on between my thighs. If you're active and don't have a 'thigh-gap' this stuff is amazing." —David

Promising reviews: "Great for the price. I was looking for something to wear under summer skirts and dresses. If you're blessed with larger thighs, it's a great (and inexpensive) solution to the inner thigh contact issue bigger girls face in the summer. Bought a pair in white and liked them so much I ordered in both black and oatmeal (a darker beige). The fabric is lightweight and breathable." —M. Boyd
"I’m a second grade teacher and we sit on the floor plus my thighs rub and get irritated. These shorts feel comfortable and work for what I wanted. They are thin enough to not be noticeable when wearing dresses but not too thin. Just right." —Michelle
Get a pair from Amazon for $12.50+ (sizes S–XXXL, nine colors).
Promising review: "This stuff saved my beach vacation. My son always gets nasty chafe and rub rash from playing in the water and then running around in his wet shorts. Usually half way through the day he's ready to go because it stings so bad. We put this on his inner thighs every day before we went to the beach and never even had pinkish skin, never mind a rash!! It's very dry, non greasy and goes on smooth and colorless just like a deodorant with no scent either. It's absolutely a lifesaver!!!" —C. Millin
Get it on Amazon for $7.99.
This one's also water- and sweat-proof.
Promising review: "I am a plus-size woman and like to wear skirts and dresses to stay cool. The problem is, my thighs rub and cause chaffing. I've tried slip shorts, but have wanted to avoid another layer of clothing, so I tried Sport Shield. It goes on super smooth and feels great. I was really nervous that it would leave stains/wet marks on my clothing, but it didn't. It lasts about 3-4 hours before I need to reapply, so I typically tuck the bottle in my purse just in case." —This Happy Homeschool

Promising review: "I have gained quite a bit of weight this pregnancy and the chub rub is real and painful. I had a conference coming up and really needed something since I couldn’t get away with tights anymore. I can’t tell you how wonderful these are. They are long enough to prevent any contact but still short enough to be hidden under a near knee length–dress. I can comfortably wear my maternity dresses and do not worry about having to walk too much, they simply do the trick. I highly recommend." —Slinky Girl
Get them from Amazon for $36.50 (two colors).
Promising review: "This changed my life. I had a BIG problem with chafing underneath the lower band of my bra. I live down south, and the hot and humid summers used to make me miserable. I just apply a little of this product before putting my bra on and no more chafing. It's wonderful." —Eleta K. Parris
Get two tubes on Amazon (one for your bathroom, one for your bag!) for $13.63.
Promising review: "I bought these shorts to wear for my trip to the Universal theme park and they worked great! They were extremely comfortable and prevented my thighs from chafing, and were still light weight for the weather! Will be wearing again soon!" —Flipper373
Get them from Torrid for $13.65 (originally $18.90; sizes 10–30. Also available in a light cream color.)
It's also loved/reviewed as a primer by Redditors on r/MakeupAddiction and users on Makeup Alley, as long as your skin isn't sensitive to silicones.
Promising reviews: "This is a miracle worker for me, essential for summer. I put it on before I leave the house in shorts, and maybe once more throughout the day. I forget about it right after I put it on, it doesn’t feel gross or weird." —Sydney McGagin
"I've been using this for a makeup primer for at least 3-4 years now! One tube lasts a very long time and it's so inexpensive! I've turned on so many of my girlfriends to this, everyone loves it! Saves us so much money, money we can spend on other make up!" —Nyssa Nevers
Get two boxes on Amazon for $15.38.
Its main ingredients are coconut oil, cocoa butter, beeswax and vitamin E oil — all super hydrating and lubricating.
Promising review: "Bought for a trip to Hawaii after remembering the nightmare my thigh chaffage was when I was younger and living in the Virgin Islands for a month. Applied after I showered and then completely forgot about it. No chaffage, no residue. Note: did not do any strenuous exercise or long distance walking but did do a lot of casual walking, beach sitting, and sitting in a hot car." —C. Blue
Get it on Amazon for $8.95, or a vegan version in a tub for $13.95.
Promising review: "I have that problem a lot of ladies have, inner thigh chafing. This underwear takes care of me. There is no chafing. Ever. It's wonderful. They don't ride up or bunch even when you've got your skinny jeans on. You do see the seams under pants, so maybe a seamless version will be in the future. Otherwise, I don't care. My thighs are happy and I feel great." —AHD
Get them from Tomboyx for $25 (sizes XS-3X, 26 colors / prints available).
Promising review: "Works for thigh chafing! I use it when I'm wearing a dress or skirt. I don't feel like it really prevents sweating, but somehow prevents any of that red soreness where the thighs rub together. Must-have for traveling in summer when I know I'm going to be walking a lot." —Amazon Customer
