Bandelettes Original Patented Elastic Anti-Chafing Thigh Bands *Prevent Thigh Chafing*

Finally something cute and functional; they actually stay up too. I have no outer thigh and very much all inner thigh so the Chub rub is real; having to wear shorts isn’t always what I want to do; I like the option of having these as an option especially in the summer. I’m going to get the non lace ones next for more active things.

I didn't even know what "chub rub" was until I joined a Plus Sized group when I was planning our honeymoon to Disney.But, I knew it not only made me miserable, but really embarrassed me.When my husband and I were first dating, I had to resort to wearing bike short style panties anytime I wore a skirt. Of course, I had to worry about those bike shorts showing under the skirt as lumps, below the hem of the skirt, or that they might ride up and defeat the purpose. They also made an extra layer of heat in the summertime. The alternative was just to make sure I didn't walk too much. Even worse, what if he put his hand on my thigh and felt that awkward lump under the skirt? I couldn't help but think of them as my "fat girl panties" or "fat girl scuba gear." I certainly did not feel like a beautiful woman or sexy or attractive. I felt embarrassed. I know that skinny girls wear them too for shaping, but I still felt awkward and unattractive.After I got married, I still had a preoccupation with it. My husband loved my body, but that thigh-chafing problem really embarrassed me, so I would dress out of eye-shot when I wore a skirt and I never wore shorts.Bandalettes have been a complete blessing. They look like lingerie and don't make you feel like you're wearing granny panties under your clothes. They look like something you wore deliberately to feel pretty and feminine. They don't look like something you're wearing "to keep your thighs from rubbing." They look just like an attractive addition to your garment - like an accessory.When I first pulled them out I worried about the fit. If you measure like they ask you to, you really have nothing to worry about. These are NOT tight, nor do they feel snug. They fit comfortably and stay up nicely. I tend to buy loose clothing (especially pants) and I have no complaints on how these fit. You can feel that they work as soon as you try them on. Where skin used to grip, it now just glides easily past. The lace is not scratchy and holds it's pattern well when put on.They are made in China, designed in the US.They are hand wash, but really that's pretty easy. The packaging is attractive and subtle, I'm including a picture.For sizing, definitely measure your thigh. Mine was smaller than the pant size recommendation and it fits perfectly!I can't say enough about this wonderful design and I'm going to order more colors today if they are available in my size.Thank you Bandalettes! I finally feel feminine and attractive again! Now I can wear more of the clothes I love.

I bought these to wear under my wedding dress this summer to keep my thighs from chaffing. They worked really well for the whole afternoon/evening, and I was super glad I had them! Since then, I have worn them under skirts, dresses, and even with shorter shorts many times this summer. Even after washing, the material does a nice job of sticking to your leg and not sliding down.I only have two main complaints: 1. They do not slide DOWN on me, but sometimes slide UP causing some minor chafing right where my leg meets my torso. Still not as bad as normal chub rub, but not ideal. 2. After two months of wearing them maybe once or twice a week, hand washing in cold water, and hanging to dry, the lace is pilling. This can cause chafing where one bandalette rubs against the opposite leg at times.Overall, I am happy with my purchase. They are great for occasional use, but I will be buying a non-lace pair for more everyday wear. The lace was sexy and fun for my wedding, but not super durable in the long run.

I love these! They have plastic tacky lining that makes them stay put but they’re very comfortable. The fit was right on and I have bigger thighs (bought an XL and i’m on the curvy side with a heavier bottom and 5,4” 170 lbs). The functionality was also amazing, no chafing. I wear them with both dresses and larger pants as well where my thighs would previously rub. Flattering and great for the price.

This seemed like a great item for me. First, I ordered the Large. It's super lightweight and smooth. It has sticky elastic all around the top and bottom of the band. My only thought about that is the summertime. I sweat a lot, so I'd probably use the bands during cooler weather. That's not a huge issue. I tried out the Large and it felt constricting on my thighs once I sat down for a period of time and while walking, the top part on the back would roll down a bit. I exchanged it for an Extra Large. It felt less constricting on my thighs when I was sitting but it still rolled down in the back (on the upper top part). I have more "flubber" in my inner and back so maybe it depends where the fat's distributed. Worth trying as long as it can be returned.
