“Inner thigh pain? This $2 hack changes everything.” Stop the burning, rubbing, and irritation with this simple DIY fix 🩷🪡 See how to make your own anti-chafing bands in the article 👇
When the weather gets hot, many people start dealing with a frustrating issue: inner thigh chafing. The skin can become red, irritated, and in some cases, even rubbed raw. This discomfort isn’t always caused by excess weight — sometimes it’s simply due to the shape of your legs. Even slim people can experience this.
Wearing jeans can help reduce friction, but often they wear out quickly in that area and don’t last long. Everyone deserves relief, so it’s worth trying different methods to find what works for you.
One easy and effective solution is using short-style shaping underwear. These are designed to smooth the thighs and reduce friction between the legs.
But if you can’t find your size or prefer a DIY option, here’s an alternative:
At most fabric stores, you can find wide elastic lace — it costs about $1.50–$2 per meter. Before buying, measure the part of your thigh where chafing occurs.
Cut the lace to size and sew two simple bands, often called “thigh bands” or “anti-chafing bands.”
Tips for Making Them Work Well:
Be sure to measure correctly so they fit snugly but not too tight.
Position the seam on the side or back for comfort.
For better security, you can sew them into short-style underwear.
If you’re using a sewing machine, choose a zigzag stitch so the bands stay stretchy. You can also sew them by hand — just make sure to stretch the fabric slightly while stitching so it stays flexible when worn.
