No matter the season, throwing on a dress or skirt can always put a little pep in our step. But nothing ruins a stylish outfit quite like the telltale burn of your inner thighs starting to chafe. (It’s especially common when temperatures are high and bodies are perspiring, because “sweat can break down the top layer of the skin” and result in a rash, explained board-certified dermatologist Dr. Angela Lamb in previous coverage.) Balms and bike shorts can help ease the pain, but according to several people in our newsroom, nothing beats the Thigh Society’s anti-chafe shorts.
They’re designed with an ultra-lightweight fabric that promises to protect your skin without making it feel compressed or overly hot. They are beloved by HuffPost editors and reviewers alike, making them an absolute must for anyone seeking a comfortable, long-term solution to thigh friction.
HuffPost editorial operations coordinator Alexandra Niforos first brought them to our attention with an unprompted glowing testimonial in an internal Slack channel. Like many of us, she gets overheated easily and said these shorts, “literally feel like wearing nothing.” Initially, she didn’t believe the hype surrounding them, but once she caved and bought a few pairs, she realized all the promises the brand makes are true (that they fit like a second skin, are stretchy, soft and feel incredible) and claims she “will never wear anything else.” Previously, she had tried bike shorts from Aerie, Target and Aritzia, and found that they were hit or miss.
