This is my keyword paragraph where I try to squeeze all them good seo words in to some unwilling sentences. Confidence about your body can be hard (!) but tips are fun - the comfortzone is for squares, self-esteem is for the cool kids. Love yourself like a farmer loves his tractor, lots of oil and run yourself up and down the fields to keep your wheels ticking over. What were we doing? Oh yes, keywords. Prioritise your mental health during the summer break, the ideal weight is a moveable feast and fat-phobia can absolutely suck it.

One of the ways I’ve been trying to change my thinking about this is instead of thinking about covering up or modesty I’ve decided to think of it as dressing comfortably. Like longer shorts are more comfortable (no chub rub, don’t have to constantly readjust) and I’m going to wear them because I want to live my life without having to constantly readjust my clothes and have the first reason I buy something is comfort. I came to this conclusion because I don’t think men dress with an eye to function and then form and women’s clothing is often only form with no function.

I said I want my first thought when wearing clothes to be function THEN form. Also the whole point is that Im dressing, or doing things for that matter like eating healthy FOR MYSELF. Distinctly not for what people will say about me. I actually am attempting to not give a flying fugg, as you say, about what other people think, and that means not dressing in clothes that are impossible to move in or function in.

Tip for those that have tried everything for chub rub: there are products specifically made to prevent chafing FOR MARATHON RUNNERS. So they are designed to stay on for a long time and not wear off with sweat. It's what I have found that works best for me and I don't fear wearing dresses o shorts anymore, so I'm putting this knowledge out into the universe. You can probably find them online or at places that sell sport equipment. Hope y'all have a good summer ☀️

I was coming here to suggest this. As a fat triathlete and runner, I've tried a LOT of these products. My favorite is by 2Toms, called Sport Shield. You can get it in a roll on, which I keep at home, or towelettes which you can keep in your purse or bag for emergencies. I started using it to help get on my wetsuit instead of the commonly used Body Glide (which I thought was sticky and the opposite of proper lube, gross), and then tried it between my toes when I was getting horrible blisters one summer and it was a lifesaver. It works by reducing friction, a little goes a LONG way, and it never loses viscosity. The shop I first bought it from warned me that if you spill any or a drop gets on the floor, it will be slick for just about ever. Heh. Basically, you put on a very thin layer and you're good to go til you take it off. Highly recommend.

I would add on to the "getting your arms out" point that there are different ways to dress to be comfy in heat. Generally, yeah, taking off clothes means you are cooler, but not in the sun, where sunlight on your skin will warm you up a lot more than sunlight on light-coloured light-weight fabrics. Loose clothes (skirts are GREAT, blouses are great, tighter things like crop tops or modern dress bodices aren't as good: think Edwardian bodices they are great in how loose they are) are ideal, and natural fabrics especially linen will cool you off naturally. Other plant-fibre fabrics might work the same but I'm not sure. Wool maintains your temperature so if you're hot it will keep you hot. Silk is hot too, as is cotton. Linen's expensive so that's not always ideal, but cotton is a lot cheaper and still pretty cool. Fancy athletic fabrics might advertise themselves as being cooling and they probably are, but price and being tight are factors to consider. Parasols are also great, as are absolutely bonkers giant hats. In the northern hemisphere a lot of the time you can get away with shorts and a t-shirt to cool off in summer, but in desert countries or humid and hot ones, you really need to cover up. There's a reason Arab people who live near the Sahara traditionally dress in those clothes!
@choisant7741 3 жыл бұрын
For me, this is what works. I switched from taking off clothes in the summer to covering myself in nice loose, cool clothes. I always bring a large flowy scarf when I go out in the summer so that if I get too hot I can put it over my head and shoulders! Another benefit from this is that I am less likely to get sunburned. However, I have friends that sweat too much for this to be a good option, so it's not for everyone.

I feel you on the thigh rub also sometimes feeling like my arms are too flabby. I recently went out wearing a boobtube and felt self-conscious about my arms. I had an eating disorder and my arms used to be much skinnier but I just keep reminding myself that I am healthy and that I don't need to starve myself or over exercise to fit into an instagram body model. It makes me so happy women loving and accepting their bodies.

I feel like your point about arm tattoos changing how you feel about your arms is SO important, and can be applied to other things too! I've been overweight for as long as I can remember, and I used to feel pretty uncomfortable showing skin in hot weather, but I got into hula hooping during lockdown and it's really changed how I feel about my body, particularly my stomach. The idea of wearing shorts and a crop top to hang out in the park no longer fills me with dread, it just means I can hoop around with minimal fabric interference.😜 It definitely ties in with your point about keeping moving too, I just find it so cool how physically *using* my tummy for a cool new skill has helped me feel so much more relaxed about how it *looks* 😊

I got my nose pierced and bought brightly colored glasses. Partly to make sure my acne isn’t the loudest thing on my face (I know that’s not the best mindset) but also so I can feel some sort of control over how my face looks. I think they help me find a small bit of love for my face.

Fun fact about thigh rubbing - even when I my weight was around 53 kg they still were touching and causing me pain in the summer. And later on I realised it's because: 1. my hip bone structure and 2. shaving. When I was waxing my legs or either letting the hair grow out it was definitely less painful. Shaving and my hair being very sharp and thick afterwards was a big trigger in terms of thigh chafing. From that day on - only biker shorts under skirts!

Important note for "moving" in summer - if it's really hot, try to do it in the morning or evening when it's cooler. The extra chub really works as an insulator, and those of us with arctic-appropriate body types have an extra risk of overheating. I'd put a bottle of ice-cold water in that survival bag, and if you're out in the heat of the day *do not* be ashamed to pour it all over your hair to cool off. I commuted in london for years, and office appropriate wear in a 40 degree centigrade non air-conditioned train for an hour really makes you appreciate a good bottle of water to tip all over your head. (yes, by home time, the trains really do get 5-8 degrees warmer than ambient... regularly).

THANK YOU- so wise and validating ! I needed this as a chubby teenager, and I still need this as a 20s thin person with reams of loose skin (I will be sharing this video with my future grand sons and grand daughters)

Thank you so much for this brilliant video. I bought chub rub shorts last summer and they have changed my life! You are awesome

Thank you for this!! This is my first summer where these apply to me due to starting new meds and therefore putting on weight. All my family and friends are smaller than me so they had no idea about thighs rubbing together! This has helped me not feel as alone and weird for it happening! Thank you!

loved this - so many good tips! cycling shorts also work really well as an under skirt/under dress chub rub preventer :)

Oh Leena, this video has made me feel so comforted and way less alone this summer. After suffering through thigh-chafing for 23 years, I've finally invested in some anti-chafe cream and shorts. I can't thank you enough for this video and for being so lovely and positive about a topic that truly is so normal. Sending all my love!!

This video has helped me so much - I’ve gained some weight on my eating disorder recovery journey recently, and you have made me feel like my bigger, softer body is still beautiful and normal - and it deserves to have fun and enjoy the lovely weather this season! thank you 💗

I love this video so so so much. I wish I had these tips when I was in my early 20s suffering from severe chub rub but still insisting on wearing dresses with no protection.
