As any Chubby Gal knows, hot weather and chubby thighs can be a lethal combination. Sure, a sun-dress is the most flattering and comfortable thing to wear when the days are humid and the temperatures are high. But that combination can also produce pain.

Here’s a trick to stop the chafing: dust a little cornstarch wherever your legs meet each other as you walk. No, I’m not kidding. It works like a charm! I keep a small plastic container of it in my purse for touch-ups throughout the day. With a wad of tissue and a little privacy, my thunder thighs no longer bear painful red marks at the end of the day.

Works great if you’re large breasted and prone to heat rash around your bra line, too.
