Bandelettes Original Patented Elastic Anti-Chafing Thigh Bands

I was skeptical at first, especially since my thighs rub so tight my protectant shorts rise up and I still chafe. BUT THEY WERE AMAZING. I used them everyday to my grip to Oregon. Under skirts and dresses, it was so humid, they did not slip, did not bother me, I forgot I had them on. They were not tight, I got a Large I’m a size 12 in jeans. They did not loose elasticity. I was afraid of that. I walked for 12+ hours, the cloth did not budge or hurt my skin. As someone who looked for YEARS on remedies or clothing to help with chafing, do it. Just do it.

Seriously these are the most amazing product ever made! Well that is a bit of a stretch but for anyone who had dealt with Chub Rub and chaffing I think you would agree with me. I will start by saying that I used to HATE dresses, and all occasions where I may have to wear one for that reason only. BUT after seeing a buzzfeed video reviewing these I knew I had to try them. I got out my trusty fabric measuring tape, made sure I measured the widest part of my thy and selected the right size. At first it took me a few minutes to get them positioned correctly, but once you do, and get used to them they are amazing! They don't roll or move! They aren't tight at all, but they aren't loose either. It's like they are just resting on my skin. There is no pain no itching, they just hang out and I can run around in a dress all day long and never have a problem. I have become a dress wearer! I actually have them on RIGHT NOW at work. I have worn these on hot, humid days, to weddings while doing tons of dancing, gotten sweaty and I have had no issues. My husband also threw them through the washer/dryer by accident and they are still as perfect as ever. (purchased the black, lace ones) I have had no issues with the lace pilling or pulling apart. I have appointed myself to be an honorary spokes person for these bad boys because I can't help but tell everyone how amazing they really are! Don't hesitate and buy! They are totally worth it, just make sure you measure correctly and get the right size!

I got both a lace pair and a non lace pair. The lace one don't go as far down as the non lace ones which is why i think they are so hard to find a somewhat comfortable spot. They don't cover all of our thigh/all of where is rubs. If you pull them down so the seams don't rub then the top of your thigh is exposed, if you pull them up then the bottoms come unaligned and can rub uncomfortably. This may tempt you to try and use something else with it, but DON'T, it just makes the adhisve less stickyI say if you are going to wear them, you should probably be doing it for fashion or under shorts to make them longer, or if your thighs don't rub a lot anyway. One the plus side, they were well made and fit around my leg perfectly. Lacy ones i give 2.5-3 stars The non lacy ones i loved. They where thin and silky, but not so thin to not do their job, they went further down my leg than the lace ones, so no uncomfortable rubbing at the bottom and no exposed top. I wore them in 118 degree weather and was fine (well my thighs were, the rest of me not so much). They were a wider than the lace ones even though I ordered the exact same size from the exact same company so they where pretty loose, also a size to big. They are easy to take in though if you know how so thats cool, better to order too big than too small. Also after wearing them a few (3) days in a row the adhesive didn't stick as well, that mixed with being too big made the actually slide down my leg. I haven't worn them since i washed them but the adhesive does feel sticker so we'll see. I give the non lacy ones a solid 4. TL,DR Lacy: Sizing: good Length down thigh: too short Tips: only wear to lengthen shorts or if you don't have very much rub to begin with Overall score: 3 Non lacy: Sizing: a size too big, but easy to take in yourself Length down thigh: much better about 1 1/2 inches longer, completely covers area that rubs Tips: Order a size down. DON'T use other anti-chaffing stuff with it (baby powder, deodorant, etc) it interferes with the adhesive. Wash regularly Overall score: Solid 4

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.

These are nice, they do run a bit big in my opinion but so far have mostly stayed in place and are comfortable compared to boy short underwear which rides up after walking for a few minutes. I am knocking a couple stars because they need to fix the packaging. These came folded together and the adhesive strips were completely stuck together. While I was able to very carefully pry the adhesives apart with minimal damage, it was difficult and there are pieces of adhesive that peeled off completely. I can see where many people may end up with lots of damage trying to get the adhesive pieces apart.

***********UPDATE: I am changing my review, because these completely fell to pieces after exactly three uses. The sticky inner elastic peeled right off the fabric, just from me wearing them. I really wanted these to work, but it seems they aren't built to last. ****************** I work in a hospital and have to wear scrubs for my job. My scrubs are very comfortable, but because of the way they're shaped, the crotch tends to hang down too far and the very top of my thighs tend to rub together. I have folliculitis so all the rubbing is causing me to get cysts all over my upper inner thigh. I've been looking for a solution for a while, first I tried bike shorts, then men's boxer briefs. I ran into the same problem, it was really uncomfortable to have so many layers on, and it got way too hot. Finally I found out about these bands and thought why not. I was very very very skeptical. I've tried thigh high stockings/socks before and they NEVER stay up. I really didn't see why this would be any different. So, these do actually work really well, and I've now used them for two 12 hour shifts without fail. The ONLY reason I got these to work, though, is because of a tip I saw on here which I greatly appreciated. Placement is everything. They only work if the inside of the band is up higher than the outside. The inside of the band needs to be up literally as high as it can go, like almost touching your underwear, or they will roll down. But if you have them just in the right spot, they are not going anywhere. I ran around this hospital, up and down hallways, squatting, bending, assisting patients, and they did not move. My other tip is that if you go to the bathroom, make sure you check your positioning after you pull your underwear back up, because that is the one thing that will mess with them. They work perfectly for my purposes, but I only gave them four stars because I'm really unsure as to how they would work if I were to wear them with a skirt. It seems like they aren't long enough, they don't go far enough down my inner thigh to completely eliminate all the areas my thighs rub together. The other thing is they aren't breathable AT ALL. I could feel myself sweating under the bands like crazy. Still, much less hot than wearing three layers.

Ladies, we all know the discomfort of "chub rub" in the hot and sticky days of summer. Since having a "thigh gap" is only a reality for perhaps 1% of women (totally estimating but it seems likely!) these things are a Godsend. I've worn Spanx like products for years to avoid the chaffing. But let's be honest, in summer especially it is too stinking hot to be wrapped in spandex from your navel to your knees. Add humidity into the equation and well, forget it. Just give me a pair of shorts and I'll pull my dresses and skirts back out in the fall, thank you very much. I debated these for at least two years before finally giving in and purchasing them, reasoning that I "already had something that worked". Well that was just silliness because these are freaking amazing! AH. MAZE. ING. I've worn more dresses this summer in the nastiest heat and had zero problems. They don't move. They don't shift. You don't have to pull them up because they don't roll down or slip. Using the restroom presents zero problem. All the airy comfort of my summer dresses without the compression of Spanx and all the chub rub coverage I need! Hallelujah!I have a pair of the slinky and the lacy and love them both. Though do be aware that the lacy will not lay totally smooth on your skin so if you are wearing something tight/stretchy it will "show", in which case the slinky is a better option and disappears under practically anything - they also don't create static the way the lacy one's can if the dress is particularly clingy. The lacy are better for things that are looser and flow off the body more. Two hints for how to wear them: 1. make sure the seam is either on the outside of your thigh or at least around the back so it isn't visible under clothes when you sit or if the item is snug, 2. Pull the Bandlette all the way up as high as you can wear it so that the inside sits in the crease of your leg, and the back is just under your "cheek", I find pulling it up just a tad higher on the outside of my thigh also helps keep it in place. I wore these all day wandering around Paris and London this summer in the ridiculous heat and they saved my legs and didn't budge at all. They are machine washable, I just throw them in my delicates bag with my bras and let them air dry. Whoever developed these is a saint!

I purchased these at the same time as VASSARETTE Women's Comfortably Smooth Slip Short Panty 12674, White Ice, X-Large/8 , because I have never tried any type of "thigh saver" before and I didn't know what to expect. As I clicked to place these in my shopping cart, this is what I was worried about and what I have discovered: 1. Would they slip/roll/fit appropriately? I have not had a problem with slipping or rolling! I'm actually amazed by this because they are not too tight to cause any bulging, but they still stay up! Even when sitting and standing repeatedly! I did make sure to use the sizing chart that the sell supplied. Make sure you do this for the right fit!! As other reviewers mentioned, I wear them about as high as they can go on my legs without touching my butt. I think if I was wearing them lower, they would fall, but they work where they're at! 2. Are they noisy? They do have a little bit of a 'shoowsh' sound when walking, similar to wearing jeans, not as loud as corduroys. After reading some of the other reviews, I was terrified that the sound would be noticeable to others, but it's not! I actually don't really notice it unless I'm listening for it. Regardless, I would take this over the pain of chafing any day!! 3. Would people be able to tell that I was wearing them? I chose the tan color. I am currently wearing a white gauzy skirt, and you cannot see these at all through the skirt! What I learned: When I had to go to the bathroom for the first time while wearing these, I was a little worried, especially in a public bathroom. I didn't want to pull them down before I sat, and as I mentioned above, I wear them as high up on my thighs as they can go, which means that they would be touching the toilet seat. As I write this I realize how silly this sounds, but it was a dilemma for me! I ended up not touching them and just sitting as usual, but this was the only thing that made me appreciate the slip shorts better, because you just pull those down and go like normal. Despite that I don't like going to the bathroom in these (which I'll get over), I still feel like these deserve a five star review! They are easy to slip on, comfy, and the comfort of being able to wear a skirt with no chafing for the first time is HEAVEN!!

What a god send!! 6 months pregnant during a UK heatwave my upper thighs have been really sore. Up until now I’ve been wearing shorts under my skirts and dresses but depending on the colour you can see I’m wearing them whereas these are completely hidden! I’m a size 10/12, naturally I’ve gained weight since being pregnant but even the slimmest people’s legs can chafe. Really soft material, true to size and don’t slip down. So so pleased with this product worth every penny!

Ladies and gents. I have had chub rub for years now, I’ve used shorts, cut off leggings, some “comfort shorts” from Evans and nothing, NOTHING as worked as well as these. I orongally ordered a size too big after taking the advice and going up as I was in between, so I was a little disspoainted they didn’t work as well. But I took another chance, ordered a smaller size and by goodness I’m glad I did!!!! THEY ARE AMAZING. gone are painful thighs, hot sweatiness after wearing shorts, and HELLO to feeing fabulous!!!! Make sure you measure properly and you won’t regret it!!!!!!!

Con l'estate in arrivo cercavo una soluzione femminile e sexy per poter indossare vestitini e gonne senza il fastidioso problema dello sfregamento delle cosce. Queste fascette di pizzo sono sexy e comodissime. Il pizzo è sottile, morbido , elastico ed è in tutto e per tutto analogo a quello delle calze autoreggenti. Nella parte interna ci sono due strisce di silicone che aderiscono perfettamente e fanno in modo che le fascette di pizzo non si spostino mai, nemmeno per sbaglio. Basta essere precisi nel misurare la propria circonferenza coscia e scegliere la misura adatta e queste fascette si appoggeranno sulle vostre gambe , proteggeranno la vostra pelle e non le sentirete nemmeno. E se, per caso si spostasse leggermente l'orlo dell'abito o della gonna e dovessero intravedersi, l'effetto sexy è assicurato!

Ich habe die Bandelettes jetzt schon mehrfach getragen und bin begeistert. Die Naht trage ich an der Außenseite des Oberschenkels, damit nichts reibt und durch den Silikonstreifen hält es super auf der Haut. Ich habe mir auch noch ein anderes Paar mit durchgehendem Stoff gekauft, bei dem schwitze ich darunter aber. Bei diesen Bandelettes mit Spitze merke ich nichts davon. Sobald man sich einmal an das Gefühl der Bandelettes gewöhnt hat, bemerkt man sie gar nicht mehr. Tipp am Rande: für mich klappt es am besten, wenn ich am WC die Bandelettes ein Stück runterschiebe und danach wieder an ihre Position gebe.

Freaking godsend for summer! And they stay put!
