Someone please tell me how I am a plus size princess and did not know what spanx were? Seriously!?
I love to wear skirts and dresses but found since gaining this weight, that simply wearing a slip or granny panties would not do the trick anymore to appear... smoother and avoid the chub-rub.
I was saying to a colleague the other day that this will be the year of dresses again etc... but I wasn't looking forward to the painful chaffing. And well, since I will be abstaining from sex for the next 6.5 months for the Accutane treatment, I do not have to worry about anyone seeing the unsightly appearance of that!
Chub Rub is what The Big Girl Blog calls it. It is the demise of your favourite jeans. It is the source of everything unsightly on your thighs when you want to be intimate or gawd forbid, wear a bathing suit.
You can be sure I'll be tracking down a pair of Spanx in the very near future and reviewing their product!
from the pictures on the Spanx Plus Size page, they look to be light weight and breathable. *phew*
There would be nothing worse than finding a magical cure for the chub-rub and then dying from over heating due to it.
The Spanx's come in all sorts of options. From panties, half leg, half calf, full body etc... Seriously, there is something for every outfit. Now I'm assuming that the site is in USD funds online.
Anyone know off the top of their head if I can purchase these things in the local department stores?
Better believe I'll be calling around soon.
I'm excited for this!
In addition The Big Girl Blog also posted a site for Jessica London wide calf boots!!! woot!
Got to love this girl. She has great style and shares her secrets with us!
Check these pretties out!! I'm getting them in Black and Carmel!!
Jessica London Boots and these!!!
For the price, even with delivery, they are way affordable!!!
Yes if you haven't notice I'm adding links to the SPANX, cos I have a feeling I'm going to be a very loyal customer should this work out!!
I'll report back soon as soon I purchase a pair and them out. :)
As it turns out Spanx are available in Canada

How did you not know about Spanx, I feel like as a friend I've failed you. This lady has been loving them for years, there is no way to avoid chub rub, plain and simple, especially in the warmer months. It also keeps everything where it should be...
ReplyDeleteZappos also has wide calf boots - FYI.
Thanks GF!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of them, ever!!! Let get this correct, they won't help with the chub rub? Will they at least reduce it?
Thanks for reading
Sorry that was a little confusing - and I should have also logged in as my other "identity." There is no non-spanx way to avoid chub-rub that I have found.
ReplyDeleteThey are a blessing from on high - their knee highs and tights are also - super pricey though, but I do love them when I splurge.
Too late I'm following GF now too! :-)
ReplyDeleteWell that's awesome - that blog is getting more love these days from me anyways.
ReplyDeleteWhat?!! How have you survived without Spanx all these years? I love love love Spanx, and their generic counter parts. So awesome for wearing a dress, in particular. Just one word of warning: My friend was wearing her trusty spanx the other night, they were the kind that go under your bra all the way down to your knees, and went out with her boyfriend. When they got home, they started making out, and he removed her dress. At which point, he exclaimed, "What the hell?! You look like a Cabbage Patch doll!" LOL. Now that would be embarassing. And looking skinny is not worth that at all. :)
