Bandelettes Original Patented Elastic Anti-Chafing Thigh Bands

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 don't usually write reviews but I simply must for these. I'm a curvy gal with lipedema and sensory issues and these are, hands down, the best anti-chafing solution I've ever used. They stay in place all day if you ensure the drippy parts are all in contact with your skin. They feel like nothing on! Also, I've had mine for about 6 months and have washed and worn each multiple times and somehow they're still going strong (not as strong but they still work). I'm not kidding, I've hiked 8 hours straight in hot weather over intense terrain in these and they've not budged. Make sure you measure to get your correct size, but once you do, get ready to finally wear skirts again without annoying bike shorts that add bulk and ride up! Bliss. Please get these.

Huge cannot wear them as they slide down. but they are very practical and cute.

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!!

I love the concept of these, I ordered a size down as recommended, well actually, apparently my thighs are different sizes, the left is the top end of one size range and the right is the bottom end of the next size range up so I went with the smaller size figuring that one inch would not make that much of a difference. I wore them to work one day last week, and they worked! they were comfortable, no rubbing, very slight 'swish' sound as I walked but no worse than wearing panty hose and the swishing from them.They stayed up all day, didnt have to adjust them at all. Took them off in the evening and hopped into bed. The next morning I noticed, through my nightgown, something that looked like a lumpy ridge on my right thigh, so I took a peek. Yikes, a line of about four large fluid filled blisters! So I checked round both thighs and noticed red and slightly bumpy areas on both thighs in the area, top and bottom, that the silicone gripper strip is. They are not painful, dont itch, not even the blisters hurt unless I catch one on something, very odd. I dont know if I am allergic to silicone or if the Bandalettes are too tight, that might explain the blisters only on my larger thigh. Has anyone else had this issue? I was not aware of any rubbing or irritation while I was wearing them. Do I try the next size up? Will they fall down? Not sure what to do. I am so disappointed as they worked really well at stopping Chub Rub!
