Yes tacosforlife. I think she gets a commission for every pair sold here ... I've certainly made a contribution. If you don't need spanx but don't want thigh rub, skimmies are your BFF.
Do they work for really chunky thighs? I'm concerned they will roll up.
yes! just make sure you have the correct size, mine are getting a little too big now ( <) ) and they are starting to roll up, which is very annoying. But when they fit properly mine didn't budge

I flipping love skimmies. I wear dresses/skirts to work every day and they have made my life about a million times better. I have sensitive skin and the rash I'd get from chub rub would last forever. Now, I haven't had chub rub in almost a year!
Yes, they are breathable. I've got chubby thighs and they don't roll up, unless I make them if I'm wearing a flouncy skirt. My one issue is static. Some of my dresses get all stuck to me, but now they sell a cling-free kind, so I'm going to be looking into those.

Love these - a total lifesaver when I was pregnant! Perfect belly support without being restrictive, no chub rub, and no worries about flashing people at work.
I started with the short length and rolled up like crazy, but that was fixed when I switched to the regular ones. Also, Jockey's return policy is awesome if you get the wrong size or something.

Dude. I have the world's chunkIEST thighs. Why do you think I need them? Skinny thighs don't get chub rub!
When it doubt, size down. They are super stretchy, and if they are too big, they will roll up.
I have a problem with them rolling up when I go for lunchtime walks because my office is FREEZING! So my legs shrink just a little. But if I can pull them down once I've been walking a bit and everything has swelled back up to normal, they're usually fine.

Almighty and Everliving Jockey, we thank you for clothing us with the leg cover of the most precious Skimmies made of such protective cloth; and for assuring us in these warm days that our thighs shall be chafe free and smooth for all eternity. And now, Skimmies, send us out to wear dresses and skirts, to walk and dance as faithful witness of Jockey our Savior. To Skimmies, to Right Thigh, and to Left Thigh be honor and glory, now and forever.
Up until now I've been wearing spanx to avoid chub rub. In exchange for my thighs not chafing like the fires of hell, I had to feel like a stuffed sausage all day. I almost never wear dresses for this reason.
These are incredibly soft and stretchy and not constricting. It's like boxer briefs for ladies.
I found them at my local Macy's on sale- normally $20 each, these were marked down to 9.80 (in Aqua and a dark grey). I'm going to go back and buy a few more.
I wear them every single day in the summer. I hate the anti-wicking kind though - the waistband and the fabric is not as comfortable. I buy more every time they go on sale at Macy's.

AMEN.
This should be a jockey commercial. Like a group of ladies of all sizes , holding hands in a prayer circle. The leader starts the prayer. It continues as a voice over, no music in the background, on various slow motion shots of women walking down the street, dancing, running up stairs, chasing a taxi, all in skirts in dresses. Finally, it flashes back to the prayer circle as the leader finishes. All of the women chorus amen. Then proceed into a jockey store and buy out the entire stock of skimmies.

If you aren't inclined to hit the outlet, call them and they will ship direct from the store. They are always cheapest in the outlet excluding dept. store clearance with coupons, etc..
If it's online, but not in the store, have the store do the order with a courtesy card; 20%off plus free shipping. They often have coupons to use in store too.
If you hit the outlet without a coupon, the mall website always has a printable one.

You guys, every time someone likes the prayer I wrote, I start reading it to myself again, using the exact same cadence as the closing prayer at church. I am cracking myself up over here.
