Is this hideous?

[Bernadine]

Help me with this issue.  We booked our honeymoon- Riviera Maya in June.  I know it's going to be hot and humid as fuck, and I plan on wearing a swimsuit most of the day, everyday.  I'm worried for my thighs.  This is better than long, loose pants, right?  What else can I do to prevent chafage?

I think it's cute.

I think that's cute!

I will often wear my draw string linen pants as a cover up. They're so light weight and I'm not all self conscious.

I was going to suggest the same.  The nice thing about pants, too, is that they'll help keep you from getting roasted if you burn easily.

I think it is really cute! I could not personally wear something like that because I am very apple shaped and the romper is not a good look on an apple shaped middle. :?

Just some other ideas. I put deodorant on my thighs and it helps a bunch with the chaffing. Also, I am kind of obsessed with Old Navy shorts. They are the perfect length and fit for me.

it's cute but it's so short that it won't prevent chafing in that area, IMO. why not pack a small thing of that glide stuff (i can't remember the name..)? i use it on G's thighs so that his wet trunks don't irritate his legs.

Body glide. Works great

what hotel??

Dorado Seaside Suites.  It's further away from everything, but it got great reviews, and looks awesome.

Are you against wearing regular cover ups? Perhaps one with more thigh coverage, or light weight maxi dresses?

Not at all, I was just thinking it would be nice to have something to keep my sweaty thighs from rubbing together, lol.  This is blocked at work, I'll check it when I get home.

um, yeah - that looks amazing!!

We went old school and booked through a travel agent, which only saved us around $100 on a beachfront room, BUT, they have a deal with a hotel by the airport, and we'll get a free room the night before we leave, and free parking there for the week.

Also, we're going Weds-Weds, which is insanely cheaper than going weekend-weekend.

I second linen pants. Love them.

I would do this.


Because they thing you linked will make you look boxy and not really prevent chafing.


I LOVE a  sexy one piece with loose linen pants and a wide brimmed hat. So cute.

This is where Im at.  It's cute, but it all depends on your body type. 

Now I want linen pants....

Which resort did you decide on?

I'll look into the linen pants.  I'm just worried about finding a leaner fit that won't make me look huge on the bottom.  I might go frou frou and wear wedges, so that would help lengthen me.

I love it. That would ride up on me though and if probably still get chafing. It's the worst. : (
I have tried everything for chafing and the only product which actually works without being a gross gloopy mess is Monistat chafing gel. It's hard to find in stores though.

It's this product. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0012ZNSWE?cache=a12814b5da9c5325848080f284e2d599#ref=mp_s_a_1_1&qid=1393256021&sr=8-1

I like it, but I'm sure the linen pants are more practical.
