Solutions for thigh rub (with ETA)

I have thighs that are proportionally somewhat larger than the rest of me, and thigh rubbing is an issue.

But in 2020 I got these great products

Thanks to a recommendation from Jenn here on YLF, I bought two pairs of chub rub undershorts. They are the best and I wear them constantly in summer as I wear dresses most of the time. Love them (I bought beige rather than the coloured versions in the link)
This year there are finally longer close fit running shorts available. I love my Elle and Voo longer shorts (Mine are navy). I hope to get some more.

I have yet to buy some non-running shorts. I'm still wearing my one pair from 10 years ago.(pic two) I got some shorts handed down from a 19 year old but they are all too short and bunch up in the upper thighs. Maybe next summer

ETA - I knew there were 3 things I wanted to mention (this post has been brewing for months)! Last summer I bought some very lightweight poplin PJ pants and they were so great at avoiding my legs touching each other at night . (and wearing around the house) This summer I returned to Target planning on getting some more, but couldn't find them. Instead I bought these PJs https://www.target.com.au/p/sh.....19d356e044 and they are great - I thought the colour and sleeves would make them too hot in our hot Aussie summer but almost every night they've been ok (in AC anyway!)

That's great! I used Johnson & Johnson's baby powder for decades, but not since the reports of a link to ovarian cancer came out

Cute shorts! I like the short length Jockey Slipshorts for non-athletic uses, like under dresses when it’s beyond hot. They don’t bind in the waist.

Thanks doggeh lover - I've used it in the past too, but won't be now!

cat2 - The jockey Slipshorts seem very similar to the Chub Rub tights and I think were recommended to me in the same thread - I can't recall now why I decided on these ones.

BTW I've added a third item to my original post

I have this issue; the inside of my thighs have ALWAYS rubbed together, even when I was a size 2! I use slipshorts (the snug king - kind of like shapewear, but without the compression), too, as I love to wear dresses all year 'round. Tights take care of things in the winter, but no product has ever worked for me except the shorts.
