Bandelettes Original Patented Elastic Anti-Chafing Thigh Bands *Prevent Thigh Chafing*

Received my package a few days earlier than expected. Packaging was nice, nothing messed up. I purchased the solid beige bandalettes. I used the size chart and ordered size C. I'm 5'3 200 lb and they fit perfectly. So far I have just tried them on under a pair of shorts and they are comfortable, breatheable enough and I like the rubber lining strip that holds them in place. I experimented with the placement and went higher on the inside of my thigh and a little lower on the outside, not uncomfortable at all. No weird swoosh noise when they rub together. I would suggest hand washing to preserve the rubber no slip strips. I have HORRIBLE chub rub that often leaves me swollen and raw from sweating or fabric rubbing so these seem so far to be a life saver! Will update my review once I've worn them out and about on a hot day 😄Edit: It’s now July 2019 and I’ve gotten 2 full years of use and just now in the past few days is the rubber strip coming off. I’m disappointed but I will definitely be ordering another pair!

Ladies, we can finally toss the deodorant...these things work! I was skeptical because my thunder thighs are super resistant to any sort of chub-rub defense; my drumsticks just love rubbing up against each other too much. But that crap has got to stop! So I ordered the black, lacey Bandelettes in F, because I figured I needed as big as I could get. Turns out, I really should have measured first because my thighs are 29" and the E's would have fit better. Not that the little bit of looseness in the F's affected their performance - I wore them while walking at least 5 hours at a music festival and they stayed put without me ever needing to adjust them! I couldn't believe it. My delicate inner thigh skin was preserved, not a chub-rub in sight and they're so feminine and romantic looking that I didn't even care if someone caught a peek at that beautiful lace. Way sexier than my usual biker shorts. Love that I can wear dresses all day now without worrying about my thunders overheating.

I didn't even know what "chub rub" was until I joined a Plus Sized group when I was planning our honeymoon to Disney.But, I knew it not only made me miserable, but really embarrassed me.When my husband and I were first dating, I had to resort to wearing bike short style panties anytime I wore a skirt. Of course, I had to worry about those bike shorts showing under the skirt as lumps, below the hem of the skirt, or that they might ride up and defeat the purpose. They also made an extra layer of heat in the summertime. The alternative was just to make sure I didn't walk too much. Even worse, what if he put his hand on my thigh and felt that awkward lump under the skirt? I couldn't help but think of them as my "fat girl panties" or "fat girl scuba gear." I certainly did not feel like a beautiful woman or sexy or attractive. I felt embarrassed. I know that skinny girls wear them too for shaping, but I still felt awkward and unattractive.After I got married, I still had a preoccupation with it. My husband loved my body, but that thigh-chafing problem really embarrassed me, so I would dress out of eye-shot when I wore a skirt and I never wore shorts.Bandalettes have been a complete blessing. They look like lingerie and don't make you feel like you're wearing granny panties under your clothes. They look like something you wore deliberately to feel pretty and feminine. They don't look like something you're wearing "to keep your thighs from rubbing." They look just like an attractive addition to your garment - like an accessory.When I first pulled them out I worried about the fit. If you measure like they ask you to, you really have nothing to worry about. These are NOT tight, nor do they feel snug. They fit comfortably and stay up nicely. I tend to buy loose clothing (especially pants) and I have no complaints on how these fit. You can feel that they work as soon as you try them on. Where skin used to grip, it now just glides easily past. The lace is not scratchy and holds it's pattern well when put on.They are made in China, designed in the US.They are hand wash, but really that's pretty easy. The packaging is attractive and subtle, I'm including a picture.For sizing, definitely measure your thigh. Mine was smaller than the pant size recommendation and it fits perfectly!I can't say enough about this wonderful design and I'm going to order more colors today if they are available in my size.Thank you Bandalettes! I finally feel feminine and attractive again! Now I can wear more of the clothes I love.

These are fantastic! I work overnights and wear dresses regularly to the office, I've been using the deodorant style anti-chafing rubs and wanted a longer lasting option. Ding Ding ladies!! This is it! So comfortable I fell asleep in them! No marks, no uncomfortable "digging in"I did measure my thigh to get an accurate size rather than guessing, but it is definitely true to that measurement. I have 25" thighs here I needed them to fit- obviously the largest point! And they do take some fine tuning to make sure that they don't roll, but once you find that spot- they don't move!!There is a rather tell-tale "swish" when you walk, but better that than the uncomfortable and often painful feeling when chafing occurs or that rub on wears out!I got the lacy ones and they are sexy and soft to the touch with the silicone on the top and bottom.These are amazing! Highly recommended and can't wait to purchase additional colors!!!

Tried them once, couldn't get them to stay on long enough to attempt walking in them. Definitely the right size, fit comfortably, not too loose or tight, they just start rolling immediately, and I tried in all different positions. Maybe if I had legs like the model, straight and without any wider or narrower areas, they would work, but let's be honest, if my legs were that straight and narrow, I wouldn't need a product to keep them from chafing. Sending them back.

I've only just received my bandalettes and am yet to wear them in a 'real world' scenario (I'll update my review when I do), but so far I'm pretty pleased! They're made of a nice, soft and stretchy lace and for a 'nude' colour they're quite pretty - some nice little iridescent bits in the lace. It was a little nerve wracking unpacking them as the silicon on each side had stuck together and they were tough to pull apart, but nothing ripped so that's a good start! They fit comfortably, although I maybe could have gone a size down... I can slide a finger round the outer side quite easily, but I think if they were any tighter they'd make my thighs look a bit lumpy. A unexpected perk is that the bands kind of 'cinch' in your thighs under your bum and give you an instant bum lift :) I've had a walk around the house in them and they're comfy and I haven't had any rolling or movement yet - we'll see what happens when I wear them out in the wild! Candid side note: I was a little *ahem* unkempt in the bikini area when I tried these on and the silicon does pull a bit on any hair in the upper thigh area. Not painfully, but a bit of an odd sensation - something to bare in mind for ladies like me who are a bit lazy on their topiary duties!**UPDATE** The bandalettes had a baptism of fire walking around Italy in 25 degree heat and they held up amazingly! Really comfortable and no slippage - forgot I had them on! Definitely going to feel much more comfortable wearing dresses this summer :)

Für mich persönlich ist es sehr schwierig dieses Produkt zu bewerten. Einerseits erfüllt es seinen Soll: die Dinger halten und vermeiden die Reibung der Oberschenkel. Zudem sehen sie wirklich so schick aus. Allerdings hatte ich nach einem ganzen Tag tragen (ca. Sieben Stunden) woanders heftige Schmerzen. An der Grenze zu gewissen Intimstellen habe ich von den Klebestreifen heftige rote Schwellungen bekommen, die stark brennen und genau so schmerzen wie die aneinander reibenden Oberschenkel. Allerdings sind diese mir wirklich lieber statt starke gerötete Schwellungen zu bekommen, die wirklich nicht gesund aussehen. Zu schade, da sie ihren eigentlichen Zweck eigentlich erfüllen, aber gleiches an anderer Stelle hervorrufen..

I did quite a lot of research before settling on this product and the joke's on me really as it turns out they were useless.I've tried a few powders and creams, with little success- this seemed like a sensible alternative.I'm a size 12/14 so I bought a size B, which seemed to fit okay, though there is some slight rolling down at the top once you actually walk.Firstly, the lace fabric completely negates the point of this product. it's the same chafe burn, only now with added friction. Why not just use a solid fabric? Lycra?Secondly, the gummy, stay-up strips that keep the bandalettes in place give you an excellent heat rash which is just not solving the initial problem and adding more besides.At £20 they're not exactly cheap too.A waste of money and a false hope for a perennial problem.

The very first time I wore them I ended up with really horrific chafing all around my thigh from the lace at the edge, which kind of defeated the purpose. I ended up having to wear leggings in 35+ degree heat for the next 3 days of my holiday. I was really disappointed but considering how much I had to pay for these with shipping and everything (plus the fact I was melting in the heat) I decided to give them a second chance. I used a much more moisturising body lotion before wearing them which seemed to fix this problem. However, even now, I do find they start to slip down my thighs and I have to try to discreetly hoosh them up. They fit very closely to my thigh so I don't think the fit is the issue. Wearing them is preferable to the pain of chafing but it gets annoying if I have to constantly fidget with them all day.While the lace is definitely prettier than the plain bands, I think if I was to repurchase I would get the plain band. I think there would be less chance of chafing and it won't show through more fitted clothes as much.Overall, I'm glad I bought these but they are far from perfect.

Bought these for a holiday so I could walk more distance in dresses in the heat. Fit well and sizing is as expected. The rubber/gel lines inside keep them in place and stop them slipping down. They can feel a little strange when first using them, I found, but you soon get used to them and they really do prevent any chafing. Recommend.
