You guys will know!! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

โ€ข9 Replies

Ok young person went to Thailand and rode a scooter ~ subsequently had an accident ~ lost most of skin on both legs, which of course became infected ๐Ÿ˜ฎ (Nope you can't put an old head on young shoulders) Now most of the skin has healed but it's overly sensitive, clothes on their legs hurt. This person lives in a very cold part of Australia (it's across from Antarctica) What do you wear in the UK when it's ridiculously cold???

Hot pants?

Sorry - couldn't resist that.

I'm in NZ at present where it's midwinter , and the guys wear shorts. Crazy!

Is silk out for a covering? It would be very sheer and gentle? I'm sure you have tried everything. Really sorry for your situation. I hope someone comes up with a better solution.

Cheers.

That's soo cute ๐Ÿ˜Š Apparently that's what she is wearing and just turning the heater up! ! I will recommend silk to her ~ Thank you!! ๐Ÿ˜„

Thermals are very soft if your friends legs are moisturised they may not stick or scrape to badly, and will certainly keep them warm, maybe a few sizes to big-so they are not to fitted.๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Š

I live in the far north of Scotland..... so very cold at times up here....and I would recommend fine silk as a thermal under layer. Should be gentle enough? Hope you find something to help :)

Thank you Shawnie, silk is a great idea, will definitely pass this on, thank you :)

Hi, just an idea, and you would have to check with a chemist or GP, but you can get anti chaff cream which helps prevent soreness and rubbing.

Maybe worth finding out.

Good luck.
