[EllaMidlands]

ohh i know what you are talking about. the buuurnnnn i've got a nasty one this summer when wearing the wet board-shorts. :/

Hi kirstij Aw I cudnt actually tell you the last I wore a skirt. Oh yes I can it was 2011 after I'd lost over 6 stone. Not had one on since. I have 3 stones and 10 pounds to lose.

I was going to say I hadn't worn a skirt this side of the millennium, but thinking about it, I think I have worn one a bit more recently than that, but I used to wear leggings underneath as I'm not flexible enough to get into tights. I still have the skirt, maybe I'll wear it again when I've shrunk enough.

Talcum powder works a treat

[ArgyllGirl Healthy BMI in reply to Fizzylizzy13]

Or a little cream / moisturiser, like Nivea or even vaseline. Soothes and stops the chaffing. I wear skirts for work sometimes, especially if I am somehere hot, as they are cooler. Am I the only one still wearing skirts occassionally? I must be a dinosaur ! Though for everyday use at home it is definitely stretch jeans as the best option for me ( and no chaffing!)

Be wary using talc in that region as apparently it can lead to cervical cancer Just meant to be a helpful warning

[Fizzylizzy13 in reply to shengorth]

Never been that high up the thigh. Mine must touch further down than most

[KirstiJ in reply to shengorth]

Oooooh sorry to be a preachy pain, but there's very little evidence to suggest that's true. Previously when talc contained asbestos there was some slight risk, but there's very little valid evidence to suggest it's true of modern talcum. I'm CRUK's senior research nurse at The Beatson in Glasgow so deal with lots of similar myths every day.

[shengorth 3lbs in reply to KirstiJ]

Thank you but I personally wont be taking any chances x

[KirstiJ in reply to shengorth]

I very rarely use talc anywhere, let alone 'down there'!
