- Hey everyone.
Welcome back to my channel.
I'm Hannah Witton
and today I'm with my friend Sierra.
- Hi.
I'm so excited to be here.
Well, I guess you're here.
- I'm here in your house.
We're in San Diego
and I thought we would do this video together
where we test different chub rub products.
So anti-chafing products
because we are both people with thighs
that do the rubbing.
And oh boy.
I've had some serious hard times
where I've been in excruciating pain
and have not had a product on me to help.
And I had to go into a pharmacy in Spain
and in broken Spanish and English
try and be like I need something,
my thighs are rubbing together
and it really hurts.
- See, I have had thick thighs that rub together
since puberty,
since I was like 12
and I have never found a real solution.
So I'm hoping that one of these
will become my new solution.
- So we're gonna go through each of these
and then Sierra took me out to San Diego
and showed me around
'cause I've never been here before
as we tried out all these different products.
So the first product we tried
was this specifically branded anti-chafing gel.
It comes in a little tiny tube
and you just apply it onto your thighs.
(upbeat music)
- Let's see if we can make that a little more comfortable.
Apply it to both?
It feels smooth,
it feels soft.
It almost feels like a lotion,
like I feel like I might apply this here
just to moisturise my legs.
(upbeat music)
- Lift up the dress in public, it's fine,
rubbing it on my thighs.
- [Sierra] It feels good so far
but then I've got sticky hands.
- It's not sticky
'cause it's not like,
but it's like Vaseline.
There's something on it
and it's like soft.
Did you ever do that thing when you were a kid
and there would be like walls of buildings
with like lots of rocks on
and you'd rub your hands up and down them
and then when you touched your hands together,
it was like really, really soft.
- Nope. - Nope, okay.
That's what it feels like.
- It feels a little bit wet,
like it almost feels like I just got out of the pool
and then I'm waiting for it to dry.
- Maybe you put too much on
'cause mine doesn't feel wet.
(upbeat music)
- See, I love these shorts
but the chafing is so bad I rarely wear them.
- Well, we're gonna solve that problem today.
- If this works,
I'm gonna be so happy
'cause there are so many shorts I have
that I never wear
because it's just uncomfortable.
(upbeat music)
- So I'm already feeling it wear off.
- Really?
- But I don't know if that's just
'cause I've been moving my legs a lot.
- Okay, let's walk down a little bit more to the beach
and I want to see if mine starts to wear off
'cause I do think I applied more than you.
- Beach.
- You know, it is wearing off.
I mean I can already feel it dried on my hands.
So that's kind of like an indicator
of that it's like, it's wearing off.
- I'm chafing.
- I am chafing and there's nothing in between,
there is no chafing gel left.
- No, no, we're done.
It ran out.
This is the one that until now
I have been using whenever I've needed
to sort out my chafing.
We're gonna rate these.
- Out of thighs.
- Out of five thighs.
So how many thighs would you give the anti-chafing gel?
- And thighs is good, right?
Like five thighs is the goal.
- You want lots of thighs.
- Lots of thighs.
So I would give this a, honestly,
I'm gonna give this a four out of five thighs
because it works great
as long as you're okay with reapplying it.
- Yeah and I think I would give it
four out of five thighs as well
because if I hadn't have done this experiment,
I would probably just keep using this
and I would be more than happy with that.
Number two was some baby powder or talc powder
and this is actually like the travel size.
- Which is convenient, like you said,
goes in your handbag.
- [Hannah] Talc time.
Oh God. - Oh gosh,
angle it.
- [Hannah] Oh my God.
Okay so this actually I'm worried about
because I feel like,
at least I could hide it--
- Yeah.
I'm gonna have white thighs.
- [Hannah] Yeah, that's what I think might just happen.
- Look at that.
Get a close up shot of that beauty right there.
But I'm afraid if I rub it in too much,
does that defeat the purpose?
- [Hannah] Yeah, doesn't it?
It isn't obvious, to be honest.
- Really, it's not obvious, Hannah?
- Do you know what?
That is already soothing the chafing from before.
- [Sierra] I know.
- See?
Can you see that red on the camera?
- [Sierra] Yeah.
- That is my chafing from before.
The talc smells really good.
- It does.
We've got slushies.
- Oh yeah, yeah that's my slushie.
Yeah.
(upbeat music)
So how is it doing for you?
- So I don't think I covered
the whole area that I chafe in
because the baby powder is hard to apply in the right spot.
It kind of goes all over.
So I do think a missed a little bit of a spot.
But I'm definitely appreciating the change
in that the last one felt a little moist
and this one is very dry.
And when I'm chafing and it's hot
I want dry 'cause I'm sweating.
- I kind of feel like I'm still chafing
in that bit where I was chafing before
but I don't know whether that's just because like
you know when you've already chafed and--
- There's no going back.
- Yeah.
We're only on number two
and it's just like well shit,
I'm doomed, my thighs are doomed.
So I've found it to be quite steady.
For me it hasn't deteriorated yet.
- That's what I was gonna say
is the first one I felt it wearing off.
This one it has not worn off.
Also the white appearance wore off very, very quickly.
My thighs are white
but that is just my skin.
- How did you find the powder?
- You know the powder to me
was kind of the opposite idea of the gel
being that it was very, very, very dry
and the idea being that if you don't sweat,
if there's no moisture,
there will be chub
but there won't be any friction with the rub.
And I found it worked.
I didn't really like how white it made my thighs.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was wearing a dress so I was fine.
I think I would give this three out of five thighs.
- I'll give this three and a half
because it lasted so much longer
than the gel.
And number three, we had coconut oil.
This was not as solidified as it is now.
- No, it completely melted.
(upbeat music)
Coconut oil.
Already from touching this part
my hands are sticky.
Yeah.
We're gonna do some walking around the gardens
with our oily thighs.
- Main difference is
the oil has leaked onto my shorts.
So my shorts,
'cause it's on my thighs
but then my thighs touch my shorts.
So none of the other chafing products
have gotten on my shorts
but the oil is like,
my shorts are oily,
I have oily shorts.
- So for me it's working,
I'm not chafing right now.
But I can really feel that my thighs like sliding
and it's sticky.
- It's similar to the chafing gel
but this is more sticky.
- [Hannah] Oh yeah, how's that chafing?
- It's nonexistent,
it's good, it's good.
(upbeat music)
So this one stops the chafing
but it makes it uncomfortable in a different way.
The oily feeling I just don't like.
I wouldn't choose this product for myself
over like the deodorant or the gel
or even the baby powder.
I'd honestly say,
this one, yeah it's the most--
- Effective.
- This one, I would say yeah,
it's the most effective
but it's my least favourite. - It swings so far
in a different direction.
'Cause I'm now aware of my thighs in a different way,
whereas with the deodorant
I just forgot about them.
- Do I have thighs?
I couldn't tell.
Now I'm like, oh, I have thighs and they're wet.
The idea with chub rub products
is you're usually using them in the summer in the heat
and is this is gonna melt
really whenever you're using it.
- It was so messy.
It worked though.
It stopped the chub rub.
- And it did moisturise your thighs along the way.
- But no thanks.
- And it was so uncomfortable.
- I'm gonna give coconut oil two out of five thighs.
- That's what I was gonna say as well,
two out of five thighs.
- I mean it still works
and coconut oil is good for other things though.
- Yeah, if you already have it in your bag
and you're like stranded,
this is a good thing
that you could probably pick up anywhere
and just rub it all over.
- True.
- But the next one actually probably more convenient
than coconut oil, deodorant.
- Deodorant.
Roll on deodorant.
Okay, we're in Balboa now
and right, let's do this,
let's roll some deodorant onto my thighs.
Ooh, that's already like just soothing,
soothing the chafing.
Don't mind me.
We're just testing chub rub products.
- [Female] Oh, how is it working out?
- Yeah, yeah, roll on deodorant,
so far, so good, yeah.
Right cool.
You're like a magician.
Oh, look at that.
- That is soothing.
Ooh.
- That stuff's been on my armpits.
(upbeat music)
So far the deodorant is my favourite.
But I also think it might be because
it actually applied it right up to my neckline this time
because that's where I've been chafing.
- I think the deodorant dries your skin out
the way that the baby powder does
but lets it glide,
like lets your thighs glide together
the way the gel did.
So it's kind of like the best of both worlds right now
and I'm kind of loving it.
- I'm into it, I'm into it
and also like I already on deodorant.
- Yeah, you don't have to buy anything.
- This is my favourite.
- Yeah.
This was great.
Again, never really thought about it,
like almost forgot while we were walking around
that we were filming for your video
'cause it just felt so comfortable.
- And there was something about
rubbing deodorant onto my thigh
that was pleasing.
- I'm gonna give it four and a half out of five thighs.
- Yeah, do I give it five?
I think yeah, it's only downfall
is that I wouldn't take this out and about
in my bag with me.
- Yeah.
- 4.5 thighs.
So the next one is a product
that everyone has usually
and that is Vaseline.
The kind of Vaseline I had was rosy lips one
so it was bright pink.
Rosy lips.
- [Sierra] Rosy thighs, am I right ladies?
- Oh yeah.
I immediately hate this.
Immediately I'm just like this is wrong.
- Okay.
Feels similar to the coconut oil putting it on.
(upbeat music)
Yep, oh my gosh, I hate it.
I hate it so much, I hate it.
- [Hannah] We just wiped our hands.
So wouldn't recommend pink Vaseline.
- I think my face is just gonna be stuck like this
until I wipe it off.
I'm so uncomfortable.
10 times worse than the oil
with double the chaf.
There's no upside to this.
- The upside is the view.
That is the upside.
(upbeat music)
I feel like I have to actually like
walk a bit like this
so that my thighs are literally not touching.
- I feel like I need to like aerate out
because it's so gross.
This is by far the worst.
- I hate it.
- So what you haven't seen yet
is in between trying the different products
we are just using the wipes,
wiping it off.
Ooh, this Vaseline is thick.
- I also hated this.
- This to me was by far the worst.
- I'm gonna give this,
wait, is it worse than the coconut oil?
Probably.
- For me it was.
I'm actually gonna give this one out of five thighs.
I would rather have chub rub than wear this.
I would rather just have nothing on
and just be like well,
I'm gonna get a rash. - And just waddling
with your thighs really far apart,
just like no, I just won't let my thighs touch.
Yeah, one thigh.
- One thigh.
Oh, it's the wild card.
This is true to your channel.
- We tried lube.
- Lube.
- Lubey lube lube lube.
(upbeat music)
Wild card, lube.
I don't think this is actually recommended for chafing
but it's recommended for avoiding friction
with other things.
So let's see.
Oh wow.
One, that is super cool, it's really nice
but holy shit,
there's so much of it.
It's actually like wet.
You know like how with a lot of the other ones
they like rubbed in.
This isn't gonna rub in
because the point is that it doesn't rub in.
That's the whole point of lube.
It feels like I peed myself.
- Lube meet thighs.
- [Hannah] Lube meet thighs,
thighs meet lube.
- [Sierra] How much did you use?
I feel like I should use a little less than you did.
- That looks good. - Is that good?
Oh, it is cooling.
Especially after my thighs rubbing together all day
I feel like this is kind of a nice end of the day thing,
cool your thighs down.
Not sure how it's gonna feel walking though.
Oh, it does feel like you peed your pants.
Especially in the shorts,
it's like getting on my shorts in the crotch.
So it really feels like it.
(upbeat music)
- We've started walking.
- Mine has dried up a little bit.
Yours hasn't?
- No, mine is like,
it's just like it doesn't work.
- Yeah, I'm chafing already
because it's dry but it feels wet
which is kind of the worst thing.
You want it to be wet but feel dry
and this is the opposite and it's not great.
Now I feel like I'm hating this less than you.
To me this is a significant improvement from Vaseline.
Yes, it's wet but it's also cool,
it doesn't feel as sticky.
It just is kind of like letting my thighs rub together.
So it's not stopping the chub rub
but it's better than the Vaseline for sure.
- Fair.
It didn't work.
- Nope.
- It's not for your thighs.
- Nope. - That's all we'll say.
- To me, the lube, better than Vaseline.
I'm gonna give it one and a half thighs
because I just, I could not get past the Vaseline.
It was also kind of funny
slapping on lube onto our thighs in public.
- In the middle of the,
surrounded by people.
1.5 thighs. - Oh, you give it the same?
- Yeah, why not?
1.5 thighs out of five thighs.
And then the final product is these bad boys.
Look how silly they look.
- See, this is the only chafing product
that I love and use
but I can't wear it with shorts.
- I've never tried it before.
So Sierra has changed into a dress for this one
because what is our chafing product?
- Oh wait, there we are, biker shorts.
- This is my first time wearing these.
I never wear them.
- This is my current go-to.
I don't have a good product for shorts
but with dresses, it's just biker shorts all day, every day.
You know why?
You don't have to reapply.
If you get a good pair,
you never really have to pull them up or readjust,
they just kind of stay
and they don't show.
No one sees it
and there's no chance of missing a spot.
It just is.
- It's just there.
I'm enjoying it
but also like so I'm wearing a just above the knee dress
for me
but a lot of my other dresses are much shorter.
- That's one of the issues.
So like I wear a lot of Maxi dresses like this
so it's not really an issue 'cause it's long
but I have had some instances
where I wear dressed that are kind of on the borderline
of being too short
and I see the bottom of my biker shorts
peeking out a little bit.
- But also meh. - Who cares?
(upbeat music)
- I like how much I'm not aware of them.
(upbeat music)
- Double bonus of bike shorts,
let's say a nice gust of wind comes in
and blows up your dress.
You're covered.
- Oh my God, that happens to me all the time genuinely.
- [Sierra] Another great bonus,
if you stumble upon a cycling class,
you're ready to go.
- Ready, ready.
I don't know why I've never done it before
because these were my favourite.
I think I'm sold
but like you said, if your dress is shorter
or you're wearing shorts,
then you need an alternative.
But I have actually been wearing these all day today
and it's fantastic.
So I would be giving these five out of five thighs.
- I will as well,
yeah, five thighs. - Amazing.
I feel like I now have a new chub rub routine.
- As do I.
I think for me,
the clear winner for shorts is deodorant.
- Yes.
- And for me also the clear winner for dresses
is bike shorts.
- Yes.
But for me, I would,
on a day wearing shorts or a shorter dress,
I would put deodorant on just before leaving the house,
leave the deodorant at home
and take with me the gel out and about.
So as soon as I need to reapply
I would just get the gel out and reapply.
- You know what,
I think that is the winner.
That's the routine.
It's shorts in the dress
and then it's deodorant at first
and then reapplying the gel.
- So what we're telling you
is that in order to avoid chub rub you need three products.
At least with how we want to do it.
I already own gel
and now I own these
and obviously I already have deodorant
'cause I use that every day.
So I feel like I'm on for a winner.
Also, I don't live in a very hot country
most of the time.
- Yeah, whereas for me in San Diego,
I mean in the winter it gets to maybe 65 so.
- I don't know what that means.
- Neither do most of you.
- What does that mean? - What did we figure out
the translation was?
- Wait, what was it yesterday?
- It was 65.
- So 19 degrees.
But I get chub rub in 19 degrees.
- Yeah and that's like winter here.
Yeah, I wear shorts in like December.
- Why do I live in London?
So those were our reviews of some chub rub products.
I love that chub rub is used in the UK and in the US.
I was not expecting that.
- I thought you were gonna have a different name for it
and then when you said chub rub,
I was like, I know exactly
what that is. - Chub rub.
We also did a video over on Sierra's channel
where we try on different swimsuits and bikinis.
So you should definitely go and check that out.
Please give this video a thumbs up
if you enjoyed it
and let us know in the comments
how you deal with chub rub.
- I'm actually really excited
to read through these comments
because like I said,
I'm still on the hunt.
If there is like one product
that can cover all of these,
that would be amazing.
I'm sure it doesn't exist.
So one of you create it.
Yeah, having a thigh gap.
Never gonna happen.
- Never.
Make sure you subscribe
because I make new videos every week.
And I'll see you in the next one.
Bye. - Bye.
