But over the hot summer I experienced that embarrassing feeling of thigh chafe. Ouch!   Not a pleasant feeling, and I was worried people thought I was waddling like a duck while wearing my dresses, trying to avoid that uncomfortable sticky sweat and thigh rub. Ewww…

Now as embarrassing as that feeling was, I knew I wasn’t alone! Many women, all over the world, suffer from thigh rub. That saying “My thighs are so sexy, they can’t stop touching each other”, that’s me; my thighs have always touched, even as a size 8-10 in my early twenties and it seems Lisa the creator of Miss Monroes felt the same.

Lisa created her lingerie for thighs purely out of need… After trying other options on the market, including shape-wear to bike shorts, nothing felt right and so she found someone to teach her how to sew, and made her first lingerie for thighs. From there, after many years research and development and with the help of said lovely sewing teacher (who now is the manufacturer for Miss Monroes along with her team), Lisa’s everyday ‘essential wear’ business was created. Lisa says “Creating Miss Monroes has been about so much more than the designs. It’s been an incredible journey where I’ve learned so much about self-acceptance, creativity, body kindness and, most importantly, my passion for empowering women to embrace their shape.”

Let me reassure you, Miss Monroes are NOT shape-wear. These are made from a beautifully comfortable, lightweight fabric that is so soft and breathable (even on the hottest of days). They feature a special non ride-up design, come in different colour-ways with luxe lace trims, plus you can choose the appropriate length to suit your body shape and wardrobe needs. Added bonus is you’re supporting a local business, Miss Monroes are designed and made right here in Australia.

The fit is ultra comfortable! I did all my measurements before placing my order, just to be sure, and my waist measurements sat between the 14-16 guidelines, so as per Miss Monroes suggestion I down-sized to the 12-14’s and was not disappointed. I like a higher rise in the waist so have gone with that on all my pairs however I did try out both lengths on the leg which has meant I can mix it up depending on my dress lengths and how much coverage I need.

I just love my lingerie for thighs, they are so soft and comfortable while giving me that reassurance against thigh chafe, a touch of modesty, with a boost of confidence whilst feeling fabulous in all my dresses!

As Lisa say’s….

Love THIGH-self ladies!
