Thick thighs ruining lives
Hey all ! TLDR at the bottom.
Contrary to popular belief my thick thighs are ruining my life, I work fast food and struggle to find pants that fit. I have to wear black, jeans or slack type material, I was getting Walmart jeggings for $20 but I’m 5”9’ and they didn’t reach my ankles. They also looked terrible around the ankle so I’d always have to cuff them which made them basically capris.
That wasn’t my biggest issue though, my biggest issue was that after 1 week they’d thin out in the crotch area where my thighs rub together, by week two there was holes or it would tear when sitting or standing up, usually right as I stood up to leave 😒
Sometimes when I get dressed there is no hole and by the end of my shift a hole has been worn in my pants and my exposed thigh, from chaffing.
It hurts smh.
I finally took the plunge and spent more hoping to get better quality. Torrid was having a sale on jeans so I bought two pair. I grossly over sized on one pair cause I’d never shopped torrid or any plus size retailer and I don’t know what size I am in there brand, I always have to sew darts into my pants anyways so I figured I could do that if the waist didn’t fit, I just by God needed something that would give me some room in between my thighs so that I’m not wearing them out in a month.
I spent about 75 on two pairs, after discounts and what not. I got a size 4x of the bombshell lean jean and a 6x in the 90s wide leg jean or whatever. I did select the tall option for the inseam length.
The 4x were tight, it was hard to sit down but when I put them on for the first time they looked soooooo good. Because of wearing cheap Walmart jeans I forgot how good a good pair of jeans can shape and contour. I loved them and got compliments but they were what I like to call “standing jeans” not “sit down jeans”
The 6x were fucking HUGE I couldn’t even keep them on and the pant legs were like 6 inches too long lolll
I never got into altering the 6x, typing this I think I’ll make that my next project cause I hated them so much that they are dam near still brand new lol some darts and a hem trim I could have some cute jeans, but since we’ve switched to black jeans I wouldn’t be able to wear them at work now smh.
Anyways, I’m looking for suggestions. I have to patch my most recent pair or $50 after discounts torrid pants cause they wore out after about 3 months so much longer then Walmart but still disappointing.
I’m thinking maybe scrubs? Or something like that, I’d like something flattering but stretchy enough I can squat down and clean the dam baseboards without ripping my pants smh.
TLDR: big thighs keep wearing holes in even the most expensive of pants, looking for alternatives that allow for maximum movement, stretch, coverage, and slay💅.
Something that won’t have me chaffing in a month.
