It's official, summer is here! Which means lots of fun hangs with friends and family in the glorious outdoors. But along with sunny days and hot weather comes the dreaded *cue dramatic music* thigh chafing.

Ah, thigh chafing — the sneaky nemesis of every sunny day stroll. One minute you're rocking the cutest summer dress and the next minute your thighs are doing an intense friction dance leaving you hot, irritated, and extra uncomfortable.

It's itchy! It's annoying! It makes you walk funny! Do not recommend.

Enter Knix, Toronto-based brand founded by Joanna Griffiths! They've got the ultimate solution to keep you cool *and* comfortable all summer long: their essential thigh-saving shorts.

Knix

Knix is super popular for their leakproof underwear, which they released in 2013. Since then, they've been a trailblazer in the intimates industry by prioritizing function over frill in all their products. We're here for it.

The Thigh Saver® is the perfect shield from thigh chafe to rock under dresses and skirts.

Knix

The Thigh Saver® comes in six different patterns (black, warm sand, cavassa, sola, sable, and lace peony) with sizes ranging from XS to XXXXL. The model above is wearing warm sand.

The best thing about them? They're made from a really light fabric and they look super smooth — so no one will even know that you're wearing them. (Except for you... you'll know because you will be oh-so-comfortable and free!). This Thigh Saver® will keep you cool all summer long and protect you from sitting on anything gross while you're wearing a dress.
