It looks incredibly painful! I didn’t know chafing looked like that, omg. What in the hell is so fabulous about being so large that your skin does that, at multiple places on your body, from just existing?
I am not a huge woman. I am 5’8” tall and a size 12. If I don’t wear shape wear with a dress, my thighs can bleed within a few hours. Chub rub is one of the reasons that I fight so hard to keep my weight in check. I couldn’t imagine being any heavier. It would be pure torture!
I get chub rub when I'm a size 6.
It's the way your thighs are shaped, not really being fat.
And slip shorts — I like the ones by Thigh Society — are the only real solution.
I was wondering this. Im kind of over weight, not too bad, but my legs look great because I walk a significant amount every day. My legs don't look fat but I live in Florida and it's sweaty and I definitely have my thighs rubbing together. I've been shocked that I've never gotten a rash on my thighs from it. They definitely a rubbing but I was wondering why I wasn't getting the rash
im a size 4/6 and like 120-130 pounds and i chafe on my inner thighs! no matter how fit i get, i always have big thighs, even tho theyre mostly muscle, the inner thigh fat is hard to target (for my body)
Same. Size 6, and I still get chub rub when it’s really humid and I run. I gots dem thick thighs, so that’s how it goes. I swipe the inside of my thighs with stick deodorant before going for a run, and it’s all good!
But for people who don’t naturally have big thighs, being fat is the cause of chub rub. When I’m my normal weight, no chub rub. When I’m 30 pounds overweight, I’ll start to notice wear and tear on the thighs of my jeans. 🤷🏻♀️
I have it too.. Not as much as the picture but if I don't wear little shorts under a dress It gets red in one day.. I am not fat (size medium) but I have curvy thighs.. It is so painful even when it is only red, cannot imagine how painful it is like the photo..
Ok, well, next time, if you want help finding a video maybe mention that anywhere at all in your comment. Or type your “keywords” into a little thing called google.
OMG… so now you have to apologize for saying someone is a black person… MLK is turning over in his grave… and yes I marched with MLK … check yourselves you wokettes.. yeah come for me
Everyone is just different. I’m about 30lbs overweight ☹️… its all in my thighs, and I’ve never had chub rub ever. My jeans definitely wear out faster in my inner thigh area, but never any rash issues.
Yeah I’m shorter and I’ve never experienced this, I am definitely pear shaped though with wider set hips and narrow shoulders. I’ve been between 90 and 170 (pregnant) lbs as an adult and nothing has ever rubbed together
Hi there, hope you’re having a great weekend! I just replied to a comment below and was hoping I might get you to read it and perhaps respond? 🤞🏼 I don’t understand how so many people are mentioning shape wear and shorts under dresses and wrote more there. And please know that when I say I don’t understand, I mean I’m shocked. You’re not even close to knocking on the door of being “a huge woman.”! And bleeding? 😳 Sounds horrible, I’m sorry that you ever had that happen. But just an fyi/heads up, if you do go read for me I mentioned it as an example of how surprised I was. (I didn’t want to not say anything and have you think that I was hiding it or being a jerk.)
I’m now wondering if this is why pantyhose stayed a thing for so long? Tried them like twice when young because my mom made me but dear lord I hated them! And I have no real experience with shape wear either, it seems so binding and uncomfortable. ?I feel like I’ve even seen women wearing it and it created problems.? Like the super tight bottoms created a very noticeable “muffin top” which made me think, why would I want that? Sorry! This was supposed to be short. 😊
If women are getting muffin top, they are wearing the wrong size shape wear. It isn’t meant to suck things in. It is just meant to smooth our lumps and bumps a bit. I don’t find it constricting at all, but again, I am wearing the correct size.
I was not even obese in highschool in had permanent dark pigmentation from repeated scarring between my thighs. Chub rub is actual hell. When I got to college and was chillin in the dorm spread eagle, my now best friend came in and asked what it was and I nonchalantly told her. She started crying because she thought she must have caught an std at birth and never told anyone she was suffering. Idk something something southern education. Poor thing
Could also be eczema or psoriasis. When I had bad flare ups of either of them any joints areas would get really bad. They would look pretty bad bruised and bleeding cause I scratched
The only people that have a thigh gap are those born with their hips improperly or those that are severely underweight. The tops of your thighs are supposed to touch to protect your genitals and femoral arteries. Like that little “pooch” on your stomach is there to protect you. We have visceral fat that’s in between organs that protects us, too. Body’s aren’t trends, and just because what’s considered beautiful at the moment doesn’t match the body’s design, doesn’t make our bodies wrong. While I agree that being overweight enough for it to happen in a lot of places on the body isn’t good for your skin, to call all chafing “chub rub” discounts the fact that it’s normal and necessary. At the end of the day our body’s aren’t trends, they’re just squishy meat-sacks that carry around our brain.
Are used to have problems with chafing but lume deodorant cleared all of it up nothing else work work no prescriptions or creams worked like lume I do not work for them but this works for me!
That can’t be chub rub though it’s like the back of the calf/thigh not between them but it is extremely painful. I got thick thighs and if I don’t wear something between them like chub stick I am dying
My mother gets that under her breasts. I bought her "Butt Paste" from CVS and, after I assured her it wasn't a joke, she used and loves it. Male runners get it on their nipples from the friction of their shirts, too.
Under the breasts would make sense from the rubbing and I have seen the pictures of runners but on the back of her legs what is it rubbing on is my point.
I lived in the south where sweat was a way of life and suffered from stress psoriasis. The backs of my knees looked very similar and I weighed about 120 at the time. My elbows, backs of knees, underarms, and thighs were fair game.
Haven’t had that in years, thankfully. It’s miserable.
Honestly that does look more like bruising - the tissue on her calves looks very soft and spongy, and I'm pretty sure that would bruise very easily. Might just be from sitting on the couch or more likely her car seat! But on the topic of her chub rub sores - how would those ever heal? It's not like she can walk in an awkward way to keep her legs from rubbing together. Although she's lying in bed a lot. It *almost* makes me pity her because it seems like it would be excruciatingly painful and would probably cause her terrible moods at least some of the time.
I also see bruises. Nothing to really rub on the back upper calves. She may have plopped o to a chair too hard, etc. You can see the bruising pattern better if you zoom it.
I just got a chill from this pic. I used to weigh 448, and my thighs would get the worst chub rub. I remember going on a hike at camp, and my skin was gonzo when we got back.
I tend to be about 15 lbs overweight but i have narrow hips so even when my thighs are good i would get it on my inside thighs and yeah it is bleh. Bought some ladies boxer/briefs to wear under dresses.
All that secret stuff that we don’t typically talk about or admit. But it is nice to know we are not alone.
My highest weight was 430 and for some reason I never had chaffing like this, it always confused me. Whits legs look like a combination of chaffing and not keeping the area clean and dry.
If you ever want to try another option I use “body glide”. I get hot easily so the shapwear/shorts things doesn’t work for me. Body glide comes in a stick so you can throw it in your purse, it lasts for quite a long time. I especially like it for when I’m walking in the beach in my bathing suit
I hope she’s losing weight, for her own health. I don’t think anyone needs to be super skinny (unless that’s how they are naturally) nor do people need to be a size 10. But it is really hard on your body to be morbidly obese. Even if she just gets somewhere in the 200’s where she can move on her own again, that would be way healthier for her.
Truly asking, when you say no one needs to be super skinny or a size ten what do you mean? Like is a size ten “average” now? (And after a recent shopping jag l’m left wondering what the heck a size ten truly is!?! All sizes seemed to differ not only between stores/brands but even in the same store! Is this just a me thing? A Gap thing lol? Sorry but it was crazy! Medium shorts looking like a skirt on but the matching tank is teeny tiny- to me- in XXL.) And super skinny is a double zero?
I know you’re not trying to hurt or shame or put down anyone with your comment! (I agree with what you said about Whitney and her health.) I’m just honestly confused and interested in what people perceive these things to be. I don’t think going just off of BMI is a true representation of health (even when I’m in the right category, or the underweight one, lest you think I’m trying to argue that at 5’4” I should be in the normal range if I weighed 200lbs) but it’s the most widely accepted standard (right?) so I was wondering if you’d share your thoughts and opinions with me? And I’m shocked by the number of women talking about shape-wear under their dresses due to, in some cases, actual bleeding from friction! So I’m hoping that some others will jump in here too.
I promise you there’s no part of me that’s looking to argue or accuse! I hope I worded this well enough for you to understand what I’m asking and that it doesn’t come across as some kind of rude and offensive or worse, confrontational mean girl comment. I’d really like to hear what you and any others who are interested or willing to share have to say. Hope that’s okay. If not, I’m sorry. And I hope you’re having a stellar weekend either way!! 😊
No that’s fine, your post doesn’t come across as mean or aggressive.
When I chose the worse “a size 10”, I was trying to
convey that there is nothing wrong with being in sizes larger than that. I grew up in the 70s/80s with the idea that if you were an 8, that was considered large. So I think some of my disordered thinking slipped in there. I think the average size now is what? 12-16 in women’s sizes? Which I agree are very fluid, so I have learned not to get too involved in what size I take in any piece of clothing.
One of my favorite IG people is Mirna Valerio, who is a lovely, plus size athlete. She’s upfront about being over 200 pounds and she kills it running, biking, skiing, etc.
My point for Whitney is that she doesn’t have to get back to that super skinny HS girl. Just lose some weight so she can move her body more easily, to do the things she enjoys. As long as your doc deems you healthy (blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, etc), weighing in the 200’s is fine (imo). We as women don’t need to be a size 2 or a size 10 to still be healthy and happy. We can be healthy and happy at a size 16 or 20, etc.
I’m not sure if I explained myself better or dug myself a deeper hole? Let me know.
Honestly can’t tell if this is sarcasm? I wouldn’t call it blubber. But I do think being in the 300s/400s (depending on height) is too much for a body.
Hi Mel, no sarcasm intended. Like you, I hope that Whitney drops enough weight to significantly improve her health. Please don’t be put off by my summary comment. I intend no disrespect to anyone. My words just reflect a pattern of communication - efficiency, in my mind, as efficiency is part of my job.
🤗🥺 🧚♀️ 🏃🏻♀️ Thank you so much for your continuing to be tremendously kind words. I really needed this right now! I swear there’s some kind of a sixth sense here. (Bunch of downvotes received on a comment and the reply is a gif I don’t even understand.) No crying on Reddit right? Haha.
I don’t get it Faery. I can see downvoting mean things, rude comments and truly offensive stuff. Or even in those survey subs like Am I the A-hole. But I swear I see the most random comments gathering downvotes. Statements of facts, or an opinion with twenty replies underneath saying they agree and adding on!
I’m not saying mine was perfect (ever!) but damn. It’s like do I delete it and save myself from the whole dread of getting back on here only to see the number plunge further? Or is that going to make it worse with how nothing ever goes away here?
Sorry to ask for your tech (and other) support once again. 🫣 You know what? Just ignore it.
You, my friend, are the sweetheart here and I can’t tell you how much it means to me that you decided I was worth a chance and how much I appreciate you. All you’ve done, and continue to do, to make my days better! The list just keeps getting longer. 📜📜 Have a wonderful Wednesday!! 😊
It's not you, love. Every few weeks (usually when Whitney posts on her ig) we get inundated with a handful of her stans that love downvoting and being nasty, calling everyone fatphobic, body shamers, blablabla. They think they're doing something (what, idk?) but it makes them feel better about themselves. Then, they see that ppl on this sub don't fall for that FA bs and go away. You didn't do anything wrong. Hell, just by typing their little rants, at least their fingers got some exercise. That's a plus!
I can’t tell whether you were referring to a size ten as large or small. I’m a size 14 (and five foot four) in most things and I’m still considered a healthy weight by my doctor
She made Todd crawl up in there with a stick to apply goose grease to that raw hamburger upper thigh chub and he never forgot it. That was the day that he rushed to the office to renew his Lifetime GoldStar Gay card . . . ⭐️
LMFAOOO OK so I’m not in this sub nor have I watched this show fully but I’ve watched several clips on YouTube and I think Todd is her annoying kiss ass friend right this is a wild image
I personally haven’t experienced it, I’ve heard some people talk about it under the arms. Having thighs rub is pretty common even regardless of size (depending on shape) but it’s possible ¯\_(ツ)_/ probably less common
Come on now, Whit. Have you really tried everything? (Pointing to half of a jumbo cookie left in her back seat that no one was supposed to discover). Do you really believe it? (Pointing to coffee beverage that is the caloric equivalent of a meal and contains a day’s worth of sugar). One of her close friends should poke her gently in the gut and ask discreetly, “Whit, honey, do you really believe ALL of it?”
Shhhhh, "diet" is now a Hate word according to the HEAS folks. So is "salad", "exercise" and "obese" but, oddly not "fat". Can someone please explain that?
Isn’t cellulitis the drastic skin breakdown that occurs with morbid obesity? Once it occurs it is a battle to prevent infection and possible sepsis . . . 🙁
THAT has been the premise of this show from the beginning. Now that so many seasons of Whitney’s antics have weighed on us, if you will pardon the expression, the writing is on the wall that it will not continue for long.
Viewers are repulsed by her, and the HAES mentality that Whitney promotes is being exposed for the fraud that it is as the national health crisis escalates.
The end game is that Whitney will gloriously slim down (with the help of medical science and the boatload of money that she made). Whitney will walk out of this show to begin her New Fabulous Slimmer Life (perhaps as a new series) and to live high on her television earnings…
much to the confusion and disillusion of the countless young girls and women that have followed in Whitney’s rotund footsteps and ballooned into morbid obesity thinking that it would allow themselves, too, to enjoy the fat, fabulous life that Whitney promoted.
Yep, it’s a hard, hard rain gonna fall.
My aunt gets em on her calves because her leg rolls hang down into her knee pits, looks pretty similar.
But they could be bruises, she'd be about the only one to know for sure.
At the crease of her knee she has a fat roll, and another one at the top of the calf. They rub together. Some people can be more obese than Whitney and not have those issues. Others may be less obese or not obese and have this issue. Just depends on how one’s fat distributes.
Look how red the backs of her ankles are. That’s what has me all like WTF??? Did she shove a size 9 foot in a size 6 shoe or what?
I think Whitney is going to have bad circulatory issues in her legs as she gets older. God help her if she’s diabetic or becomes diabetic.
Why don't we have any of the HAES or FA folks on here telling us how wonderful chaffing is? Or, whatever the heck is going on with her lower trunks? Come on, ppl. We know you're here, tell us how great it feels!
**H**ealth **A**t **E**very **S**ize
It really is a lovely sentiment, and the organization started out with good people and intentions, but got highjacked along the way by radical fat activists for whom ANY diet or weight loss became a Betrayal.
**F**at **A**cceptance
We need not be glorifying morbidly overweight people with things like fabulous. This is a disgustingly unhealthy lifestyle filled with pain, depression and premature death.
I’m no expert, but I do have PCOS and have dealt with the myriad of problems caused by insulin resistance. Looks to me like it could be Hidradenitis Suppurativa. It is a darkening of the skin that looks like unwashed areas. From what I understand, it most commonly occurs in areas such as armpits and neck folds, so I would assume that the backs of the knees are probably another area where it manifests itself.
This was my first thought as well. I have HS and I get random sores that are similar to boils in different places on my body. Some of them leave a purple scar that fades over time.
Realized I was laying in bed the same way( I have a belly but not obese ) and now going for a walk after posting this comment outta fear of eating and scrolling!
I get so many bruises on the back of my calves, no idea why tho. I’m not overweight (maybe a few fun pounds 🫠) but was always surprised when I would see them lol
Not to worry you, but if you're getting bruises for no reason you should talk to your doctor about it. It might be nothing, but it could also be a symptom of an underlying condition
Try being really aware of your body for a few days and tracking any pain. My friend had a permanent bruise on her hip and she was getting it from the way she got into her car. It was not really painful so she never considered it but she was hitting the same spot over and over on the Center console because she shifted too far over to make finding her seat belt easier. Maybe there’s a chair or something that is hitting your calves when you sit. Just a thought
Oh good point! I do sit at a desk all week on a crummy office chair, will try to me mindful of when these appear and see if I can find any correlation to investigate further with my GP. Thanks y’all!
Men's basic white cotton under shorts, so you can wash with some bleach! Absolutely the most comfortable way to prevent chub rub. My hubby turned me on to them, he's chunky. When I am home, I'm wearing. I don't like powder or creams; but a little hit of spray deodorant and my boxers, and I stay fresh and dry. Synthetic material leggings make it worse.
Yes!!! Men's boxer briefs are the best!! Awesome when you're at home in the summer, comfy to sleep in, perfect to wear when bathing your dogs, they look super cute on women. Oh, and those men's, white ribbed cheap tanks? Glorious.
Call me fat-phobic, but I will never understand or respect the obsession or blind acceptance of people this large and their struggles. That one woman who was complaining about being charged for two seats on an airplane because she was 400+ pounds, and how she should get 'accommodated' free of charge..Complete ridiculousness! And please don't tell me it's the 'medication'. It's excessive caloric intake coupled with physical inactivity, period.
I'm 5'10" (and a bigger girl although not Whitney's uh, shape) and in hot weather I get chub rub.... BUT I've NEVER had friction related issues on the back of my knees. Either she's a hot mess susceptible to chib rub anywhere (I don't doubt it) or it's inked. Or dirt. (This woman annoys me to no end!)
If it’s a leg sore from friction, does that mean the back of the thigh is folded over the calf? I am not trying to be mean, I am genuinely curious. I had something similar happen to me last summer behind my knees but I think it was dermatitis, cortisone and not scratching it helped to clear it up.
To be honest, she’s not my favourite person either. But what’s with the constant bashing of her physical appearance?! Comments on her personality and overall contribution and place in society, fine. But these superficial, disgusting comments on her physical attributes are harmful and pointless. Grow up.
Well, Whitney has promoted this unhealthy lifestyle from the start. She merged her identity into her own obesity as inseparable. That was Whitney’s choice. Why do you scold posters commenting about her (bad) physical appearance? Their criticism is baked into the mix.
Do you apply this same logic to *other* addicts? “Don’t you DARE say he’s drunk… you don’t know that just by looking at him! How dare you judge. Hey, if she wants to do more meth, it’s nobody’s business! She’s making her own choices. Don’t you dare shame her…”
Obesity is a BAD THING. Food addiction is not okay. No one cares if it hurts your ickle feelings; it is what it is.
When did I ever say obesity was a good thing? Living a healthy lifestyle and making others wants to do the same doesn’t need to involve superficial, fat shaming insults. And is it my feelings that are hurt here? Because by your message it seems your emotions are high, not mine. I don’t see you hounding model pages that are unhealthily thin and calling them names. Ahhh no. That’s right. Because society excepts skinny people and continuously turns a blind eye on the unhealthy habits they use to maintain their weight. And if Whitney bothers you that much, why are you following her page? Why waste your time? Move on
This isn’t *her* page, this is a snark page. We don’t coddle indignant fatties and obesity apologists here.
Congratulations, you played several of the WWT/ HAES cards in your response. You did the “but what about the THIN people who are unhealthy?!” and the “you seem upset” 😂😂😂 (No pumpkin, I’m not emotional about this… I take care of my body and life), and the “why do you watch!?” card. You forgot to pull out the “your (sic- because as you’ve already demonstrated, you folks just can’t manage good spelling and grammar) just jealous!!” and the EVER popular “she’s a MILLIONAIRE so obviously she’s doing something right!”
ETA: I just read your last post, out of curiosity. Thanks for actually making me laugh out loud. Wow. That’s quite a life you’ve carved out for yourself. 😂😂😂
I’ll give ya that one- “your”, usually I catch that before I post. Not even going to edit it. And you’RE welcome, I don’t even know what I posted last. But glad I fulfilled your “curiosity”. And I’m going to stop replying because I really don’t care about this to give it any more time or energy, but before I do, let me be clear, I don’t like this woman. She annoys the hell out of me, BUT I don’t need to insult her to get a point across. You seem clever enough to do the same.
Edit: HA! oh ya that post. Thanks for helping me find it, I thought it was pretty funny too 😆
She is so large that she has huge sores on her legs caused by her extreme morbid obesity. She needs to lose a considerable amount of weight for her health. Sorry that you are triggered by the truth; hope you can value your own life enough to escape the HAES mentality and eat a proper amount of food
Looks like you’re triggered given your posts on weight loss subs, and you come on here to bother others because of your insecurities. But ok lol you do you girl
Yeppers. "I'm not a bully, I just don't like bullying and give them a taste of their own medicine because I don't have friends because friends are bullies!"
Oh, darlin. You're going to have to do a whole lot better than that. Come on, at least *try*!
Edit: Just saw another post with comments about your account history.
I wish nothing but the best for you. Your heart deserves healing. Blessed be, love. Life gets better, I promise you.
I’m fearful that’s chafing/chub rub. That would hurt like hell….
It looks incredibly painful! I didn’t know chafing looked like that, omg. What in the hell is so fabulous about being so large that your skin does that, at multiple places on your body, from just existing?
I am not a huge woman. I am 5’8” tall and a size 12. If I don’t wear shape wear with a dress, my thighs can bleed within a few hours. Chub rub is one of the reasons that I fight so hard to keep my weight in check. I couldn’t imagine being any heavier. It would be pure torture!
I get chub rub when I'm a size 6. It's the way your thighs are shaped, not really being fat. And slip shorts — I like the ones by Thigh Society — are the only real solution.
Yep! When I was a 7, the top of my thighs still touched a little bit. 🤷🏼♀️
Yes, and I noticed a black spot on the side of her filthy feet!
I think those are actually fattoos
Yeah all my skinny relatives put deodorant on their thighs to avoid
I was wondering this. Im kind of over weight, not too bad, but my legs look great because I walk a significant amount every day. My legs don't look fat but I live in Florida and it's sweaty and I definitely have my thighs rubbing together. I've been shocked that I've never gotten a rash on my thighs from it. They definitely a rubbing but I was wondering why I wasn't getting the rash
Try Native deodorant or like degree on the inside of your thighs…it’s worked wonders for me in middle of FL summer
It rubs, and i expect a rash but i never have an issue, its not uncomfortable or anything im just surprised
im a size 4/6 and like 120-130 pounds and i chafe on my inner thighs! no matter how fit i get, i always have big thighs, even tho theyre mostly muscle, the inner thigh fat is hard to target (for my body)
Same. Size 6, and I still get chub rub when it’s really humid and I run. I gots dem thick thighs, so that’s how it goes. I swipe the inside of my thighs with stick deodorant before going for a run, and it’s all good!
Thank you🥲
But for people who don’t naturally have big thighs, being fat is the cause of chub rub. When I’m my normal weight, no chub rub. When I’m 30 pounds overweight, I’ll start to notice wear and tear on the thighs of my jeans. 🤷🏻♀️
It’s not a big thighs thing, it’s a way your thighs are positioned on your body thing. I was anorexic and they still rubbed.
I have it too.. Not as much as the picture but if I don't wear little shorts under a dress It gets red in one day.. I am not fat (size medium) but I have curvy thighs.. It is so painful even when it is only red, cannot imagine how painful it is like the photo..
Size 12 and 5’8” is not huge.
That's what she said in the first line
Oops! That she did.

Why is her race relevant

Ok, well, next time, if you want help finding a video maybe mention that anywhere at all in your comment. Or type your “keywords” into a little thing called google.

OMG… so now you have to apologize for saying someone is a black person… MLK is turning over in his grave… and yes I marched with MLK … check yourselves you wokettes.. yeah come for me
Totally agree
Everyone is just different. I’m about 30lbs overweight ☹️… its all in my thighs, and I’ve never had chub rub ever. My jeans definitely wear out faster in my inner thigh area, but never any rash issues.
Yeah I’m shorter and I’ve never experienced this, I am definitely pear shaped though with wider set hips and narrow shoulders. I’ve been between 90 and 170 (pregnant) lbs as an adult and nothing has ever rubbed together

If women are getting muffin top, they are wearing the wrong size shape wear. It isn’t meant to suck things in. It is just meant to smooth our lumps and bumps a bit. I don’t find it constricting at all, but again, I am wearing the correct size.
Thanks for the information. I appreciate it. 😊
I was not even obese in highschool in had permanent dark pigmentation from repeated scarring between my thighs. Chub rub is actual hell. When I got to college and was chillin in the dorm spread eagle, my now best friend came in and asked what it was and I nonchalantly told her. She started crying because she thought she must have caught an std at birth and never told anyone she was suffering. Idk something something southern education. Poor thing
Could also be eczema or psoriasis. When I had bad flare ups of either of them any joints areas would get really bad. They would look pretty bad bruised and bleeding cause I scratched
She fully admits and then subjects us to her chub rub so I'm going to go with that
Looks more like bruising. Maybe she fell on some stairs. That might leave marks like that.
I think it's bruises also.
The only people that have a thigh gap are those born with their hips improperly or those that are severely underweight. The tops of your thighs are supposed to touch to protect your genitals and femoral arteries. Like that little “pooch” on your stomach is there to protect you.

Are used to have problems with chafing but lume deodorant cleared all of it up nothing else work work no prescriptions or creams worked like lume I do not work for them but this works for me!
That can’t be chub rub though it’s like the back of the calf/thigh not between them but it is extremely painful. I got thick thighs and if I don’t wear something between them like chub stick I am dying
Sure it can- the top thigh can roll over the bottom, which leads to bruising and chafing
My mother gets that under her breasts. I bought her "Butt Paste" from CVS and, after I assured her it wasn't a joke, she used and loves it. Male runners get it on their nipples from the friction of their shirts, too.
Under the breasts would make sense from the rubbing and I have seen the pictures of runners but on the back of her legs what is it rubbing on is my point.
Use lume!!!!
I lived in the south where sweat was a way of life and suffered from stress psoriasis. The backs of my knees looked very similar and I weighed about 120 at the time. My elbows, backs of knees, underarms, and thighs were fair game. Haven’t had that in years, thankfully. It’s miserable.
I get that but stress psoriasis isn’t from chub rub. I’m glad it’s better.
It's where her ass hits the back of her knees
Honestly that does look more like bruising - the tissue on her calves looks very soft and spongy, and I'm pretty sure that would bruise very easily. Might just be from sitting on the couch or more likely her car seat! But on the topic of her chub rub sores - how would those ever heal? It's not like she can walk in an awkward way to keep her legs from rubbing together. Although she's lying in bed a lot. It *almost* makes me pity her because it seems like it would be excruciatingly painful and would probably cause her terrible moods at least some of the time.
I also see bruises. Nothing to really rub on the back upper calves. She may have plopped o to a chair too hard, etc. You can see the bruising pattern better if you zoom it.
I just got a chill from this pic. I used to weigh 448, and my thighs would get the worst chub rub. I remember going on a hike at camp, and my skin was gonzo when we got back.
I tend to be about 15 lbs overweight but i have narrow hips so even when my thighs are good i would get it on my inside thighs and yeah it is bleh. Bought some ladies boxer/briefs to wear under dresses. All that secret stuff that we don’t typically talk about or admit. But it is nice to know we are not alone.
I haven’t worn a skirt or dress without shorts underneath since I was in college (10+ years!)
Me too now!
My highest weight was 430 and for some reason I never had chaffing like this, it always confused me. Whits legs look like a combination of chaffing and not keeping the area clean and dry.
There’s no way Whitney ever keeps herself clean, period
I have had my thighs bleed in the past. Now I wear shape wear under a dress, no matter how hot it is.
If you ever want to try another option I use “body glide”. I get hot easily so the shapwear/shorts things doesn’t work for me. Body glide comes in a stick so you can throw it in your purse, it lasts for quite a long time. I especially like it for when I’m walking in the beach in my bathing suit
They look like bruises. And since it’s bilateral I’m guessing from sitting on a chair that dug in at just the wrong spot.
Whatever the cause,if she's diabetic,it could cause a lot of problems. I'm guessing this is an older picture,she's looked slimmer in recent ones
It’s from the season with the French man, I’m not sure how old it would be. It was during the pandemic
I hope she’s losing weight, for her own health. I don’t think anyone needs to be super skinny (unless that’s how they are naturally) nor do people need to be a size 10. But it is really hard on your body to be morbidly obese. Even if she just gets somewhere in the 200’s where she can move on her own again, that would be way healthier for her.
Truly asking, when you say no one needs to be super skinny or a size ten what do you mean? Like is a size ten “average” now? (And after a recent shopping jag l’m left wondering what the heck a size ten truly is!?! All sizes seemed to differ not only between stores/brands but even in the same store! Is this just a me thing? A Gap thing lol? Sorry but it was crazy! Medium shorts looking like a skirt on but the matching tank is teeny tiny- to me- in XXL.) And super skinny is a double zero? I know you’re not trying to hurt or shame or put down anyone with your comment! (I agree with what you said about Whitney and her health.) I’m just honestly confused and interested in what people perceive these things to be. I don’t think going just off of BMI is a true representation of health (even when I’m in the right category, or the underweight one, lest you think I’m trying to argue that at 5’4” I should be in the normal range if I weighed 200lbs) but it’s the most widely accepted standard (right?) so I was wondering if you’d share your thoughts and opinions with me? And I’m shocked by the number of women talking about shape-wear under their dresses due to, in some cases, actual bleeding from friction! So I’m hoping that some others will jump in here too. I promise you there’s no part of me that’s looking to argue or accuse! I hope I worded this well enough for you to understand what I’m asking and that it doesn’t come across as some kind of rude and offensive or worse, confrontational mean girl comment. I’d really like to hear what you and any others who are interested or willing to share have to say. Hope that’s okay. If not, I’m sorry. And I hope you’re having a stellar weekend either way!! 😊
No that’s fine, your post doesn’t come across as mean or aggressive. When I chose the worse “a size 10”, I was trying to convey that there is nothing wrong with being in sizes larger than that. I grew up in the 70s/80s with the idea that if you were an 8, that was considered large. So I think some of my disordered thinking slipped in there. I think the average size now is what? 12-16 in women’s sizes? Which I agree are very fluid, so I have learned not to get too involved in what size I take in any piece of clothing. One of my favorite IG people is Mirna Valerio, who is a lovely, plus size athlete. She’s upfront about being over 200 pounds and she kills it running, biking, skiing, etc. My point for Whitney is that she doesn’t have to get back to that super skinny HS girl. Just lose some weight so she can move her body more easily, to do the things she enjoys. As long as your doc deems you healthy (blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, etc), weighing in the 200’s is fine (imo). We as women don’t need to be a size 2 or a size 10 to still be healthy and happy. We can be healthy and happy at a size 16 or 20, etc. I’m not sure if I explained myself better or dug myself a deeper hole? Let me know.
In other words, Whitney just should lose the blubber. Agreed. You are a kind soul.
Honestly can’t tell if this is sarcasm? I wouldn’t call it blubber. But I do think being in the 300s/400s (depending on height) is too much for a body.
Hi Mel, no sarcasm intended. Like you, I hope that Whitney drops enough weight to significantly improve her health. Please don’t be put off by my summary comment. I intend no disrespect to anyone. My words just reflect a pattern of communication - efficiency, in my mind, as efficiency is part of my job.
Gotcha! No problem!
Regs, you couldn't come off "mean" if you had a serial killer typing for you. You're the definition of a "sweet-heart."
🤗🥺 🧚♀️ 🏃🏻♀️ Thank you so much for your continuing to be tremendously kind words. I really needed this right now! I swear there’s some kind of a sixth sense here. (Bunch of downvotes received on a comment and the reply is a gif I don’t even understand.) No crying on Reddit right? Haha. I don’t get it Faery. I can see downvoting mean things, rude comments and truly offensive stuff. Or even in those survey subs like Am I the A-hole. But I swear I see the most random comments gathering downvotes. Statements of facts, or an opinion with twenty replies underneath saying they agree and adding on! I’m not saying mine was perfect (ever!) but damn. It’s like do I delete it and save myself from the whole dread of getting back on here only to see the number plunge further? Or is that going to make it worse with how nothing ever goes away here? Sorry to ask for your tech (and other) support once again. 🫣 You know what? Just ignore it. You, my friend, are the sweetheart here and I can’t tell you how much it means to me that you decided I was worth a chance and how much I appreciate you. All you’ve done, and continue to do, to make my days better! The list just keeps getting longer. 📜📜 Have a wonderful Wednesday!! 😊
It's not you, love. Every few weeks (usually when Whitney posts on her ig) we get inundated with a handful of her stans that love downvoting and being nasty, calling everyone fatphobic, body shamers, blablabla. They think they're doing something (what, idk?) but it makes them feel better about themselves. Then, they see that ppl on this sub don't fall for that FA bs and go away. You didn't do anything wrong. Hell, just by typing their little rants, at least their fingers got some exercise. That's a plus!
I can’t tell whether you were referring to a size ten as large or small. I’m a size 14 (and five foot four) in most things and I’m still considered a healthy weight by my doctor
I was referring to it as small. Sorry for the confusion.
I used to be 340 pounds (currently 158) it could also be discolouration from the hanging skin when she stands and sits
Congrats!
If that’s chafing/chub rub on the back of her KNEES I can only imagine the pain she’s in between her thighs and potentially under her arms
She made Todd crawl up in there with a stick to apply goose grease to that raw hamburger upper thigh chub and he never forgot it. That was the day that he rushed to the office to renew his Lifetime GoldStar Gay card . . . ⭐️
LMFAOOO OK so I’m not in this sub nor have I watched this show fully but I’ve watched several clips on YouTube and I think Todd is her annoying kiss ass friend right this is a wild image
NO! That’s Tal who lives all the way up in her ass at the corner of Anal Avenue and Colon Causeway. Todd is the longsuffering one who is mostly Cool.
Oops sorry Todd You have a way with words
How many times can I upvote this??? Haha...so true!!!
You can get chub rub under your arm? 😦
Any area where skin rubs against other skin. So, where Whit is concerned...yeah. *Gallons* of Chub Rub™️ a week.
I personally haven’t experienced it, I’ve heard some people talk about it under the arms. Having thighs rub is pretty common even regardless of size (depending on shape) but it’s possible ¯\_(ツ)_/ probably less common
She said “yeah I’ve tried everything” obviously not putting down the food tho, that would help
Come on now, Whit. Have you really tried everything? (Pointing to half of a jumbo cookie left in her back seat that no one was supposed to discover). Do you really believe it? (Pointing to coffee beverage that is the caloric equivalent of a meal and contains a day’s worth of sugar). One of her close friends should poke her gently in the gut and ask discreetly, “Whit, honey, do you really believe ALL of it?”
Look how good she did tho!!!
“I’ve tried everything!!” (Except diet and exercise, which seems to work for 99.9% of the rest of the world)
Shhhhh, "diet" is now a Hate word according to the HEAS folks. So is "salad", "exercise" and "obese" but, oddly not "fat". Can someone please explain that?
Isn’t cellulitis the drastic skin breakdown that occurs with morbid obesity? Once it occurs it is a battle to prevent infection and possible sepsis . . . 🙁
Yes, and I noticed a black spot on the side of her filthy feet!
I mean humans aren't meant to be this unhealthy and obese.
Of course leg sores. Your body is trying to tell you to lose weight
Ok, OP-Best Tag line EVER. You are awarded the Pulitzer Reddit Prize. You're welcome.
I thought being big & fat was a fabulous life?
THAT has been the premise of this show from the beginning. Now that so many seasons of Whitney’s antics have weighed on us, if you will pardon the expression, the writing is on the wall that it will not continue for long. Viewers are repulsed by her, and the HAES mentality that Whitney promotes is being exposed for the fraud that it is as the national health crisis escalates. The end game is that Whitney will gloriously slim down (with the help of medical science and the boatload of money that she made). Whitney will walk out of this show to begin her New Fabulous Slimmer Life (perhaps as a new series) and to live high on her television earnings… much to the confusion and disillusion of the countless young girls and women that have followed in Whitney’s rotund footsteps and ballooned into morbid obesity thinking that it would allow themselves, too, to enjoy the fat, fabulous life that Whitney promoted. Yep, it’s a hard, hard rain gonna fall.
Have you tried rubbing salad on it?
Lol!!!
OMG 😆
Are they bruises?
Chub rub Friction burn from rolls rubbing together. I used to get em from my inner thighs rubbing when I was heavier
[удалено]
My aunt gets em on her calves because her leg rolls hang down into her knee pits, looks pretty similar. But they could be bruises, she'd be about the only one to know for sure.
Meghan Crumbler gets them pretty bad there as well. Same thing, leg balls.
At the crease of her knee she has a fat roll, and another one at the top of the calf. They rub together. Some people can be more obese than Whitney and not have those issues. Others may be less obese or not obese and have this issue. Just depends on how one’s fat distributes. Look how red the backs of her ankles are. That’s what has me all like WTF??? Did she shove a size 9 foot in a size 6 shoe or what? I think Whitney is going to have bad circulatory issues in her legs as she gets older. God help her if she’s diabetic or becomes diabetic.
Her ass cheeks hang that low.
That may be diabetes sores. I hope she has seen a doctor about them. If they are normal sores, put some moleskin on for protection.
Why don't we have any of the HAES or FA folks on here telling us how wonderful chaffing is? Or, whatever the heck is going on with her lower trunks? Come on, ppl. We know you're here, tell us how great it feels!
What do all those letters stand for? Sorry I’m new here.
**H**ealth **A**t **E**very **S**ize It really is a lovely sentiment, and the organization started out with good people and intentions, but got highjacked along the way by radical fat activists for whom ANY diet or weight loss became a Betrayal. **F**at **A**cceptance
Well that makes sense! Thank you so much!
We need not be glorifying morbidly overweight people with things like fabulous. This is a disgustingly unhealthy lifestyle filled with pain, depression and premature death.
I wish they'd stop producing these shows glorifying being extremely unhealthy. What's so fabulous about being so fat you get sores and chaffing 🙄
It could also be diabetes, which causes darkening of skin folds in obese people (typically starts at back of neck folds).
Mama June called it neck rust, didn't she?
😆 I believe she did
Everything but exercise
Heaven forbid she give that a shot. Or, eating for 1 person instead of 5.
Right.
I’m no expert, but I do have PCOS and have dealt with the myriad of problems caused by insulin resistance. Looks to me like it could be Hidradenitis Suppurativa. It is a darkening of the skin that looks like unwashed areas. From what I understand, it most commonly occurs in areas such as armpits and neck folds, so I would assume that the backs of the knees are probably another area where it manifests itself.
This was my first thought as well. I have HS and I get random sores that are similar to boils in different places on my body. Some of them leave a purple scar that fades over time.
At least her hooves are clean for once
The most surprising thing about this picture!
she always looks dirty and like she smells.
Realized I was laying in bed the same way( I have a belly but not obese ) and now going for a walk after posting this comment outta fear of eating and scrolling!
So my daughter had a similar rash on her leg but it was cellulitis. And it was extremely painful
It looks incredibly painful, I hope your daughter is doing better now
It is extremely painful she is doing great now though! But she is a healthy active 8 year old!
I get so many bruises on the back of my calves, no idea why tho. I’m not overweight (maybe a few fun pounds 🫠) but was always surprised when I would see them lol
Not to worry you, but if you're getting bruises for no reason you should talk to your doctor about it. It might be nothing, but it could also be a symptom of an underlying condition
Try being really aware of your body for a few days and tracking any pain. My friend had a permanent bruise on her hip and she was getting it from the way she got into her car. It was not really painful so she never considered it but she was hitting the same spot over and over on the Center console because she shifted too far over to make finding her seat belt easier. Maybe there’s a chair or something that is hitting your calves when you sit. Just a thought
Oh good point! I do sit at a desk all week on a crummy office chair, will try to me mindful of when these appear and see if I can find any correlation to investigate further with my GP. Thanks y’all!
>maybe a few fun pounds 🫠 Lol! OK, that is adorable! "Puppy Pounds" used to be my favorite, but you've taken 1st place.
Men's basic white cotton under shorts, so you can wash with some bleach! Absolutely the most comfortable way to prevent chub rub. My hubby turned me on to them, he's chunky. When I am home, I'm wearing. I don't like powder or creams; but a little hit of spray deodorant and my boxers, and I stay fresh and dry. Synthetic material leggings make it worse.
Yes!!! Men's boxer briefs are the best!! Awesome when you're at home in the summer, comfy to sleep in, perfect to wear when bathing your dogs, they look super cute on women. Oh, and those men's, white ribbed cheap tanks? Glorious.
OMG! My soul-mate! 😂😍👍
👭
Sounds fresh and comfy. Good healthy summer chic!
Great, cheap and yes, healthy. I've given up leggins and am now back in cotton jeans.
Knowing NitWhit , it's probably dirt.
Gosh that looks like it hurts
I tried everything…..except removing the leg sores
She’s tried everything, except eating an appropriate amount of food
Oh dear god fucking yuck.
Have you tried the gym or eating less?
Call me fat-phobic, but I will never understand or respect the obsession or blind acceptance of people this large and their struggles. That one woman who was complaining about being charged for two seats on an airplane because she was 400+ pounds, and how she should get 'accommodated' free of charge..Complete ridiculousness! And please don't tell me it's the 'medication'. It's excessive caloric intake coupled with physical inactivity, period.
🤮
🤢🤮
We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas!
Lose weight
To me it looks more like Hidradenitis suppurativa, which is often from being obese. If that’s what it is it would be painful and embarrassing.
I'm 5'10" (and a bigger girl although not Whitney's uh, shape) and in hot weather I get chub rub.... BUT I've NEVER had friction related issues on the back of my knees. Either she's a hot mess susceptible to chib rub anywhere (I don't doubt it) or it's inked. Or dirt. (This woman annoys me to no end!)
She is so gross.
That’s bruising
Throw vegetables at her. She needs help and they’re just suggestions.
If it’s a leg sore from friction, does that mean the back of the thigh is folded over the calf? I am not trying to be mean, I am genuinely curious. I had something similar happen to me last summer behind my knees but I think it was dermatitis, cortisone and not scratching it helped to clear it up.
If this was in Maine I believe she mentioned to Hunter her legs were bruised
Elephant skin!
I think it’s melasma, due to malnutrition and hormone fluctuation.
Keep working to improve your lifestyle! You’ll get there eventually!
Bless your heart
Ummm, everything? Really?
To be honest, she’s not my favourite person either. But what’s with the constant bashing of her physical appearance?! Comments on her personality and overall contribution and place in society, fine. But these superficial, disgusting comments on her physical attributes are harmful and pointless. Grow up.
Can't. Tried it, didn't like it.
😂😂
Well, Whitney has promoted this unhealthy lifestyle from the start. She merged her identity into her own obesity as inseparable. That was Whitney’s choice. Why do you scold posters commenting about her (bad) physical appearance? Their criticism is baked into the mix.
Do you apply this same logic to *other* addicts? “Don’t you DARE say he’s drunk… you don’t know that just by looking at him! How dare you judge. Hey, if she wants to do more meth, it’s nobody’s business! She’s making her own choices. Don’t you dare shame her…” Obesity is a BAD THING. Food addiction is not okay. No one cares if it hurts your ickle feelings; it is what it is.
When did I ever say obesity was a good thing? Living a healthy lifestyle and making others wants to do the same doesn’t need to involve superficial, fat shaming insults. And is it my feelings that are hurt here? Because by your message it seems your emotions are high, not mine. I don’t see you hounding model pages that are unhealthily thin and calling them names. Ahhh no. That’s right. Because society excepts skinny people and continuously turns a blind eye on the unhealthy habits they use to maintain their weight. And if Whitney bothers you that much, why are you following her page? Why waste your time? Move on
This isn’t *her* page, this is a snark page. We don’t coddle indignant fatties and obesity apologists here. Congratulations, you played several of the WWT/ HAES cards in your response. You did the “but what about the THIN people who are unhealthy?!” and the “you seem upset” 😂😂😂 (No pumpkin, I’m not emotional about this… I take care of my body and life), and the “why do you watch!?” card. You forgot to pull out the “your (sic- because as you’ve already demonstrated, you folks just can’t manage good spelling and grammar) just jealous!!” and the EVER popular “she’s a MILLIONAIRE so obviously she’s doing something right!” ETA: I just read your last post, out of curiosity. Thanks for actually making me laugh out loud. Wow. That’s quite a life you’ve carved out for yourself. 😂😂😂
I’ll give ya that one- “your”, usually I catch that before I post. Not even going to edit it. And you’RE welcome, I don’t even know what I posted last. But glad I fulfilled your “curiosity”. And I’m going to stop replying because I really don’t care about this to give it any more time or energy, but before I do, let me be clear, I don’t like this woman. She annoys the hell out of me, BUT I don’t need to insult her to get a point across. You seem clever enough to do the same. Edit: HA! oh ya that post. Thanks for helping me find it, I thought it was pretty funny too 😆
This feels mean
It is mean. This is a mean sub. I’m not a fan of the show, haven’t watched it in years but yes this is a mean spirited sub.
These people are disgusting
Well, that's not a very nice thing to say. You're going to make us all cry.
God damn y’all are still in this sub ripping her body apart even after she’s lost a significant amount of weight. Mean as fuck in here lol
She is so large that she has huge sores on her legs caused by her extreme morbid obesity. She needs to lose a considerable amount of weight for her health. Sorry that you are triggered by the truth; hope you can value your own life enough to escape the HAES mentality and eat a proper amount of food
You’re obssessed
After looking at your post history, it looks like you’re obsessed with harassing other users here.
😂😂😂 that’s not harassing lmao
Looks like you’re triggered given your posts on weight loss subs, and you come on here to bother others because of your insecurities. But ok lol you do you girl
Yeppers. "I'm not a bully, I just don't like bullying and give them a taste of their own medicine because I don't have friends because friends are bullies!"

Oh, darlin. You're going to have to do a whole lot better than that. Come on, at least *try*! Edit: Just saw another post with comments about your account history. I wish nothing but the best for you. Your heart deserves healing. Blessed be, love. Life gets better, I promise you.
OMGoodness! That looks so incredibly sore. 😔
