Thigh cut-out jeans are a hellish nightmare for anyone with 'chub rub'
The sun is shining, your skin is glowing, and your thighs are...on fire. Yep, the season of "chub rub" is upon us.
Behold, a pair of jeans guaranteed to be the arch-nemesis of anyone whose thighs rub together during those sticky summer months.
ASOS is selling a pair of jeans with something called a "suspender detail," which essentially means there's two giant holes on each thigh. Somewhat crucially, these holes expose the area of skin prone to chafing, which could make these jeans very uncomfortable.
For those unacquainted, the term "chub rub" refers to thigh chafing which occurs to people of all shapes and sizes due to increased heat and sweating.
For those of us who spend our summers trying to avoid this particularly unpleasant aspect of warm weather, these jeans are basically our worst nightmare.
The jeans will set you back £17.50 ($23) from ASOS.
No thank you!
