I'm disappointed that I have to give this three stars. To be fair to the product, I'm pretty sure it would work for the average person. For whatever reason, I'm prone to extremely severe chafing on my thighs. Wearing these bandalettes was the first time I've worn a dress without leggings since I was a young child and weighed 95 lbs. They worked four about four hours, which is longer than any cream or powder has; however I was walking around for about six hours, and by the end of it, the skin where there are holes in the lace began to break down and bleed. I can't give it more than 3 stars because my thighs have lace patterned scabs all over, but I think it would definitely work for people with a less severe problem, and I will try them again on a day that isn't so hot/I'm not walking for so long. I was at least happy I got to free my legs on such a hot day, it was new not sweating to death in jeans or leggings.
