How To Repair Inner Thigh Of Jeans
What ruins your jeans in the winter and burns your thighs in the summer? Chub rub. Hello there fellow thigh-chafers. As someone who is well versed in the inner thigh-chafing arena, I'd like to welcome you to my unofficial TED talk on saving your jeans from nature's gift to women, chub rub.

As an avid non-thigh gap walker, I go through denim like a f*ckboy goes through his Instagram DM's, hard and fast. Even as the warning signs show themselves, the gentle caress of the inner thigh, the thinning of fabric, my podcasts keep playing and the Fitbit on my wrist advances towards its 10k step goal.
Having to toss a great pair of jeans because the inner thighs have worn out is arguably one of the most frustrating sartorial experiences men and women can experience. Good jeans aren't cheap and losing a pair that was once the bottom half of your go-to first date outfit is a mournful blow to the wardrobe and the spirit.
RIP to my wedgie-fit Levi's

How to avoid the dreaded chub rub rip
So, how do we go about getting a little more life out of our favorite pair of jeans? Try the following:
- Only wash when absolutely necessary. The more you wash your jeans, the more the fibers in the fabric break down and become vulnerable to wear and tear. Contrary to what your mother says, you don't need to wash your jeans after every use. Whenever possible, try to air dry your denim as overdrying them in a dryer can damage the spandex in the fiber that makes them stretchy. When you do throw them in the wash, do so on a short and cold cycle.
- If you're spending a lot of money on your jeans and don't want to chance the chub rub rip, you can sew denim patches into the inside of your jeans where your thighs most rub. Don't worry, it's easier than you think. Cut out two palm-sized patches from an old pair of jeans, turn your current pair inside-out, and with a needle and thread, sew on the reinforcement fabric to protect the rubbing area.

- Buy higher-percentage jeans. What does this mean? Ideally, look for jeans that are made from 100% cotton as their rigid material should translate to a longer-lasting life. A thicker pair of denim should also last longer than a thinner (read: cheaper) pair. Levi's, Grlfrnd, and Re/Done all offer many cult-loved pairs of rigid denim that will last you longer than a cheap off-the-rack pair. However, longer doesn't mean forever; my Levi's did eventually give up on me (see above) but this was after 2+ years of constant use and many kilometers walked.
- Some people swear by rubbing a dry bar of soap or spraying Scotchguard on the outside of their jeans' inner thighs to prevent the chub rub rip. I have not personally given these a go but trying these methods shouldn't do any harm to the fabric.
- Rotate your jeans. Do you have one pair of jeans that's absolutely incredible? Avoid your instincts to wear them every single day. The only absolute tried-and-true way to protect your jeans from chub rub ripping is to not wear them all the time (that was vaguely sexual, no?).

At the end of the day, nothing can last forever, not even our $300 jeans. But if you remember to rotate your denim often, treat them with care, and throw on a skirt every now and again, we should be able to save them from the inevitable chub rub, at least for a little while.
