I feel like I'm left out
Robin,


I am not in the least bit surprised that you have not experienced any discomfort while walking kilted. Your quoted waist measurement (34”) is exactly the same as mine, and this probably means that (like me) your top of thigh measurement is somewhat lower than that of those who experience chafing while walking. This is caused by their thighs rubbing together at each stride. I suspect that this problem is more common in the USA, where men (and women) tend to have more weight problems than Europeans do (although this is also on the increase in Britain now). When I was last in the USA (California), I noted that men’s trouser waist sizes in the stores seemed to start at 36” in many cases; the most common available sizes being 40” to 48”, with many available up to 54” or higher. Perhaps a slimming course would be a more permanent (and healthier) solution to the chafing problem than Body Glide.
