chub rub
Inner leg irritation
Chub rub is the skin irritation caused by thighs rubbing together, especially in warm weather or during physical activity.
The friction creates uncomfortable chafing, redness, or even raw patches.
Though the term references chubbiness, the problem affects people of various body types: I need to wear bike shorts under this dress to prevent chub rub.
