NannaandGrampy, what a brilliant idea to use deodorant, I'm going to try this.

Evening, spent today in my attic office, stifling, stuffy, hot hot hot!
I was wearing a loose cotton shirt, which I find cooler than T shirts, and fairly loose trousers.
To be strictly honest, they weren't as loose as they were last summer 
but I did actually manage to get them on without too many undignified contortions, and with only low level swearing, which must count for something.
Anyway, reading a post by another member about floaty dresses being a better option than cropped trousers, made me think..........
And having had a think, I now have a question. Apart from the obvious extra hassle of having to shave one's legs (yes, I know it's not compulsory, but there are limits) I was wondering about the (ahem) "thigh" issue 
I am of course asking for a friend, who is slightly concerned about sweating and possible chafing in that area.
She did also express some concerns about whether the thighs might make some sort of noise, perhaps "squeaking" or some such, as they came into contact.
She did briefly (ha ha, pun!) wonder if there was some sort of modern equivalent of bloomers, or directoire knickers, so I thought I would ask you lot for you advice on undergarments for dresses/skirts in hot weather.
My long Sloggis came, they are OK but a bit warm. The other problem is that a panty liner, which I usually use for freshness or in case I sneeze, doesn't stay put, roams around a bit and sticks to the short and curlies despite there being a gusset of the same shape. Sorry if this is TMI! Might have to wear ordinary pants underneath which defeats the object of wanting to be cool. Have also ordered a culotte petticoat so we shall see how that goes. I was at the top of my garden just now, which is overlooked. I was reluctant to bend forward to pull weeds in case I showed the knicker legs, had to be more ladylike than I normally am when in trousers!
