It's a poor man's solution, but it works. I have a pair of fleece pants that sticks to my legs, constantly popping and zapping. I spray some water on it, and it stops.

Also, try out different underwear (assuming you wear any) fabric to see if switching from cotton to silk to a blend helps out. I hope you don't find these tips "shocking". *RIMSHOT* I find that rubbing a dryer sheet on your legs before putting your pants on helps.

Works much better than the "static guard" spray and doesn't have the effect of possibly getting your pants wet.

This is a worse case senerio, but it's saved me a couple of times before important meetings. Fill the palm of your hand with water and rub each leg.

It's in a blue and orange aerosol spray can. Right before you want to wear your clothes, just give them a spray on the outside. The stuff stinks a little bit right at first, but the odor quickly fades. I too have a problem with several shirts that start clinging to me throughout the day. One quick spray front and back in the morning eliminates that problem all day. There’s a product out there, I believe it’s called Static-Guard. It’s in a blue and orange aerosol spray can.
