Thread: Chafing (Doctor says big thighs)

Body glide. Dicks Sporting goods and running stores.

Why does showering make it better? I imagine it would make it worse. I'd go with what the above poster said, or maybe wear spandex shorts for underwear. I have the same problem and tighter fitting pants actually help because there is less fabric to skin friction.

I use Gold Bond medicated powder. Keeps the inner thighs dry and reduces chaffing.

I think the key is avoiding skin-to-skin contact, especially when you are working out.

Had the same issue when I was running competitively in high school. The short shorts that were all so sexy allowed my inner thighs to rub. I was a distant runner than leg pressed over 900lbs. I was built for middle distance though. Anyhow, baby powder for the win. I also would buy a separate deodorant for my below nuts area and it kept the chaffing to an extreme minimal.

vasoline is cheaper and works great. I also have big thighs and have this problem occasionally. Spandex shorts for drawers is also a good choice.

Who do you think i got the tip from. Seriously, vasoline helps prevent chafing. Looking extremely gay while greased up is just an added bonus

Yeah, definitely. I've had the same problem before and this is the key.

I highly recommend that you wear some type of boxer brief that fits tight around the thighs. They will do the rubbing so your thighs aren't skin to skin causing the irritation. I have found Haynes to have the best fit and they seem to last the longest.

Boxer briefs solved the problem for me.

Tried boxers, tight boxer briefs, baby powder, vaseline. I thought about deodorant but have not tried it yet. Now I will chaff if it just gets sweaty from walking around. If I walk like I shit myself all day and separate them it will be fine.

Have you tried long legged bicycle shorts?

I've got a big ass and I sweat a lot. I get a rash and itching. Deep itching in my ass caused by moisture and yeast/fungus. I'd like pants that would separate my cheeks. I know his is 2010 but I really know the future of fashion is butt cheek pants. Can someone PLEASE make your millions on this right away. I don't want the money for the idea just the pants.

let your clothes go an extra rinse cycle on the washer and use tide with downy so the last rinse is just water. try gold bond powder and white cotton boxer briefs. also switch to a baby soap for a month.

I have not, I don't want to look homosexual in any way. Any more options? My thighs do rub a lot, like I said if I walk bow legged I will be fine but I also look like I just shit myself.

are you sure u measured right? mine are 29inch and iam 6'1 and dont have that problem and your not much shorter than me, maybe u meant 29 or something cause my quads are not big. if its right then just use baby powder and long briefs.

Just telling you what I was told and I will measure right now actually. They do rub. 26 1/2. I don't know they look big compared to others, ill take a picture one day or something but why would they rub together so bad? This shit sucks lol

no, i believe u i just thought u measured wrong, u dont have to take a picture. but i always thought my quads were my lagging muscle part. try the baby powder with the boxer briefs. that should eliminate the chaffing.

Dude, looking homo is the new rage aren't you up on fashion? No seriously I was talking about using the bike shorts as underwear to keep your thighs from rubbing. Same principle as using the boxer briefs but bike shorts are typically spandex or something similar that is really slick and won't bind together like a cotton boxer brief might when it gets sweaty.
