So I'm quite overweight at the moment so I'm just starting with walking. My thighs have started to rub after a mile or so, any tips to avoid this?

    Spandex under your shorts. Works like a charm.

    I did think about spandex but wasn't sure if I would get it in my size.

    You could also use Body glide. I am not a fan of it, but know lots of people that swear by it. I am not overweight and my thighs still rub together! This curvy girl will never have a thigh gap!!!!

    They make spandex shorts long enough to prevent chaffing In waist sizes that Wil fit nfl lineman. Look at Nile Pro, Under Armour, etc.

    I used to have that same problem, and trust me, these are a lifesaver

    Spandex shorts or body glide. Both work well. Good luck!

    Deodorant works fine for me. I told my husband... it worked for him too. Plus you probably already own it. Give it a try at least.

    Yes longer compression shorts will solve the problem.

    I used to wear tight shorts on underneath and that helped a lot.
