Preventing Chaffing?

I have been walking a lot. Unfortunately I have been getting chaffing a lot. I have been using baby powder at bed time and that helps but does anyone know of anything to prevent it? I went walking 3 times yesterday and the chaffing was pretty bad. I used baby powder last night but it's not fully healed today.

Vaseline will save you! Put it on all your chaffing zones, I even use it to prevent blisters on my feet when running anything over 10k.1

Baby powder makes it worse.
Besides the body glide, look for wicking fabrics.1 -
Baby powder hasn't ever made it worse for me, but like I said, I use it at night to help it heal and it has worked unless I am just chaffed beyond repair. But, I have never heard of vaseline. I'll have to give it a try.0

Spandex always kept me from having inner thigh chafing when on long walks or ruck marches when I was still in the Army.0

Yoga pants or long line boxers0

Get a proper base layer and u will be fine. Simple as that but if u want to apply product instead you can do it that way but why not just prevent it with something simple0
-
spandex shorts as a base layer and then anything else on top if you want0

Body Glide or Blister Shield will both save you from chafing, and don't stain as much as vasoline.0
