Recently I have started walking instead of riding my bike and I feel some slight chafing. Any suggestions in what to use?

    I get shocking chafing, I just use solid deodorant stick (I use Lady Speed Stick cos I'm a "lady"). It's great because it prevents the chafing by being a barrier, but is also an antiperspirant and its the sweat that makes you chafe in the first place.

    Sometimes the right underwear can be enough.

    Silicone barrier cream is really good. I like it because it's water repellent and doesn't sweat off during exercise. You can get it from the chemist/drugstore and they usually have pretty cheap generic brands.
