Good morning! This may fall into the TMI category but i'm in some serious distress so if anyone could help me out I would appreciate it. My running history is as follows: 2 halfs, one marathon, a few 10k...okay so I am a runner. I am probably my heaviest right now (170ish, give or take) in my whole running life so i'm not sure if this plays a factor or not. So here it is...I get severe chaffing (rubbed raw) on my dupa between my big cheeks if I do anything past 3 miles!!!!!! Its been so bad that I have a permanent scarring on my butt. Anyone else experience this? Should I try running without gutchies? I'd hate to lather up with vaseline for just 3 miles, it may come to that :(

    I weigh 182. The only chaffing trouble I had was when my shorts were too loose. I got better fitting clothes and the chaffing went away. I'm very careful now on longer running days to pick clothes that fit well (don't ride up or down). Good luck.
