I have the same issue. I do have a cream for after, but nothing to save me first.0

I wear loose yoga capri shorts (or long shorts, however you want to call it) otherwise my shorts ride up in between my legs because of my thigh fat. This helps prevent the skin from touching.0

I bought leggings, there comfortable, and keep me cool, and my legs don't rub together! I got mine at Walmart they are like 13$ and only go up to 2x, which is what I have. That works for me if you don't like those, you can try spandex under your jogging shorts. :glasses:0

I use baby powder! =D and I'm not really shy or care about what people might think, so I'll take my Mini baby powder out and apply it if I feel it bothering me LOL I've heard there's actually stuff out there for joggers that you can apply, but baby powder is so much cheaper! Good luck!0

I have a cream called "Lanacane anti-chafing gel".
It works amazingly well. I didnt expect it, it doesnt feel gooy or sticky or wet, it drys into a film and then ...no chafing. Awesome.0 -
I wear leggings, but then I wear sweat pants over them..the world doesn't need to see me in leggings just yet :laugh:0

Change what your wearing, both as underwear and as running shorts. Look into Under Armour products. They make some good underwear thats meant for running.0
-
I've seen anti-chafing sticks/gels sold at running shops. I have yet to try it though.0

There are plenty of remedies about but the best product to use is called Glide. It's found in sporting goods stores, REI, Running specialty stores etc. Excellent product!0

Try antiperspirant.0

Thank you all i think ill try the baby powder for now..0
-
wear tighty bike shorts under your regular shorts. They work like a CHARM! Walmart actually has a decent workout clothing section and a nice selection of compression type shorts. Check it out!0

runlube (or something similar). it's a sports lubricant oil.0
-
Boxer briefs helped for me.0

Spandex! I know I know but seriously, the tight fitting layer under your regular clothes will make a world of difference. Also Monastat makes a cream that works like a silicone lube. You rub it on the insides of your thighs and it reduces the friction. I used it a lot when I was at my heaviest- especially in the summer. Just keep walking, biking, swimming anything you can and that really will go away. (it may be one of the last things but it will go away.)0

You can buy a product called "Body Glide" at any running store. It comes in a deodorant shaped tube and it's like vasoline but in a firmer consistency. You rub it on all the spots that chafe, such as inner thighs, under the breasts, arm pits, etc before you exercise and it prevents chafing. It works wonders! Good luck!0

The lanacane (sp?) anti-chafing gel works well, as does Glide, sold in running stores. Good luck! :flowerforyou:0

If you hit up a store with specialty workout clothes like a Nike or REI they have running/jogging pants/capris that I use -- as a guy you probably don't want to wear just walmart leggings but I've seen guys in the ones from Nike and they look good (hot) -- and actually I look awesome in mine whereas every other pair of cheaper ones I tried on I looked...fat.
Not that it really matters but it kind of makes me feel better since I'm working out where people can see me0 -
Maybe spandex but were do they sell them for men.. Big 5?0
-
Solid deodorant applied beforehand works well. Or bike shorts.0
