I wear compression shorts and STILL have issues with inner thigh chafing, especially during jogging because I run with my legs really close together. What are your methods for preventing this unsightly, painful rash?

Thanks for reading my post.

    Have you thought about nappy rash cream? I haven't tried it, I don't get a rash but it might work? You'd put the rash cream on first and then baby powder over the top??

    This has to be one of my biggest pet hates of being overweight... Thighs rubbing together :-(
    I bought some control knickers that go half way down my thighs for wearing with dresses / skirts during summer weather - roll on cooler weather so I can wear tights again !!
