Serious, yet sort of embarassing, question... I work out every day and I work out hard. I can deal with the muscle soreness, but not with the soreness from chafing. Any suggestions on how to lessen this? It's stalling me!

Is it on your thighs? One of my friends reported excellent results from biker shorts underneath workout clothes.0

UGH!!! That is the worst feeling! I live in GA, so I get so hot and sweaty..I would love to wear shorts/dresses/skirts but rarely do because my thighs will get so red and irritated.0 -
Yup, try body glide. It will change your life and allow you to wear skirts during the summer without "chubrub"0

Monistat makes a product called anti chafing gel that works pretty well also. (it's found in the condom/lube area of the store)0

i know it sounds weird but i prefer cornstarch over babypowder seems to work better to me .. you can buy the kind for cooking or there is some by johnsons in the babypowder section that has a scent both work good to me.0

I wear leggings or pants and make sure that my thighs dont touch. I agree with the biker shorts either as your bottoms or under your bottoms. Anything that clings to your body and cant move freely is best!0

"Chubrub!"
That is the greatest word I have heard todayI personally go the bike shorts route.

I wear spandex shorts with a 7-9 inch inseam to keep things from rubbing. the longer inseam means they're less likely to ride up as you move.0

^this...or you could also try corn starch (works as an absorbing agent same as the same as the deodorant); or if the chaffing is really bad (as in severely red, excoriated, or sore), you can obtain a prescription cream from your physician, typically something like Clotrimaderm works really well and clears it up quickly.0 -

Yes, it's on my thighs!
Thanks for all the suggestions, guys!0 -
I've used Monistat chafing relief powder-gel and it works amazing and it's pretty cheap too.0

Sudocrem or any of the thick creams designed to treat sunburn / nappy rash.
Even when I was at my lightest (about 9st) I had inner thighs that came together like a hammer and anvil (and created as much heat, I should think) so I have always used this stuff by the bucketload.
The talcs etc are fine for walking around but if you are working out (esp for 30 mins plus) you need some oil based protection down there0 -
