    I just started using baby powder, so far no issues. When I first started running the chafing was horrible!!!!!! But baby powder has been helping BIG TIME!!!

    GoldBond baby powder or good old plain cornstarch powder, but I also try to wear tight pants (at least on my thighes).

    For the gym, I got 3 pairs of "on sale - target $7-8 each" capri style pants that when I first started were so damn tight..... ahum, NOTHING moved and nothing rubbed (LOL). I still wear them but since going they are now looser and fit so much better, but still more than tight enough to prevent rubbing.

    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.
    I tried corn starch, and ended up with underwear full of tiny tamales.

    LMAO

    Ok, I got bike shorts *sighs* As unattractive as I look in them, I'll wear them under my regular workout pants! Thanks for all the suggestions!

    I've used Monistat chafing relief powder-gel and it works amazing and it's pretty cheap too.

    Do you have to carry it with you and reapply several times a day, or does it last a while?

    I just bought some body glide for my feet (I ALWAYS get blisters from walking more than a mile or two), haven't tried it on inner thighs though!

    I use BodyShield. It's a silicone based roll-on.

    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!

    USE BODY GLIDE! It's sweat proof, water proof, and stays on until you wash it off. I use it for more than just working out .. it takes care of chub rub so I can wear skirts without an extra layer besides underwear. It was originally formulated for runners to keep their clothes from chafing but the Big Girl World has found use for it too. I promise, you'll love it. http://www.bodyglide.com/

    I've read the reviews for BodyGlide and am considering buying it. Which one do you ladies use? I've read that you get less product for the BodyGlide For Women it is basically the same thing with a pink top....which one do you all use??

    Yup, try body glide. It will change your life and allow you to wear skirts during the summer without "chubrub"

    Chubrub! lol can I use that one?

    Yes, get the regular one. Body Glide "For Her" is a rip off.

    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!
    I do this!
