    cheap solution: compression running shorts + roll on deodorant on your inner thighs.

    better/slightly more expensive solution: compression running shorts + one of these two products:

    1. SLIK: http://www.amazon.com/SLIK-Official-Product-of-Ironman/dp/B0060NHLX0
    2. Body Glide: http://www.amazon.com/Bodyglide-Original-Anti-Chafe-Balm-1-5Ounce/dp/B00288L2N6/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1377289876&sr=1-1&keywords=Glide

    I had this problem when I was doing a lot of uphill walking. It wasn't chub rub, but more like my shorts were cutting into my thighs. When I lift my leg, my thigh muscle gets much bigger and the shorts cut into them. When I have my foot on the ground, my thigh muscle is smaller and so I don't have the problem. Repeated lifting of the leg was causing my issue. (Sorry this isn't very scientific but I hope you get the picture).

    The two things that worked for me:
    1 - Cut the seam on the inside of the shorts so there was more "breathing room" for my thighs (but not more fabric to cause a shifting/rubbing/crotch rise issue)
    2 - Compression shorts under my shorts/skirt.

    I hope you find an answer! Good luck.

    Compression shorts and Gold Bond Anti-Chafe, looks like a deodorant stick and can be found at most drug stores.

    Nothing wrong with big quads either. :drinker:

    Holy shnikes! All those replies. Well I don't have the loose skin, but by reading some of the post I think it may be because I wear the bigger basketball type of shorts. When I run they try to like do this weird climbing thing. Today I ran again despite the pain, and it didn't hurt until the end and I saw it through, cause nothing is going to stop me from my mon - fri work out goals. I'm stubborn like that.

    Thank you for all the replies, I have a 5 miler coming up on September 25th so will definitely be using some of this!! Ya'll is the bestest!

    I'm not sure I understand the problem. Can you post photos? ;)

    lol! So there I am reading all these replies, and then BOOM I get hit with this post. Was funny! Thanks for all the replies again. I think Ill go with trying anything besides the whole spandex type thing. Nothing against them, but if I had a GQ model's body I sure wouldn't wear spandex of any sort. I'll have to check out a local run shop that is here and see if they have any of the stuff you all mentioned. Thanks again!

    I have absolutely no suggestions or advice whatsoever. I am, however, now sitting thinking about man bits. On my own. Thanks for that. ;)

    lol, well we accomplished two things. Now your thinking happy thoughts, and I know what to do so I can run longer and not have injuries below the (thick) jump rope area. Everyone wins here!

    I have lost a bunch of weight and have loose skin on my inner thighs the only way to keep it from chaffing is 2 fold.... I use Body glide anti chaffing sticks I buy off Amazon and I wear Nike Pro Compression shorts and between the 2 of these I have no issues anymore..... Best of Luck

    attached a link to the bodyglide:

    I was going to suggest the tight shorts too.

    hmmmm...if I am not mistaken, you asked this before and everyone suggested the same thing. Did you try any of these suggestions?

    Me? No. This would be the first time I've brought up my shorts doing emo things to my legs.
