    So I am in my 3rd week of C25k and im wondering... what and the heck do you do for chafing aka "Chub rub" LMFAO... like seriously... I can not wait until my thighs stop touching so i dont have to worry about this crap....

    I have compression shorts.... and it works well... but it makes my shorts slide down... one of my friends suggested vasaline... but that would leave oil stains.

    so... ideas?

    Haha some friends and I just had a chub rub convo yesterday and one of them said rubbing solid deodorant in that are really helps!

    For chaffing "anywhere!" I use glide it's in the for of a deoderant stick. (get it at a local running/sports store) Vaseline or chapstick work too,

    Bodyglide stick. It is made just for this. You don't want to use a drying agent like cornstarch as that will only intensify the pain and chafe. I wear it on my inner thighs, under my bra and on my toes when running. It works great. Get it at any sporting goods store.

    Huge thumbs up for the body glide. I've used it for really long hikes and really intense workouts and it works the whole time.

    this is going to sound weird but deodorant will help stop it if you dont have baby powder lying around and feel like using something you already have around the house

    Also etsy.com is a good place to find some nice scented body powders that don't have cornstarch in them.
