    Nike or Under Armour if you're casual. 2XU or Skins if you're hardcore.

    Compression shorts are great, Brooks has some running shorts with them built in.

    I bought a pair of those spandex compression shorts, but they weren't quite long enough, maybe it was the brand. I wear ones that go to my knee now, which aren't bad, but quite honestly, not cute at all. I know it's silly, but sometimes you need to have work out clothes you feel good in. Mostly I wear awful old t shirts and long shorts, but I get envious sometimes of the cute running clothes I see. I also get it under the girls (which is annoying because I have good bras!), so it would be multi purpose.

    Try Old Navy for running gear. They have some really cute color combinations and the prices are really reasonable. I have stuff I've been using for over 4 years now and it's held up really well, too.

    That's basically all I wear.

    I was just at old navy last night. Bought three pairs of running shorts for $8 a piece.

    In addition to body glide, I've also used gold bond "friction defense" with success.

    I also just got a really cute running skirt from Skirt Sports. Its called the Gym Girl and it runs a little longer with 5in shorties. They are a nice length because they cover the chub and prevent chafing while keeping you cool. It also has pockets which are perfect for keys, gels and your phone. They are kind of pricey but so worth it. I have gone for 7 miles in the skirt and body glide without any chafing. Hope this helps.

    Been wanting to find a comfortable workout skirt! I'll have to check it out.
