chafing during exercise
i keep myself very fit. i run 3 times a week. not far usually between 5- 8km and i go the gym (usually crowwood 3 times a week) luckily i also have a small gym area of my own to use at the moment in my house. Unfortunately i suffer with chaffing. its so annoying. i keep it very clean but it usually effects the groin and thighs any tips from the gym experts out there.

Re: chafing during exercise
For chafing you can try talcum powder.

Re: chafing during exercise
What's causing this? Any idea?
sweat, wetness, or moisture.
heat and humidity.
walking, running, or cycling.
exercise.
crossing your legs while sitting.
having large thigh muscles.
being overweight.
wearing skirts or dresses, thin leggings, or tight clothing like underwear.

Re: chafing during exercise
I'm a old, big chap and used to chafe a lot whilst playing walking football but that has stopped since I started using Under Armour compression shirts and compression long-fitting under shorts
Re: chafing during exercise
I’ve been running 2 to 3 times a week for a couple of years, and used to suffer chafing, not anymore tho after buying a couple of pairs of 2 in 1 running shorts! I can highly recommend them don’t get chafing anymorepushpinpussy wrote: ↑Thu Jan 07, 2021 6:45 pmi keep myself very fit. i run 3 times a week. not far usually between 5- 8km and i go the gym (usually crowwood 3 times a week) luckily i also have a small gym area of my own to use at the moment in my house.

Like I say, Talcum Powder. A bit on the undercarriage works wonders.

Did 10k Monday
Attempted it again Tues and could only do half. And it was freezing. Never had chaffing in cold weather b4 and very sore
Sudocrem doesnt work
Talc doesnt either
Best thing to rub on is daktarin cream. Uaually for athletes foot. Gets rid if it overnight (pain/sores)

Re: chafing during exercise
PPP, I’ve suffered quite a lot with chafing but have never had any issues since I started using ‘DermaGuard Moisturising Barrier Hand Cream’. You can buy it online from Lakeland.
Give it a go it’s certainly sorted me out.

Re: chafing during exercise
I love a run .... have suffered chafing and nipple bleeding on a longer run
For me it’s all about the gear you wear.
I love under armour jocks and long sleeved vest. It clings to everything so there ain’t nothing to chafe.
That’s my ten pence worth.

Runderwear or similar other brands version of sports boxers. No cotton. That’s the killer
Re: chafing during exercise
Underarmour "BoxerJocks" from Sports Direct, best 20 quid you'll ever spend.

Re: chafing during exercise
Seriously a decent lube can help. Though I'd avoid taking it out with you, as that's a little weird. I know that it does work.

Re: chafing during exercise
I can recommend Runderwear designed specifically for this problem - they’re not cheap but definitely worth it...I just bought one pair and wash regularly. I only usually get chafing when I run 10+ miles but I did the Yorkshire Three Peaks (24 miles) last year with these on and had no issues at all. Saves all the faffing with cream and oils etc.

Re: chafing during exercise
Id like to thank people for their advice. i think i may need to purchase better running wear. Kind Regards
Re: chafing during exercise
My mate had this and got some chaffing shorts with like a legging inner made from special material and then the shorts woven in over the top and they fixed it straight away.

Re: chafing during exercise
Chamois cream is the best product to stop any chafing, I use it as a cyclist and wished I’d known about it when I ran regularly.

Re: chafing during exercise
What's exercise?
However, I do get chafing whilst sat on the sofa.
It's very painful when I reach for the chocolates.
