Try C9 compression shorts from Target. Wear without anything underneath. I'm 210 lbs and 5' 10" and my legs are pretty big and I was having alot of chafeing issues but these along with some Bodyglide and I'm good to go. I pull on a pair of loose fitting gym shorts over the top for a little modesty.

They also :cough: hold the package :cough:

I found some Nike running shorts with compression liner sewn in.  The seams are on top of the liner, not against the skin.

I typically go commando with shorts liners to hold things in place. The seams would still rub painfully in places during long runs. Body glide in those regions helped most of the time.

These shorts just don't rub ever!  They were on summer clearance so I got them for less than $15.00.  They have been THE most comfortable alternative I have found and NO RUBBING.

Many times on compression shorts and/or running briefs the seams are constructed such that the raised or thickest part is on the (supposed) inside, against your skin. I've run into much chaffe and other angst with this until I realized that I just needed to wear them inside out, with those seams facing outward. I've enjoyed wearing these items much more since doing so. Just some added thoughts...

That's a good point. I've noticed that often the difference between the expensive name brand athletic wear and the cheap store brand stuff is the quality of the finish on the seams. The expensive stuff goes to the trouble to sew inner seams flat, not just the outer seams. So buy the cheap stuff and wear it inside out.
