Chafing

 

Do you have problems with chafing on long runs?  What are some of the most embarrassing chafing problems you've heard about, and how were they dealt with?

Bodyglide.  All over my inner thighs, and of course the delicate side-boob area.

It's good to know that side-boob is an ok discussion topic, though.

Re: Chafing

Dana, I have some tight yoga pants that after losing 11 lbs they were lose around my thighs.  I tried to run in them and because the seam wasn't tight against my skin it chaffed my inner thighs.

Re: Chafing

 

I saw my MT a few hours after my long run.  After the session, she looked at me and said "sweetie, M--- really needs to be a little more gentle with you down there."

 

 

dealt with them???  Aquaphor

 

 

bypass them?  bodyglide

Re: Chafing

Yo Dana, how's it hangin'?  I don't have chafing problems because I often wear compression shorts which protect my inner thighs.  But sometimes on runs over 20 miles the hair in my butt crack gets irritated.  So I apply a liberal amount of Bodyglide to said crack.  It works well and also is a good precaution in case I get kidnapped by a bus load of pirates.

I'd have thought pirates would be in boats rather than buses.

 

 

Huh.  I really don't know nuttin'.

Bloody nipples, of course. I am sure someone around her has a picture that can get all banned.

Re: Chafing

 

If you think long runs are bad, try cycling for 3+ hours....It's murder on the girl parts.  Probably the boy parts too, but I dont have any of those.

 

 

I am a strong believer in aquaphor as well.

Re: Chafing

I work with the Anti-Monkey Butt Team, and all biases aside,

I've gotta say- this stuff really works to fight chafing problems.   We've sent it this powder

to countless runners, bikers, and athletes, and nearly everyone has positive

reviews- it's got talc and calamine which gives it the cooling sensation that other powders dont have.
