How to prevent chafing when running

[@Mackie17]

I still chaff between my thighs with compression shorts, but if I combine them with vaseline it's great.

[@lalo6313]

You’re absolutely right. It does f---king suck!

[@darrenjones3080]

Ran my first 10km at the weekend, felt chafing during the run but carried on of course. When I took my boxers off they were covered in blood from the thigh chafing! I wasn’t expecting that. I’ve had minor chafing from time to time but this was by far the worst! Just about healed up now, but I’ll definitely be investing in some compression shorts

[@kevinreynolds3594]

Yup same with me, 21k the other day and it was so bad. I didn’t know it was THAT sore, like my nipples and thighs were so sore that I was walking around like I was in a Mexican standoff in an old western. Lesson learned

[@eons8941]

I've been running for 21 years and I got my first chaffing last week in my theighs.. I dunno why it's happening to me just now

[@read4264]

Hey how did you get rid of it I just got chafing yesterday 😢

[@mikebluet]

@@read4264 Did it ever go away? Normally it will form a scab and then eventually the scab will fall off

[@harbhajansingh5506]

1) wash butt,thigh 2)use rubbing alcohol over those areas 3)then use body glide, or vaseline,or powder The butt is most worst as you are prone to infection and boil with no heads Tip If you are more prone to friction do alternative days light gym and running respectively

[@chrisnoyer9709]

Oh my God I wish I would have watched this before I ran but I didn't and 15 miles run later, my groin area has it super bad and yes it's sucks lol, I learned a valuable lesson today

[@classyassmothafucka8890]

Compression shorts can make the problem worse too because spandex isn't absorbent. It may sound strange but your best option just might be whitey tighties. It eliminates scrotum/leg contact (which is where moisture usually hides) and it is actually an absorbent material. There are 2 factors to chub rub. Moisture and friction. You have to determine whether you are correcting for a friction chafe... or a moisture chafe. If you're running a marathon, sure... get semi-long compressor shorts and make sure they fit great and don't ride in any direction. If you're suffering from humidity in your groin (from a bit of sweat and wearing thick work pants for extended periods of time being unable to adjust) maybe just some whitey tighties and some talcom powder will be the best option for you.

im a fat dude and and1 underwear is good enough

[@roughryder5]

This might a disgusting topic but when I went for a run using my compression pants for the first time, I immediately noticed 5 minutes into the run that there was painful pinching in the crotch/groin area (felt like my pubic hairs were caught and were constantly being pulled with ever step). It was severely uncomfortable to point where I didn't even feel like running. When I got home, I immediately took the pants off and I noticed that there were small groups of tangled up/bunched hair on either side (like 12-15 pieces of hair in each bundle). So basically every time I took a step I would be pulling like 50 pieces of hair on either side and it KILLLLLED! I noticed my pubic hair were too long in that area, so I took my trimmer and set it to #1 and shaved the inside part of my thighs. Made a huge difference.

[@lajoieskin2561]

This tangled hair issue is pretty common. Calmmé anti-chafing cream was tested on athletes in harsh Australian conditions for over 3.5 years. It was tested on their perineum. It is used by surf boat rowers for marathon races and marathons runners. Sold internationally online. www.lajoieskin.com

[@joecater894]

im a ten miles a day runner and that's the point it happens.. which limits my milage... its material on skin that's the problem for me..

[@anomnomnomnivore1350]

Two solutions: baby powder and running tights! Or Vaseline if you don’t mind that on your thighs and butt but it just feels weird for me.

[@andys121.]

lanacane anti chafing is far better than Vaseline , try under armour heat gear compressions shorts , their vented at the back to allow airflow . about the best compressions ive tried

[@devingoss4458]

by god i got the worst problem my gens rub all around my thighs and causes bad sores after awhile. atopic dermititus

[@ednyc212]

Thank you for your advice mate! Good to know that I won’t need a Brazilian wax which I thought was the only solution at first. As you mentioned chafing is very uncomfortable! Your information was very helpful!!

[@lukehorn7653]

Thanks for the tips, even as I have been running for a long time, I still develop Runner's Rash when running but hopefully this helps.

[@chanceblevins6682]

Yeah but those poly compression shorts just makes me sweat more. Makes it worse

[@help3303]

Tight fitting didn't help.

[@jasoncooper3939]

Hi what size do you go for in compression tights im size 12 ? Also do you were under were under tights?

[@rawnyjee7135]

I bought the expensive ones and the cheap one but after 2 weeks the material got worn out made 2 holes.

[@alanjackson2540]

Fuck me I have suffered chaffing on my thighs for the past 12 months sometimes taking a week to heal. Thanks for this vid dude like really thanks.

[@nigelstanford4]

Are you supposed to wear underwear under your compression shorts?

[@lucienphillips8323]

I still scare while wearing a tights

[@BikeTeacher]

Awesome, great advice. Running my first half marathon In October at the Rock n Roll San Jose. Chafing is a bitch!

[@Nikunj573]

Thank you for the information!

[@chriswillhite5260]

Does leg chadding quit when you lpaw weight I'm 5 8 and 210 If I lose 50 pounds can I go twice as long before chaffing

[@cbasile22]

kalclash fitness I started running and even with the tesla compressing gear, I got the same thing. I put another pant on top of the pants tesla , maybe that is the problem? thanks; I will try putting vaceline next time, ( just started running) thanks

Vasaline only works for a short amount of time and then it rubs off. Calmmé anti-chafing cream was tested on athletes in harsh Australian conditions for over 3.5 years. It is used by surf boat rowers for marathon races and marathons runners. Sold internationally online. www.lajoieskin.com

When a guy gets shafin in the butt can that be prevented with boxers or cream

[@crayonjambe7515]

Am i the only one whos never had chaffing from running?

[@chrdvr6480]

The audio is low

10 drops of mustard oil with 30 drops of cold water..

[@jamiebalson4260]

nipple chafing? never had that problem, get a good sports bra, I still get the thigh chafing with leggings at times

[@jayds8]

Mainly happens to men because of t shirts moving while running

[@FordyRuns]

Tks great video with some interesting points - I swear by vaseline it does the job for me

[@lucaraimondo5967]

the real bitch is, forgive my french, ball chafing... which funny enough though I started to notice after I started to use my compression shorts, especially when I start to use them without underwear and I think you are supposed to use them that way... suggestion? ps. I like that you don't believe all the marketing BS...

[@ollie5707]

i think its the heat that the balls generate, the sweat, creates a problem especially if the compression shorts are synthetic material with no air vents (will get too hot). im in humid climate and ive had this problem recently. i saw a comment above mention under armour has a compression short with air vents to stay cooler so should be the go

[@osrseasybf2831]

you'll never alienate viewers that use fowl language if you don't use foul language....but if you do use fowl language then you will always be running the risk of alienating views like me who have children watching with them.
