Running Shorts

[Icenii]

I have a BMI of 21 but my inner thighs are very slack and curvy. I've tried a few different running shorts, some of those double layer ones, and they just roll up and I end up with chub rub fairly quickly.

I'd rather not faff around with powder or barrier creams. Anything else can't wear shorts or found a good pair? Or do I need to stick with short leggings?

The best twin layer shorts I've used are the Ronhill Marathon shorts. They are longer and the underlayer doesn't move. Or else you could try the Nike Trail shorts which are longer and a bit like cycling shorts?

Some people's shape/skin just rubs easily. I got chub rub when I was 11 and skinny because narrow hips.

I run in long cycling shorts (not the padded type). Short shorts just useless. Most of the running brands have a choice of lengths available!

The double layer ones always seem to roll up. Runderwear long shorts otoh don't move and then you can wear them under anything you want

Cycling shorts or capris?

If there is elastic in the inner layer try cutting it. I find that stops the rubbing. Or cycle shorts, as others have said.

I'd almost given up trying to find running shorts that didn't drive me crazy. The worst pair were the double layered Ron Hill ones that lots of people love so I assume it comes down to fit and the shape of your legs. I have some cycling short type length ones from Decathlon that were about £6 and they're bearable and don't rub me. People rave about the Tikiboo cycling short style and looser fit ones but I haven't tried them. Flanci do longer length shorts and skorts too.
