Thigh chafing!

7 replies

ETgo · 22/07/2025 20:00

Has anyone found the solution to thigh chafing? The only time I don't get this is when I'm wearing my longer knee length leggings - I much prefer wearing short shorts especially in the warmer weather but no matter what size or how tight they always ride up a bit and the chafing starts.

I've read that some people use sports tape over the area to stop contact but looking for some recommendations please 🙂

You can get specific chafe cream but I find a bit of roll on deodorant works for me when I’ve mislaid mine

Body glide. It’s amazing.

Yeah the chafe cream that cyclists use for me. Someone will be on to suggest Snag chub rubs in a min and although I have them, I prefer the anti chafe cream.

I use anti perspirant spray

@Eddmrwith bodyglide does that work when it is skin to skin contact causing the chafing and not clothing to skin contact?

It's now added to my Amazon basket - I had to stop my run yesterday because of the discomfort 😔

I use it for skin to skin. Put it on in the morning and it lasts all day. Doesn't feel sticky.

yep I use bodyglide too. also put it under my sports bra on hot days as it stops chaffing from the sweaty boobs (may just be a me problem).
