i took a newb on an overnight to tinker cliffs years ago, and he was worried about chafing. we were loading up at the mac caffee trail head and he pulls out a jar of vaseline and announces 'it's time to slather the boys!'...
i didn't know quite what to make of it. but he had his own tent, so it was all good.

I'll second body glide, and don't use cotton underwear, or maybe not ANY. Some folks find relief wearing "compression shorts" like I wear for cycling, but without the chamois liner. Seems hot to me.

Losing weight is possibly one way to minimize it, but castration would probably end all problems.

"lose weight"

I'm not fat at all. I wrestled for 8 years, and I have really muscular thighs because of it.

compression shorts and gold bond. and try not to burn up the trail with your muscular piston driving get- a- long sticks...

[Tinker]

Allow those thighs of steel to atrophy and they won't chafe any more.

From my end, the "weight" thing was in jest, as was the castration and the above comment.
Bodyglide - lots and lots of it (before chafing). It works.

Thanks.

what kind of pants/shorts are you wearing when this happens?

[austinlowes17]

Northface Paramount Zip Offs

Compression shorts under your hiking shorts or pants. Golite makes a good pair. Body Glide also works.

As noted above, never wear cotton underwear. (Learned that lesson the hard way.)

[orangebug]

Body glide or similar to prevent.

Compression boxers once it happens.

This is one thing that duct tape can't help.

mmm.... well, maybe if you put it on before...

Body glide is too heavy to justify its usefulness. You're probably going to be wearing underwear anyway, so just get some athletic boxer-briefs (underarmor or similar) and you'll be fine.

Buy some of these and the problem is history. Body glide works but must be reapplied. These boxers solve the problem.

They are kinda expensive for "just underwear" but they are WELL worth it.
