Best remedy for chafing?

[jackiebolen]

Not sure about the guys, but if you're a woman, don't wear underwear under your shorts or pants. Get some air circulation going and most of your problems will hopefully be prevented.

================================================
Works for men too Jackie. That was the other half of my cure in 2003.

How many miles/day are people with these cures walking? It might be possible, for example, that for under 15 miles/day compression shorts work well, but over that body glide is needed...


Also, how long does a container of body-glide last? How long does a container of the travel size last?

Didn't mention this in my earlier thread ...but the cure for me was switching to a kilt (for a couple months) and regular use of premoistened aloe towlets to prevent the salt in my perspiration to dry and crystalize on the skin surface.

Once again the best advise so far. This is the only solution if the rain keeps up for more than five days. There are other methods to keep your skin clean in areas that rub, but this is one of the best. There is no reason for fabric that turns into a wet diaper between your legs. Yet again it is important to find out what Minnisota does and avoid it.

I used to get the chafing or on long hot summer trips, buttrash, which is also very painful.
I used to use GoldBond but after our first baby I found the miracle of A+D or J&J Diaper cream daiper rash ointment- The stuff that smells like fish. It works wonders. I used it for about 5 years and love it. I keep a tiny tube of it in my TP ziplock - always handy.
I bought some Body Glide at REI last year and that also works wonders - but put it on before you take your first step, whereas diaper rash ointment is for when the pain starts.

I found that it was the type of clothing I wear. I now wear the moisture wicking type of cloth with NO underware. Lose fitting so the breeze can assist is keeping me happy. I found the underware was one of the biggiest problems for me.

That works for at least one guy I know personally.

I find vasaline to be pretty good at providing a waterproof lubricating surface. A cleaning at the end of the day to remove salt is helpful. Pay attention to good cleaning habits when visiting the privy. Pre moistened wipes are handy (non-alchohol!). Please don't leave them in the privy.

baby powder works for me.

I hike on the Appalachian Trail, and normally tell other people it is a great idea. If you have a personality at all similiar to BJ's, please do follow his advice, and don't hike on the AT (especially this spring and early summer, when I'll be thru-hiking).
