Chaffing.... Is a problem

 Last Sunday I went for my first (in my mind) real-omg this is not a short jog-distance run, 7 km. It went well besides one little problem... Chafe! It was warm and humid and I was wearing shorts and the distance was just long enough that the friction of my thighs rubbing continuously resulted in some fairly uncomfortable rubbing by the 5km mark. Omg, and by the end of the run, it was like fire! And until it healed up enough I was doing an attractive waddle the next day! So I decided that since I have some  "thunder thighs" going on some sort protective cream was in order. Let me tell you, asking the skinny
teenage sales clerk at the bike store for anti-Chaffing cream because I have my thighs rub against each other when I run was somewhat embarrassing! But moving on beyond that I now have a protective cream that works great! It isn't sticky or slimy and really prevents chaffing. Added plus is that is great to use as a healing cream as well! Now me and my thighs are ready to run painlessly!

    Not the chafing! The worst!! But I feel you - I actually run in running crops to avoid this very thing. But congrats on the 7km!

    I can't even imagine how this running-anti-chafing cream works but it sounds like magic. Congratulations on the 7km! Especially in this heat!

    (Why is there a swimmer on it?)

    I think its designed for triathlon racers, so they put it on before the start of the race (the swim) so it has to be water resistant? Anyways, its like magic!
