I prefer SportShield roll-on. I am still on my first bottle...bought last Summer, I believe. About the same price as BG, but lasts much longer and works far better, IMO.

only a thick skin will protect you from chaffing. However, I've heard that Vaseline works well for chafing, although it can be messy. I'm assuming it's your thighs? You might want to consider compression shorts. You can always wear regular shorts/pants over top of them if you are uncomfortable in them alone.

Hey good to hear from you. But seriously I wear them more to keep my knees together.
