I had chafing scars from about 2 1/2 years ago that just went away. That's what I got for wearing the same runderwear so many days in a row. I always wore the small, sharp edged ones because they didn't leave a tan line and all it did was leave sexy deep scars on the insides of my legs that I didn't feel at the time. Weird.

Anyone else out there who has never experienced chafing from running? Perhaps it's because I do not run as much or as long as some others (currently up to 20 mpw), or maybe I was just genetically endowed with great skin. Also I am pretty skinny (6 ft and about 148 pounds), so I don't have a lot of extra skin rubbing . Am I just lucky? Or will my days of chafing soon come upon me as I increase my distances?

Borrow my thighs, and you, too, can experience chafing.

If you do, a little Diaper rash cream helps after the fact. I've used the Original Desitine.

Thanks for the tip! I know I have some of that left over in the back of the cabinet from the diaper days in the past... Smile

I have no idea why this subject line prompted the development of a poem in my head...but it did and here it is: I’ve never experienced chaffing Not thigh, not nipple, not feet I’ve never experienced chaffing I say that with conceit I’ve never experienced chaffing Does that make me atypical or odd I’ve never experienced chaffing Is that just because I’ve got a super skinny bod? I’ve never experienced chaffing I’m isolated from this near universal thing I’ve never experienced chaffing No squeal at the post run shower sting I’ve never experienced chaffing No required use of lube or body glide I’ve never experienced chaffing It’s so nice I don’t have scars to hide
