Re: Embarrasing but serious question
Ok sweat is a possible problem walking and plastic seats in the vans don’t help I found always wear cotton underwear sudocrem and baby powder helps better than barrier cream and as soon as you get home shower and change into clean dry clothes hope that helps

I found loosely fitting boxers the worse thing you can wear.Tighter sports type are better as they don’t chafe.

This, and losing weight was the main solve for me. When I started at RM I was 14 stone with thunder thighs that would chafe all day, now sitting around 8.5-9 stone and no issues.scoobydo79 wrote: ↑04 Dec 2020, 15:53I found loosely fitting boxers the worse thing you can wear.Tighter sports type are better as they don’t chafe.

Re: Embarrasing but serious question
OP from a postlady, so not sure she is in boxers.
I have not had this problem but would seem rubbing would be causing the problem.
Really big shorts and no pants?

Sudacream is the remedy! Will stop soreness and rubbing and give time to heal.
My guess is you have hemorrhoids? Or early onset of

Post persons red ring
and other chaffing is very common.
Yeah get this quite often esp in the summer. Best to use a barrier type cream before you start walking. If it get really bad then a antiseptic cream to stop infection.
Being male i tend to go Commando for most of the summer months. Rest of the year its cotton boxers only.

Re: Embarrasing but serious question
I've had bad chafing, but thankfully not the other problem.
Lycra shorts helped tremendously with that, they keep tight to your thighs so the lycra is rubbing against lycra, instead of flesh rubbing flesh. On the worst of summer I'll add some Lanacane Anti Chafing Gel.
I've never tried the Lanacane cream, just the gel. Tried some BodyGlide anti-chafing stuff, but wasn't impressed.
As for the "Back crack and sack", I've a bidet so always keep the crack shaved, and the front (just because I always have), but I deliberately don't shave my upper thighs. They're not very hairy, but I figure the bit of soft hair there will act as a cushion?
Good luck with it, sounds painful.
