Can we share our chafing tips?
I'm normally not bad with chafing, but the heat today has really got me bad.
What's your trick to preventing / treating chafing?
I normally use some long legged boxers with 10% Lycra / Elastane, they're supposed to grip your skin and reduce chafing, but using them and Lanacane (anti chafing gel) wasn't enough for today.

As a cure Bepanthen nappy rash cream to soothe the pain it really does work.

Lube up on petroleum jelly in the morning and take another dollop in rolled up tissue just in case i get caught short when out on my round (for reapplication purposes). does the trick for me.

Sudocream, for nappy rash as well, also acts as a preventative.ted_e_bear wrote: ↑18 Jul 2022, 19:27As a cure Bepanthen nappy rash cream to soothe the pain it really does work.

Amen to that Mate!
Johnsons Baby Powder does the trick for me ... in the "Underpants Area"!
Plus once you get home have a shower .... sweat is SALT. Leave it even a little while and it's painfull. Goes to say clean Undercrackers EVERY day. If you check you're shorts/trousers you'll see a White deposit around your Bum... that's SALT. Any wonder why it irritates you?

Stick deodorant on the thighs and other areas. Stops chafing and sweating, I use mitchum and never need to apply more than once a day.
Obviously I choose to do it in public, in uniform

Nike Cool compression shorts i would recommend. Never had chafing since using them. Expensive but they work.

Re: Can we share our chafing tips?
Big yes to powdered balls. Do it first thing before you head off to work and if necessary find a private place to reapply some later on. Tried all the gels and creams but they just seem to wear off too quickly. Long legged briefs or boxers can also help! 
Union what Union? Do we have a union?
