alright so i have been were you are out in the woods for long preiods and start to get chaffing and you have none of that stuff. so we used Duct Tape which almost everyone carries and is realitivly cheap and you just stick it on the right spot and leave it cause eventually it will fall off when you take a shower. so until then you are golden and have no problem now i know it may sound weird but it works and you don't even notice it.

I use Boxer Briefs, they hold everything in place and provide good comfort between the legs. Basically so theres no skin rubbing on skin.

Wow! what a great thread.

First: the 80's Rock
Second: REI Kicks serious ass... yeah buddy!
Third: I as well wear boxer briefs but that does not stop the chaffing , I used to be a server so I would work 12 hour days or longer running around sweating my "ass" off so I've learned what to do in emergencies: you ready for this?? Take some toilet paper and moisten it, not so much that it falls apart, but damp and...Well... stick between your ass cheeks, oh yeah baby you like that don't ya...

that should hold you over for a couple of 3 or 4 hours until you can get to a place where you can put any type of vitamin E moisturizer on it, goldbond works the best because it is medicated. You put that on you'll feel great.

Preventive would be to change your underwhere every once in a while, also Baby powder is a god send.

Hope this helps

Somebody spelled it wrong. It's "chafing", from "chafe."

v. chafed, chaf·ing, chafes
v. tr.
To wear away or irritate by rubbing.
To annoy; vex.
To warm by rubbing, as with the hands.

v. intr.
To rub and cause irritation or friction: The high collar chafed against my neck.
To become worn or sore from rubbing.
To feel irritated or impatient: chafed at the delay.

n.
Warmth, wear, or soreness produced by friction.
Annoyance; vexation.

Well, I'm not exactly sure about that either. It seems like some guys' butt cheeks tend to get chafed. Maybe it's because of the hair factor-- I don't know and I really don't want to know. B) Or maybe it's inner-upper thighs.

*shrug*

Try undies made of some kind of quick dry material and some UtterBlam this stuff is the best when it comes to smoothing things out for you,I've used it for years of biking.

By any chance do you mean "Udder Balm"? Or maybe "Bag Balm"? Cause Utter Blam sounds like one of those sound effects you'd see splashed across the screen in an episode of the Batman TV Show.
