Guys...

Have you ever chaffed pretty bad whilst on the road, and how have you dealt with it?

I know how crippling it can be, and just wanted to know how you all have delt with it when it occured.

Cheers :cheers:

Hey bro, chaffing can be a problem...the movement, sweat, heat are all a recipe for chaffing...there are creams you can buy to relieve and prevent chaffing but I think vitamin E cream should to the trick....

try some bike shorts under your clothes. the modern moisture-wicking materials they have now-a-days could make your life a living heaven, i suppose. maybe something like these.

you could also bring some gold bond powder as preventative maintenance.

bike shorts are also pretty damn stylish. Get a good neon stripe going down the sides and you're an instant lady's man!

:lol1:

i'm guessing rugby under-lifting shorts would do, there very nice, or a nylon cat suit, THE DARKNESS stylee

Definately a pair of athletic style, moisture wicking boxerbrief undershorts will work well. I recommend these...they are fantastic. I wear them under regular shorts when I work out. Under Armour :thumbup:

The 80's Dude!

MTV, Micheal Jackson, Beastie Boys, Bon Jovie, Breakfast Club, Knight Rider, Punky Brewster, Iran-Contra, and the last time the Detroit TIgers won a World Series. hell the last time the Detroit Tigers were in the Penant. Although they bloody lost to Toronto last night... BOO!! Sorry... back to the 80's.... Saturday Night Live when it was funny.

Hunh? What's "rei"?

You aren't a true REI nerd until you've bought a pair of those "trekking poles"

I'm sorry, but I have to laugh every time I see those things. Glorified walking stick.

luisfc1972 04-19-2004 12:14 PM

hmm im going to sound stupid but what is chaffing? is that when you get sore down there and you walk bowlegged because of the pain?

phlipfudge23 04-19-2004 12:42 PM

I LOVE REI! I am totally addicted to that store! My dad and I used to wake up early on Saturday mornings to hit the REI sales before all the good stuff was gone!






I would also like to say that I LOVE MY NALGENE! (sorry, thinking of REI brought that to mind)

Ozpacka 04-21-2004 03:08 AM

yo luisfc...

just to answer your question, yeah, chaffing (spelling?) i guess is caused by your upper thighs rubbing. Its sumtimes painful because when you work up a sweat due to the fact that sweat contains salt, and you can imagine that when its really bad, its like having sandpaper b/w your legs... Not fun in the slightest. Hope that helps.

Yeah, might throw a pair of scienctific underwear in the kit just in case. Could be a life saver. :rolleyes:
