I felt I was the only person in the world with this “issue”. I’m so glad this guy had the courage to make this video. I feel good knowing it’s normal and that it can be addressed.
Very sensible advice! I have had some serious chaffing issues and you are the only one who recommends taking away the liner. My liners were an issue😡Thanks buddy👍
I‘ve been prepping for a 10k. Ran 10 miles tonight because I was feeling good. I usually average 6-10 miles a day in 70•+ weather. Tonight was about 65•.I didn’t even break a sweat. Yet When I got home, I realized that my boxers were bloody. Normally I wear compression shorts but this time I was wearing normal boxers. They were a lot more loose than my usual compression shorts and I feel like that had something to do with it.
I find the seems of my undershorts make more chafing.I started to turn my shorts inside out with all the stitching to the outside this was very effective.And i wanna say if you get the chafing badly it is agonising or at least for me it was.
I just got some compression undies from target and cut my liner. Those liners are trash, really. I do 2 hrs on treadmill and that liner flat seam was grating the ole grundle. Focusing on the tightest best compressions first is the answer. Thanks for the video!
Yeah the liners may work for a 5k or 10k...not for any distance more in my opinion. It is 8:10am and I need to be running but I am here reading comments and drinking coffee and your "grating the ole grundle" got me good...😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So these "tights" are different that boxer briefs? My upper thighs rub together and literally burn holes in my shorts. Even the expensive shorts have developed holes.
Ladies, if anyone has ideas about cutting down on chafing underneath your sports bra chest band, feel free to chime in. I haven't been able to stop that from happening especially in races that are 10+ miles, and very hot. I am developing a permanent scar under my boobs on my rib cage at this point.
There are lighter oil products and heavier ones. You probably need a heavier (thicker) one. Run Guard to me lasts a bit longer and so does Gurney Goo. But Gurney Goo smells very strongly of tea-tree oil and is probably better for feet - it's great for rainy races. You might also try KT tape.
Clean your skin very well (it has to be completely oil free and dry) and put kinesiotape on there. It sticks very well, is flexible and breathable and perfectly does the job of taking all the rubbing instead of your skin. Cut to the size you need, round the edges and rub them onto your skin well and they should stay there for days 😊
I'm not a runner but a chef. I get it between my legs next to my balls. I don't have much of a gap between my legs. How do I stop from consistently rubbing skin together? I'm not a small built guy
