    Thats straight up, fair dinkum, it happens to guys who are not afraid to get a sweat up.

    The corn flour is a big help, and wash the boys regularly, plus airing.

    Some might recommend talc powder, but the deodorant's added will cause more pain.

    I’m wondering if there’s an equivalent thread on a women’s hunting for their chafing issues and I hope to god I never read it .

    This is a very very serious condition and I would highly recommend that at all times you carry a PLB! Just in case the purstion becomes untenable you can’t walk one step further and need to cry for help. Location will be easy to spot! The black stump with the big red balls on top

    Ask a runners club you might get better luck

    I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.

    The sensitivity experienced can also be fungal. Use a foot powder (eg Mycota) and that may well assist.

    For the record that was on my Drs recommendations too, before someone asks what my feet were doing there…..

    Comando is too dangerous when wearing shorts, parts get loose and trapped/damaged in vegetation etc. Cycling shorts or a breathable equivalent best.

    Change your shit catcher's. I used to get chaffing really bad between the cheeks to the point I didn't want to walk. Getting out of the car when home was the worst and for the next few days. I had been wearing so called sport boxers, moisture wicking, antibacterial what ever and then one day just used my standard everyday looser fitting cotton boxers and problem gone.

    I did some research on this a little while ago preparing for a big tramp (someone has to ). I found merino boxers excellent. Running shorts with internal lycra type tights - the Warehouse ones work well and are cheap. The shorts probably won't last long pushing through scrub/matagouri... As soon as any hint of chafing - apply Butt butter https://www.sweetcheeksnz.co.nz/shop-2/buttbutter. Gurney goo is also meant to be good https://www.gurneygoo.com/ .

    Pruning shears, make sure you heat them up to a nice cherry colour first so you don’t bleed out…

    Great thread
    All though my issue has never been an upper thigh issue more just above my knee...especially in colder months... I have found switching to compression style longer legged undergarments, much like the old cycle shorts or the long leg version that footy players wear has helped. Also a wipe morning and night with a non scented baby wipe helps. And in reading some comments here I understand that some readers wipes will be much quicker than others whilst some will be wiping constantly, several times a day. Also loose fitting or nothing at all at night if its an overnight trip helps.

    Yeah it's starting to sound like a right sack

    That 3B cream would be my first choice after trying some different gruds
