Everytime I run I get a chaffing in between my legs.  I wear briefs and some sort if mesh shorts.  Just looking for some suggestions.... thanks

I'm a big fan of freeballing when I run. No chafing involved!

i have had success with "cycle short" style underwear and running shorts without a liner. then it is not skin on skin and there isn't much fabric getting bunched up.

Running shorts or spandex.  No undies though!  That may be what is causing the chafing.

cadmus - 2008-09-22 2:25 PM Have you tried Body Glide?

The best stuff ever!  I put it on and there are no problems.  Also good for feet for blister prevention.

Ever since I went for a few years of no aerobic activity (well, not much anyway) and a lot of weight training, I wear tri shorts when I run. Saves the thighs.

Don't go commando, that's not right. Always wear a thong.

i found that "sports" undies do the trick .. no only to they keep everything in its place, but they separate everthing too.. I highly recommend the Under Armour underwear for running, cycling, but not for just swimming.. I have worn them throughout this and last seasons races and think they are the best thing to happen to race wear - super lightweight that you would hardly think they are on .. and they wick away sweat !

I'm wearing last year's tri shorts for this year's runs. I don't like all of the swish, swish of the baggier type.

I suffered chafing with regular lightweight running shorts and have been wearing compression shorts for all my runs with no further problem. Always commando - no need for underwear with running, cycling or tri shorts - more layers and seams = friction.

Underarmor or tri shorts under another pair of shorts usually.

I've had the best luck freeballing with my zoot running shorts which have an inter-netting.  I don't know how you'd comfortable wear undies with them.  For longer runs I use Pearl-Izumi Splice shorts to keep my thighs from chafing, commando in those as well.  I've only been running for a year or so, but the decision to go commando and wear a proper set of running shorts has been the best decision I've made comfort-wise so far.

+1 on the Under Armor. I use the heat gear compression shorts. I used to wear them for cycling under bike shorts/bibs as well, but the seams are in the wrong place for the saddle contact. I found better fitting bibs and use the UA for running only.

Briefs under running shorts for runs up to about 70 minutes (never had a chafing problem up to that sort of distance). No interest in letting the boys fly free, thanks.

For runs longer than that (where I have had the occasional bout of chafing in the past), I'll usually wear a pair of cheap compression shorts under running shorts (mostly for the pockets in the running shorts)...or sometimes my tri shorts.

Brooks makes a pair of shorts with built in compression tights which are perfect for not chaffing. Only when its hot I will wear under armour (compression...) shorts under my running shorts, most of the time I go commando
