Chafing

Q. Chafing ! In the groin ol'crotchable area :-(

I always seem to get it on a walk: I've heard vaseline can help, although this seems quite a messy solution.

Anyone got any recommendations (can't seem to find any thigh-length cool-max underwear around !!!) ?

A. I used to have this problem when running, I use Sudocrem (for nappy rash!) it works a treat you just need to transfer some to an unarked jar to avoid your mates teasing you :)

A. Hi Mike Talcum powder helps as well. Use plenty and it stays for longer if you apply some cream first.
