Chafing cream

[djphilg]

I know this has been posted before but I have yet to find a definitive answer.

As I am walking a lot in thailand, depending on the bottoms I wear, I get chafing between my thighs. This gets rather sore and uncomfortable.

I know of products such as bodyglide and lanacane but I do not know where to get anything similar whilst here.

I have Vaseline and bepanthen but both leave greasy marks on clothing.

I am currently in chiang mai for the next few days and any help would be greatly appreciated.

be carefully....it could be either a fungus infection. Or if it is not, it is the perfect way to get a fungus infection, which is hard to get rid off.

I don't have this problem but I heard from both males and females who don't wear underwear because of this reason.

If it is just with some underwear....get rid of this underwear and use the good one.

Forget cream and go with powder.

Protex sport powder, use it liberally once dried out of the shower. I sometimes prefer it in my armpits as opposed to roll on deoderant too.

Agree, powder. It is moisture that leads to the chafing.

Plain corn starch which you can get in any supermarket (erroneously labelled "corn flour" here) will work fine, or buy one of the many talcum powders. Or Protex. All will work.

Actually just to add another option..I run a lot and suffered with chaffing a lot. I started bathing the chaf area with pharmacy supply alcohol. That seemed to kill any bacteria and the chaffing stopped.

Go to a high end bicycle shop.

All the riders use an anti-chafe.

If you have what looks like white cream at the rubbing areas, it's probably fungus or a yeast infection.

Nappy rash cream works well, applied after a shower two or three times a day.
