Chub Rub
Does anyone have any tips on how to prevent "chub rub" (the rash that occurs when your thighs rub together)?

cover the inside of your thighs with a thick coat of vassilene, just kidding, try some spandex bicycle shorts under whatever you're wearing, they're designed to prevent chaffing, i think.

I used the vaseline between the thighs when I ran long distance.

A few ways to avaiod chub rub:

1. Quick Drying Wicking boxers.
2. Hike in the winter.
3. Bring a hot escort with you on the trail, about every half hour, have her wipe the moisture away, with emphasis on the "chub" of the rub.
4. WD-40.
5. Stay home.

Body Glide. Same concept as vaseline, but non-greasy and doesn't stain. But it at any running store, looks like a stick of deoderant.

I also suggest body glide. Cycling shops and mail order houses may sell it too. This is what is made for. Don’t confuse it with the other bodyglide that is a liquid. The latter is for a different more fun activity and much more expensive..

LOL... ok.. my experience is much as Prowler's and a few others...

No chub rub?.. don't sweat. How not to sweat?.. lean to dress light.. using polypro fabrics..

Spread your legs apart.. air that chub out.. don't let your thighs rub.. you will be more stable anyway.

Boxers.

I have a few pairs of polypro boxers that I wear when hiking or walking for exercise. Takes care of what we used to call in drum corps, the "crotch rotch".

Gold bond powder!!!...and for max effect.. in the car crank the A/C full blast and let the air shoot up your shorts before heading out!

I've been seeing this thread all day without opening it. I thought it had to do with cooking, like spices that you put on ribs before cooking them. Then it finally dawned on me.
