Title: Best Cream to prevent Chaffed Knackers
Post by: FattusCattus on March 06, 2014, 02:54:16 PM
In line with previous pencil and trouser threads, I though I would bring this up?

Anyone have a preferred unguent to apply to the plum and thigh region on hot days to avoid the burn of the chafe, and angry red skin?


(As I am now a teetotal athlete, this is obviously a request for other people who are not me?)

I don't use cream, but find talc powder works well.

I use cycling shorts with talc, it works a treat.

Sudocrem! If it works for babies nappy soreness and red skin, then it should work for almost anything!

And certainly gentle enough for you baby soft skin big boy!  ;)

Sudocreme is very good - or decent baselayers and you won't need any of that stuff!  Skins are the best...

Talc helps prevent any chaffing, Sudicrem to stop it getting worst. Can't believe I'm typing this!

I think you'll agree John, that safely ensconsing your love-eggs without chaffing is far more important than any of that other poncey stuff!

Not sure, but I hear that Thai Square in Putney is an effective place to try it out...

I think that toilet water stuff is over-rated. Last time I was splashing some on the seat fell down and cracked me on the back of the head...

Bodyglide and Lanacane anti-chafing gel are both good.

Our toddler agrees with sudocrem.

A really good pair of compression shorts should negate this.

I have bad memories of this from the Army, crotch rot. Not fun.

The aero box shorts are perfect

I used these last year and have a new pair for this season. Since I've worn them, I have never come down with a case of chaffyknackeritis

You've obviously not got an iconic body then! (Admittedly that icon is Buddah though...)

Breaking News!

Greek Yoghurt shrivels your balls, but surprisingly, a dash of lemon puffs them up again.

(yes, he's back on the alcohol!)
