A question for the ladies please

Hi there. I don't know if this will be helpful or not, but thought I would pass on my two cents.  You are free to take it for what it is worth!  When we ran in 5K last week, my husband chaffed really badly on the inside of his thigh.  It ended up being much colder than anticipated and he put on windpants OVER his running shorts.  He hadn't planned on doing this and I think he was too bulky and it just aggravated his leg. He is pretty sure it was the seem on his underwear.  So, he went to our running/fitness store and asked the clerk.  He advised a pair of running tights made by "Insport."  I have since thrown away the tags, but it said on the tag "Anti-chaffing running pants" or something like that. 

Can't say how well it works.  It looks like they are made of the same stuff as everything else, but the seems are really flat, so maybe that is the only differnce.  I don't know, but maybe someone at a specialty store could help you out with the clothing that would be least likely to cause a problem.  It sure seems like they make something to help any problem you could have (anti blister socks, antichaffing shorts, etc.) that you might be able to find something.  Whether or not they would prove necessary may be of debate, but I would rather err of the side of comfort and caution.  Better to waste a little money than be sidelined while you heal.  Especially if it is and extended hiatus. 

Another piece of possibly unhelpful advice is to look at the different products for diaper rash, etc.  There are several that are like Petroleum jelly that is supposed to soothe and protect skin.  Pretty greasy and ooey, but might be helpful in covering large areas.  They have come a long way since Desitin.  I dunno. I am not much help, but I do want to tell you that I admire your courage and I find it very inspiring.  Good Luck!
