Rubbing thigh help.

Cycling has some nasty side effects.

For one thing, I've gotten bigger and stronger with all the riding I've done over the past couple of
years. Also, I hate walking more than ever now.

My thighs have grown large enough now that when I walk, they rub together. My boxer-briefs don't
cover the area properly, and pants don't really seperate my legs well enough either. So, now when I
walk, there's a section of thigh that rubs on each leg. So, now I've got a sore where I've rubbed
the skin away on my inner left thigh, and I don't know how to stop it and let it heal. I tried a
bandaid, and that didn't work. None of my clothes do it, except for my non-baggy cycling shorts, but
I figure I'm not giving the wound any room to breathe if I wear those around all the time. I'm going
to try a large gauze bandage tomorrow to see if that helps at all.

I'm SURE someone else has had this problem before me. Any advice?

strangely, i have the same problem, though without the sore spot (guess your just bigger than me ;-)

One option may be to buy a cheap pair of lycra shorts, maybe trim them so they don't show below
regular clothing. they should help to relive the direct rubbing. and they breath better than any
other option i can think of. i think too most "sports" underwear (of the shorts variety) are close
enough fitting that they may prevent rubbing.

I'm sure all the females here will contradict me though.

Have you tried walking like a cowboy? Get a hat and some chaps and no one will think anything of it.

I've got big thighs <debates showing embarassing picture... no>, about 26" each. I've never had a
problem with sores except for when I'm on the beach and wet sand ends up on the inside of the thigh.
Maybe my legs are just used to it, or it could be that you're wearing rough clothes.

strangely, my thighs are the same size. the only thing that shows of rubbing is a curious lack of
hair on the inner thigh where they rub from time to time.

Ditto that, just a bald spot for me as well.

And when I wear corduroy pant I make a nice <vVvvtT><vVvvtT><vVvvtT> sound when I walk

Dear Thunder Thighs, I've got the same problem. To fix it, I hike my pants up until I have some
serious male cameltoe. Actually, I'm not totally kidding. But not when I'm walking, only when I'm
running and I start to feel the burn. Vaseline helps down there too. Who'd have thought it's for
more than... never mind. One thing I definitely DON'T recommend is Icy Hot or Tiger Balm. Take my
word for it. /s

<picture pending...>

hey, i got gloves just like those, but fingerless.

their good but could use a bit more padding under the thumb joint (or maybe a change out of grips
may be in order).

Though i must say, if you can pull off lycra, i should be able to. i have about the same build, with
a bit more definition in the upper legs ;-) (sorry, cheap shot)

Oh man, mine's much worse than that. Oh well, if you can't laugh at yourself...

This was the result of a drunken 'who's got the biggest thighs competition?' in a bar in Madrid. If
you're going to look at it, put on the sunnies, my thighs have a 10000 candle power rating. And
*don't* look at the groin of the guy on the right. http://www.j-harris.net/rugby/Madrid/20.jpg

Bet you looked at the groin of the guy on the right

yeah, that's about what my legs look like, though maybe not quite as robust.

hmmm, how to take a picture of my own legs. <digs out video camera tripod>
