Confusion on Chaffing: Re: [at-l] Another reason not towear underwear!

[saunterer@jimbullard.org (saunterer@jimbullard.org)]

Front?  Back?  I only chafe on the inside of my upper thigh (middle?).  The 
problem is often baggy shorts that bunch up between my legs and rub back 
and forth on the insides of my legs as I run/walk.  I've had very little 
problem since I stopped running but I suspect it would be a problem on a 
long hike of a week or more.
