Problem With Chafing And Bike Riding.



Recommended Posts

I have a recumbent exercise bike. I have been doing well on it but have hit a problem. I am having chafing and skin problems in my groin area ( where my legs meet my torso). It isn't heat rash. I thought it might be due to wearing loose clothing. I am trying to find biking shorts that fit. I have some on order and they are due soon. I have tried powder and washing and changing immediately after working out. Has anyone else had this problem? It is getting so that it is uncomfortable even if I am not riding my bike. Any ideas would be welcome. Due to health issues, riding my bike is my best exercise option. I wouldn't be able to do as much if I tried walking.

Thanks!

This is the BEST stuff ever for chub rub! And I read on a beauty blog to use it as a make-up primer.

I was watching Dr Oz today and he recomemened rubbing deodorant on the area that chaff before starting to exercise.

any store that has an athletic department will sell chaffing sticks - looks kinda like deoderant and works wonders!

They sell it on Chafeaway.com and Ebay, Amazon etc, There are a few different sizes and you can cut them to the size you need. Its non-latex so its comfortable on the skin and smooth to the touch. Check it out it will solve the chafing problems. There slogan is Wear it where it hurts.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
