[QUOTE="Bradypus, post: 643136, member: 42372"] I used to have serious chafing problems walking when wearing the cotton briefs I usually wear at home. Shorts with a mesh lining certainly helped. Another solution was to wear very thin lycra cycling shorts as underpants. For me the length of the underwear is the key issue for chafing - the hem of my usual briefs saws into the crease at the top of my thigh if they become damp with sweat. Then the salt from the sweat gets into the raw patch... I have come far closer to abandoning a Camino because of chafing than I ever have done because of blisters :mad: Something like boxers where the hem is someway down the thigh rather than tight in the groin is useful. On a related note I prefer fairly close-fitting and supportive underwear which prevents much movement in that department. Having my wedding tackle bouncing up and down like a yo-yo for hours on end can result in serious discomfort. Having had the dubious distinction of acquiring a varicocele which stayed with me for a year and more before clearing up spontaneously I try my best not to repeat the experience. [/QUOTE]
