It rained the first 24 hours and I had on normal running shorts with lining and over that long stretch pants. I had applied Bag Balm liberally. I think the tight stretchy longs pushed the short lining between my butt and the sticky bag balm glued it there. After first 100 miles I was a mess and switched shorts multiple times over the 12.5 mile loop but damage was done. Switched to white paste of diaper rash cream. Took a week for it to recover. I would have fit right in at the baboon enclosure! I was going to go with compression pants next time but you made a good point about it forcing the butt together, making things worse. At Fatdog 120 next month I'll probably go back to shorts with linings and just check periodically that it's not getting 'wedged'.The Running Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10770401290247073598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1630370531945018065.post-26847418582738758472015-08-17T05:42:03.752+01:002015-08-17T05:42:03.752+01:00If I don't wear a lycra liner underneath, it i...If I don't wear a lycra liner underneath, it is guaranteed thigh chafe.

Regarding the texture, it can tend to separate into liquid and granular components, but it still works. The cold heat effect can take some getting used to.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07454804247569172043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1630370531945018065.post-91358594176635794572010-12-02T05:02:05.706+00:002010-12-02T05:02:05.706+00:00i discovered body glide..works for me.i found brav...i discovered body glide..works for me.i found brave soldier had a queer texture to it..but keep the lists coming nick..looking forward to your evangelical sell of coke..the elixir of.. ;-)ultra colliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11255286025113300247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1630370531945018065.post-39728418693505125152010-12-01T18:59:38.068+00:002010-12-01T18:59:38.068+00:00Ordered the Brave Soldier from amazon!

I read somewhere once that a liberal application of Sudacrem on the feet is good for avoiding blisters, and it seems to works for me. That said, I suffer from other feet problems and can't remember when I last had ten toenails at the same time.Ali Bryan-Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02057878025416705119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1630370531945018065.post-65048939493851895032010-11-30T23:11:52.545+00:002010-11-30T23:11:52.545+00:00Might try the brave solider out!!

Not all liners do the job and some do it far worst than conventional undewear!
