I've suffered more this year than any previous year (why? I don't know) with chafing and have needed chamois creme on more than one occassion to relieve the situation. I presume that the chamois creme enables my skin to glide without rubbing on either the chamois of the shorts or against other skin.
Unfortunately, with 6
pr of shorts from 4 different manufacturers, none, this summer, were better than any other at preventing chafing.
