What is this A&D ointment? I haven't ever tried it but have this one problem spot in a really embarassing spot that keeps getting chafed. Ill try anything to get it to stop.

Target sells a "cycling brief" that's essentially a boxer cut brief with flat seams and no hole for the boy.

I'd stay away from cotton anything. I did a two month backpacking trip with cotton boxers and t-shirt and decided even the cheapest synthetic alternative would be better. There's just nothing cool about having clothes that get soaked in sweat and refuse to dry.

It is an ointment in a tube generally used on baby's to keep moisture from being absorbed into the skin from wet diapers. Sort of like Vaseline but it seems more waxy and less petroleum based. It is inexpensive and might be worth a try for you.

Ex-Officio boxer briefs and whatever comfortable shorts you like. Target even has Champion wicking boxer briefs that I like, but prefer the Ex-Oficio, though they do cost more. I don't wear padded or jerseys. I wear wicking hiking/running shirts. That way I don't have to have separate outfits for every activity that I do. Wicking is the key.
