I've noticed that after a few months of using a new pair of running shorts, I tend to start getting saddle sore in my crotch, both on the upper inner leg and on the family jewels. I've tried using Body Glide, vasoline, and even some A-D ointment from the diaper area. Nothing seems to prevent the chaffing. It's so sore that when I take a shower, I nearly break my teeth gritting from the pain of soap and water.
The running shorts look perfectly fine and when washed would pass for new. I'm thinking the elastic starts to wear a little thin and is starting to rub the skin. I've even tried rubbing Body Glide onto the elastic and that didn't seem to help either. I'm thinking about taking a pair of scissors and solving the problem permanently. Just cut the elastic out of my running shorts. But then I might have floppage instead of chaffage.
Any other guys have chaffing issues with their running shorts after a few months?
