    Dear Thunder Thighs, I've got the same problem. To fix it, I hike my pants up until I have some
    serious male cameltoe. Actually, I'm not totally kidding. But not when I'm walking, only when I'm
    running and I start to feel the burn. Vaseline helps down there too. Who'd have thought it's for
    more than... never mind.

    Yeah, the problem with my pants is definitely that the crotch hangs a little too low, and there's no
    fabric between my legs. Maybe I should start wearing jeans again. I remember rubbing holes in the
    pants, not in my legs.

    One thing I definitely DON'T recommend is Icy Hot or Tiger Balm. Take my word for it.

    I can imagine. Fortunately, I'd never try something like that.

    Cycling has some nasty side effects.

    For one thing, I've gotten bigger and stronger with all the riding I've done over the past
    couple of years. Also, I hate walking more than ever now. My thighs have grown large enough now
    that when I walk, they rub together. My boxer-briefs don't cover the area properly, and pants
    don't really seperate my legs well enough either. So, now when I walk, there's a section of
    thigh that rubs on each leg. So, now I've got a sore where I've rubbed the skin away on my
    inner left thigh, and I don't know how to stop it and let it heal. I tried a bandaid, and that
    didn't work. None of my clothes do it, except for my non-baggy cycling shorts, but I figure I'm
    not giving the wound any room to breathe if I wear those around all the time. I'm going to try
    a large gauze bandage tomorrow to see if that helps at all.

    I'm SURE someone else has had this problem before me. Any advice?

    JS

    Have you tried walking like a cowboy? Get a hat and some chaps and no one will think anything
    of it.

    Or just wear a "Gay Pride" tee-shirt.

    Now you gone n done it! I'm LOL!

    strangely, my thighs are the same size. the only thing that shows of rubbing is a curious lack of
    hair on the inner thigh where they rub from time to time.

    That's what I USED to have. Apparently, this year of cycling has given me more leg than before, and
    I now have a spot that's bald AND bleeding a little. :P

    That aside, it's true. I'm not female. I didn't think that anyone was paying that much attention to
    remember that I'm a guy. 😄

    but if you dno' shave, the hair gets all clumpy and pokes through the hose in a most unsighlty
    manner. (My Doc suggested I wear them to prevent blood clots after my "big" knee surgery about 6
    years ago.)

    Have you tried rubbing some baby power on your legs? And Aloe Vera gel on the sores at night.

    I admit, perhaps it went over my head a bit, but it doesn't seem to really make good sense to me.
    I'm trying to DECREASE my discomfort, and I can't really see the panty hose making me feel any
    better. I mean, the sore is irritating, t'be sure, but it's not really gonna kill me. On the other
    hand, wearing panty hose to keep my thighs from rubbing would almost certainly make me batty.

    I've known two different guys with that moniker, but they didn't pronounce it "Jan". It came out
    more as "Yohn" (rhyming with John).

    Dunno how JS pronounces it, though.

    Hah, no worries. I've lived with this for 26 years, so I'm used to it.

    I bet you thought to pronounce my name to rhyme with 'Anne'. Actually, in my case, it's pronounced
    to rhyme with 'Khan', and has a hard 'J'. So 'Jahn', not 'Yahn'. In the end, I tell everyone to just
    call me 'Jon'. Easier than trying to teach everyone how to say it properly. I'm extra screwed,
    'cause slavic people immediately assume they know how to say it, and sometimes tell me that I'm
    pronouncing my own name WRONG.

    I get some funny stories out of it, at least. My girlfriend and I were on a mailing list together
    once, and everyone just assumed that we were lesbian lovers (something that we tried to play up for
    a while), which was amusing. 🙂

    Oh, and I just measured my legs. They're about 26" each as well.

    Obviously not that well - I've never had surgery on my knees 🙂

    Those markings (I assume your referring to the patches where the skin is missing) are from a rugby
    tournament I played that weekend. All the other marks are just normal scars.
