Anti Chafing running tops?

[Kjb04]

I’m not sure why but I’m suddenly getting chafing on the inside of both inner arms near my armpit! Wearing the same shirt sleeve tops as always so a bit puzzled. Does anyone have any clothing recommendations to prevent this or any other tips? Thanks!

One thing you could think about is a product like Body Glide which is an anti chafing balm. I haven’t used it myself but my marathoner friend loves it!

I’ve got a soft and light long sleeve top from Ronhill that’s super comfy. That stops my hydration vest rubbing…

I liked it so much I’ve got it in two colours. Lots of options for something similar. Runderwear is great for anti chafe comfy clothing-they’re short on sizes at the moment but one of their base layer tops is on my (long!!) kit wish list.

Decathlon is always worth a browse!!

I have psoriasis so this subject is dear to my heart 🙂.

I found Bodyglide didn’t work for me. Vaseline works better. I actually turn my vests and tops inside out so the seams are on the outside ☺️ You can carefully remove labels with a sewer’s stitch ripper tool.

Many “seamless” clothing items are nothing of the sort 😤. So beware if ordering online.

My hydration vest rubbed my arm Red the other day which it’s not done before but it was really hot and humid I’ll put a smear of Vaseline there next time

Ron Hill make four-way stretch tights and capris to help reduce friction around the knees etc

I’ve not heard of bodyglide but I’ve got Vaseline so I’ll give that a go. Many thanks. 🙏

Bodyglide is a product often used by triathletes to get their wetsuit off fast
