[pct-l] Hiker's Rash

[Charles Williams]

Todd,
I had the same problem on both my longer trips.  Someone (a runner) suggested I use a runner's product called Body Glide.  It's has a deoderant style applicator.  I haven't tried it yet, but I will next time I get on the trail. 
 
Anybody have experience with this product, how long it lasts, how many re-applications a day, and most importantly...does it work?
 
Charles

Hi Everybody!
First time posting and I thought I'd start out with a "burning" question :)
  I'm looking forward to attempting my first thru-hike this year.  I've
done a number of section hikes over the years and I've found that after a
few high-mile days I frequently develop uncomfortable friction rashes where
my thighs rub together (undoubtedly a result of having massive and manly
muscular legs).  Since I'd really prefer not spending the majority of my
hike walking bow legged, I was wondering if anyone else experiences this
problem and if so- have you found a solution?   Thanks,
Todd
