I finally found a solution to thigh chafing on long summer runs
As an experienced runner, I've become accustomed to the pitfalls that come with the exercise. There are broken toenails, sore knees and digestive problems, but one negative aspect of running that I no longer want to endure is scraped thighs. When I run outside in the summer and swap my trusty leggings for shorts, one requirement is more important than any other: no chafing allowed. Long distance runs often cause my shorts to ride up, exposing my thighs and rubbing against each other (or against the material on one side of my shorts).

I finally found a solution to thigh chafing on long summer runs
As an experienced runner, I've become accustomed to the pitfalls that come with the exercise. There are broken toenails, sore knees and digestive problems, but one negative aspect of running that I no longer want to endure is scraped thighs. When I run outside in the summer and swap my trusty leggings for shorts, one requirement is more important than any other: no chafing allowed.
Long distance runs often cause my shorts to ride up, exposing my thighs and rubbing against each other (or against the material on one side of my shorts). On more than one occasion, I've had painful scabs on my inner thighs from wearing the wrong shorts. While hot days tempt me to wear as little clothing as possible, I know I'll be happier when I stick with longer biker shorts that stay in place and protect my inner thighs—and my favorite this season is Sweaty Betty's Power High-Waisted Biker Shorts. The brand sent me a pair to test out earlier this summer, and they've been my go-to ever since.
Sweaty Betty Power High Waist Biker Shorts Key Features
- Wie ich getestet habe: Ich habe die Shorts in den letzten zwei Monaten bei mehreren Läufen im Freien und bei einigen Trainingskursen getragen.
- Perfekt für: Bequem trainieren (und sich süß fühlen!).
- Was Sie lieben werden: Der Saum der Shorts rutscht nicht hoch und der Bund rutscht nicht herunter.
- Merken Sie sich: Dunkle Unterwäsche kann sichtbar sein, wenn sie unter der rosa Farbe der Shorts getragen wird, die ich besitze.
- So passt es: Maßgetreu. Die Shorts haben eine 9-Zoll-Schrittlänge, die direkt über meinen Knien endet; Sie bieten eine bequeme Passform um die Oberschenkel und bleiben auf meinen kurvigen Hüften. Obwohl der hohe Bund an meiner schmaleren Taille nur ein bisschen locker ist, muss ich ihn nie anpassen, damit die Shorts nicht herunterhängen.
