3 Ways to stay Chafe Free

Posted on

Hello,

 If you are a runner or exercise enthusiast, chances are at some point you have experienced chafing.  Rubbing on the skin thats causes chafing is extremely common but do you really know what you need to do to avoid it?


Chafing can happen anywhere on the body but the thighs, groin, underarms and nipples are particularly vulnerable.

Make sure you focus on these 3 steps to make chafing a thing of the past.

1.  STAY DRY.  Wet and sweaty skin can make chafing even worse.  Make sure you stay dry and comfortable at all times by choosing the correct clothing to help this.  Runderwear™ uses a highly technical moisture-wicking fabric to help wick moisture away from your skin which prevents chafing. 

2.  NO COTTON.  To stop the risk of chafing choose synthetic fibres rather than cotton.  Cotton absorbs the moisture and keeps it close to your skin.  None of our Runderwear™ range uses Cotton because of this.

3.  CORRECT FIT.  This is very important to stay chafe free.  Choose products which work with the body that are designed to move with you.  Runderwear™ uses 8% of a high grade elastane so we can guarantee a perfect fit.  

At Runderwear™ we believe that the first layer is the most important.  We believe everyone deserves to wear the most comfortable fabrics next to their skin.  We believe in innovating to engineer the best fit needed for ultimate comfort.  We believe by doing this you will achieve more.

This is why we have a Chafe-Free, Guarantee.

Have a great week everyone,

Healthy regards, run well.

Richard, Jamie and the Runderwear™ Team

Fantastic

These socks are the best running socks I have ever purchased

Good service, product is fit for purpose

Service is great, and the boxer shorts are good for running and so the job they are designed for. Little disappointed that they are not ethically sourced, they have a cheapish feel to them which was a surprise.

Thank you for your feedback Duncan. Runderwear's range of seamless underwear has sustainability benefits over cut and sew garments by reducing wastage of fabric at manufacturing stage. We are testing new fabrics that have been made using sustainable fibers and aim to bring these into our range in the near future. All our factories are quality control checked to the highest standard and our small team regularly visit them and are satisfied that working conditions are ok. We are somewhat surprised you find the pants have a cheapish feel to them. But maybe you mean that the material is not thick and when you stretch it and look up-close it has an almost gauze-like appearance; this is the nature of the product and gives it the moisture wicking properties. We hope you will like using them and will realize how comfy they are.

At last... chaff free running.

Had just about given up with the belief there were running shorts out there that don’t chaff. Purchased the long shorts, and have to say they are wonderful. They are stable, breathable, comfortable and total chaff free.
I would like to highlight I was under the impression that these were “proper” shorts, however they could possibly be described as a base layer shorts. Some form of lightweight run shorts are recommended to wear over them to cover your modesty. Wearing my lightweight run shorts over the top of them didn’t detract from the long shorts benefits.
I typically run up to 21km.
