What Causes Thigh Chafing When Wearing Shorts Or Pants?

When thighs rub against each other or clothing they get irritated. Sweat and moisture only worsen chafing.

Chafing or 'chub rub' is a common issue that both men and women suffer from, and it can affect people of all shapes and sizes.

How Do You Stop Thighs From Chafing When Wearing Shorts?
