In Response To: Other: Dry suit chafing (Mark Rakestraw)

: I was fortunate enough to get a neoprene dry suit from a friend who decided
: he was no longer going to wind surf in the cold weather. It fits well and
: is quite warm but turns my underarms to hamburger from chafing--even when
: wearing a "non-chafing" long sleeve shirt. I have some
: "body glide" that I use to prevent chafing while running and I
: am going to try that, but I'm not optimistic that it will be enough
: protection to solve the problem. I was wondering if anyone else has any
: good ideas that have worked for them.
: thanks,
: mark

You might want to try Paceline's Chamois Butter. You'll find it in bicycle shops, it is usually smeared on the pad in bicycle shorts. Lance Armstong won't ride without it, and being a testicular cancer survivor I'll bet he knows about chafe.
