    Good luck. As I said, you have to go with what works for you. Some folks on this thread (and this site) have a tendency to try to tell you what you need. In the end, you'll figure out what you like the best.

    At the bottom edge of the kilt you'll see a snap that can provide a measure of modesty when you're worried about exposing yourself.

    Another vote for compression shorts. Used them on my first thruhike, never a problem. They're also pretty light, so you can take enuf to have a clean set every other day

    Thats exactally my problem. We'll its only happened to me once but it was BAD and almost ruined a beautiful 5 day trip. Like an idiot I thought it might help to use alcohol wipes to help out.... boy was I wrong. Anyway, I got bodyglide (I think thats the name of it) now. I just put it up like 1/2 out of the tube and cut it straight off w/ a razor blade n put it in a small zip lock. Its worth its weight and its one thing I could never go on a trip without again.

    BTW, I use EMS zip off pants. Light enough, comfortable and have held up great for me. Also has cargo pockets and vents on the side which is nice.

    If they have lining, cut it out and see how that works for you. It helped greatly for me, although there is still rubbing of skin on skin, so body glide is the next best thing.

    I suffered from terrible chafing problems on the shortest of hikes. Tried the ex-officio boxer brief and found instant and lasting relief. They are expensive (I've managed to find them as "cheap" as $19/pair) but worth every cent.

    Another vote for bike shorts. Never had a problem. They're ultralight and dry quickly too.
