The best thing to STOP chaffing would be to use the Vaseline without the sand 
When I was doing the marathon training (having never really did any real running before) I applied Vaseline to ANY area where chaffing could occur.
- Feet
- Inner thighs
- Armpits
- Nipples
At least TWO of those shouldn't really be needed for walking...but hey! If you wanna rub stuff on your nipples...who am I to tell you what to do in your own time?

Seemingly it started bothering him quite badly today and was itching like crazy. After steeping his foot in salt water he asked if we had anything to medicate it. Now we live quite a ways from the closet chemist or supermarket so I decided to use my knowledge of old fashioned remedies. I'm a bit of an herbalist and forager so I'm moderately educated about these things. My first suggestion was pine sap. It's good for wounds and has anti-viral properties. Alas, the nearest Scots Pine is a mile or so away so that's a no go. Okay, why not try honey, again it has anti-viral properties but no, our honey had set and he wasn't keen. Alright then, my last attempt was his preferred one - garlic! Yes, dear reader, youngy prepared a poultice to my recipe, bound it to his foot with gauze and has been walking around like that for the last 3 hours. Magically it took the itch away and he was a happy boy..............until about 20 min ago. Yes, it apparently IS true that if you rub garlic on your feet it comes out in your breath! It is also true, apparently, that it also leaks from every pore in a noxious yellow fog that threatens to engulf the entire cottage. It has been SOOOOO bad that he has been dispatched upstairs for a bath and a serious scrub. He has been warned that he may be required to sleep on the sofa for the first time since we met all those years ago. The stench is truly unbelievable. So, the moral of the story is NEVER put garlic on your feet. I just wanted to make this clear in case any of you were ever tempted. It's not big, it's not clever but is sure is fecking stinky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DigrsSlopBukit wrote... What a pair!
