I have recently begun a new exercise regime and have stuck to it for quite some time now. However, I have a problem that I've always had and usually gave up exercising due to this problem; whenever I run, bike, anything (even walking) my long labia always chafe. It hurts. Whatever I do doesn't seem to help. Now aside from labiaplasty, is there anything I can do? Have any other women had this problem and found a solution? The only thing I haven't done is ducttaped them into myself! My inner thighs chafe a lot also but the pain isn't nearly as bad as the pain associated with my labia chafing. If I could afford labiaplasty, believe me ladies I would be in that office in a heartbeat! But until medical insurance covers that, I'm stuck trying to put them away. So ladies, any suggestions? Tighter underwear? Taping them up? Please help!

You might have a very low grade fungus infection (jock itch) that only becomes a problem when you are exercising. Try this: shower with an antibacterial soap, pat dry, then blow dry you crotch area completely, then apply an anti-fungal cream. Wash all of your underwear in hot water, with color-fast bleach. Wear cotton undies, no thongs. Make sure that after exercise you wash in the same way, and again put on clean undies. Don't hang around in your workout clothes.

I doubt you have a fungal- I have the same problem and it is because of long labia minora. I tried to stuff them in, tighter, looser, NO undies,and aside going with a skirt with no undies I cannot find a solution. While I was in the USMC I had a gyno make an assessment TWICE and both times they told me I was not qualified for a labiaplasty unless they exceeded 4 cm past the vulva. Close, but not close enough.

I wonder if applying a lubricant or coconut oil would help by...well...lubricating the skin so it won't chafe? I hope you've found remedy ❤️
