seems like getting bigger thighs from focused effort on squats and nutrirtion i now have problem with sweating and chafing. the urnder armor is great for stopping the rubbing but the sweat just soaks right through so i can't wear khaki or light grey without risking wet spots showing. gold bond doesn't do anything except make a mess. i can't be the only guy with this. what kind of underwear is good for this?

It seems like underwear alone might not be the solution to your problem

maybe i should ask the question differently: now that i have bigger thighs, i seem to sweat alot between my legs and get a rash easily. the under armor is great to stop the rubbing but it just wisks the sweat to my pants. are there ideas for underwear or something else that might help?

Seems you need to get the sweat away from your body and the UA is doing the job.

More muscle should not mean more sweat. More fat maybe. Is this happening in dress clothes at a desk?

well, i probably put on some fat with the muscle. truthfully i've always perspired more than most people but it's just gotten harder to deal with in the past few months. i work retail so i'm on my feet walking people around the store and I need to be wearing proper pants.

I sweat a lot, luckily more at night, due to medications... Just use good deodorant and I avoid personally to wear too many layers or hotter fabrics such as flannel...

woudl you use different deod on your thighs? is there something that works better in there? maybe i'm going the wrong direction with layering but it seems to be the only way to stay dry on the outside. i wear some thick cotton boxer briefs over the under armor. as long as i put on a fresh pair before i sit for lunch i;m ok but it's just inconvenent and i need a solution for when i'm not at work.
