Shorts always ride up on one leg. (self.running)

It’s hot again, which means it’s chafing season. One thing I’ve noticed is that my running shorts always ride up on my left leg, and only my left leg. Multiple pairs, different brands and styles, it doesn’t matter. I get much worse chaffing on that leg. I use Body Glide or Squirrel’s Nut Butter religiously and can manage it alright, but I’m wondering about why my shorts always ride up on just that one leg. Is that normal? Does that happen to you? Could it say something about my gait? Or maybe my thighs just aren’t even in size? Thanks

I have tried running in shorts but they always ride up my legs. I’m using running tights now - much better.

The only tights I have a very warm. I’ve never thought about looking for warm weather tights. Something like bike shorts? Definitely something I’ll look into!

Get some short running tights. Some like to wear them under shorts. I just wear the tights - this is my favorite https://fusionworld.com/products/c3-multisport-tights
