I know mole skin is generally used for the feet, but if the inner parts of my legs chafe sometimes, can I slap on some between my legs? If not, does anyone having any recommendations?

BodyGlide Sport Stick…decreases friction thereby preventing chafing and/or blisters.
BPL carries it in their shop in 0.45oz sticks.
It's the best. Hands down. The Bodyglide only delays the inevitable. The Leukotape prevents chaffing/blisters and lasts for DAYS. Prep the area with some tincture of benzoin and it will be bomber. You will be sooo happy you got it.
SportSlick:
I'm not so sure about the Leukotape. That seems a bit drastic. I disagree that such lubricants "only delay the inevitable." I've had NO chafing when I used it. Ever.
And, if marathon runners can use SportSlick then it should work fine for us. I stopped my chafing problem by using this stuff and switching to hiking in running shorts with a liner. I reapply it daily, but one application would probably last two days if I had to push it. The little deodorant-like stick is pretty handy (and tiny).
BPL sells it, and its in stock:.

I eliminated thigh chafe by wearing lycra blend boxer underwear. The fabric clings to my legs and all rubbing is fabric-to-fabric, not fabric-to-skin or skin-to-skin.
One downside is they are a little hot in the summer, but it's not a big deal. I wear very lightweight nylon shorts over them, usually running shorts with the liner cut out.
I used to use Sportslick as well as the boxers, but recently discovered that boxers are all I need. I never considered Leukotape for anything but foot blisters, where it works well. I also use Sportslick or Hydropel on my feet, with mostly good results.
