Running Shorts - any recommendations?

[valve90210]

Since the start of the year I've been working together with a few people at work and been very careful about what I've been eating and have bee slowly losing weight. I've also started doing some exercise which has not been on my radar for years.

It has been suggested by one of the group that we all start doing some running and work towards doing a 5km run in the autumn. Having done a bit of running on Wednesday I'm now thinking I seriously need some anti-chafing wear!!

I've done some looking about and found huge amounts of different options but not really sure what's good to go for.

I think I'm leaning towards the Twin layer short type things but wondered if anyone has experience of different brands and any suggestions about what to go for.

Obviously as a total beginner and fairly unlikely to get hugely hugely into running (no marathons for me thanks!!) I don't want to spend too much but would like something which will be effective.

Any thoughts?

My main area of concern is my thighs, which is why I was looking at the twin layer shorts. I've read a lot of places saying they're good but there's so many choices...
