Tip that has served me well: old-fashioned lanolin-based Germolene ointment (not the cream, which is much thinner and pretty much vanishes). It contain pretty much everything you'd want to keep your bits from becoming abraded and sore (lanolin, zinc oxide, methyl salicylate etc) and is powerfully antiseptic to boot. Also cheap and readily available in any chemist.
Credit for this excellent tip goes to my training sergeant of long-ago Territorial infantry days, who told us in no uncertain terms to use it before timed marches, exercise weekends etc. Ta very much, Sgt C!
