The Best Anti-Chafe Shorts You Need

Why do we not talk about chafing enough or the dreaded ‘chub rub’? Why is it not more commonly explored as an actual real problem? Have you ever found yourself in that awkward situation where your inner thighs begin to rub against each other causing friction that you never asked for, a rash, plus an overwhelming feeling of embarrassment and irritation while you waddle home? Well – the easiest and fuss-free solution to all of this, is anti-chafe shorts and here are my top best buys to get you through those ‘chub-rub’ times.

Chafing is extremely common – it can occur in all shapes and sizes, sexes, genders and so on but, as I’ve mentioned above – it’s rarely spoken about.  What is it exactly? Well…chafing occurs when your thighs (or any parts of your body) rub together as you move, causing an uncomfortable friction rash.  There is chafing cream, powders etc., on the market to help with it but one fool-proof solution to help the thighs is anti-chafing shorts with the best part being – you don’t have to apply, pat, roll or spray anything on your skin and wait for it all to dry!

What to look for when buying anti-chafe shorts:

The main thing when you’re shopping for anti-chafing life saviours is to look at polyester, nylon, anti-static and high-tech fabrics that are moisture-wicking and are designed to keep your skin dry.  This is vital to avoid the thighs rubbing and any friction from occurring.  For example, my personal favourites from Marks & Spencer which I’ve linked above and below, are made from polyamide (which is a synthetic material) and elastane (for stretch), creating a barrier between your legs and protecting you.

The next thing to look for is length – something long enough to cover most of your thigh, but not too long as to peep out from beneath a short summer dress or skirt.  Also, although colour is not a deciding factor, I usually opt for nude to be as close to my own skin colour as possible.

I personally find wearing anti-chafe shorts also makes me feel comfortable and practical (especially whilst wearing dresses and skirts).  If you add in a pair that have shaping qualities such as a tummy control panel – you legit feel instantly secure in your clothes.

Below are some of the best anti-chafe shorts on the market right now that are tried and tested, that come in different shades and sizes (I’ve added in some Curve options too) and which I would buy hands down.
