There's nothing worse than experiencing chafing during the summer months.

Sure, you can lather your thighs in Sudocrem when you return home, but most of us would prefer to avoid the uncomfortable sensation altogether. Thankfully, Primark has introduced an affordable summer solution for those tired of that burning feeling.

Wearing shorts beneath your outfits is a brilliant idea, but if you're planning on wearing something shorter or are concerned about overheating with an additional layer under your clothes, this £3.50 solution with glowing reviews could be the answer.

TikTok user @laoiseallenx shared that she'd tested the PS... Anti-Chafe Body Balm Stick and it was ideal for individuals who experience "pain" when they're "sweaty" and "walking in the sun". She declared it money "well-spent", stating it's the "one thing" she wouldn't travel without now.

"Passport and this and I would be just fine", she enthused. The TikTok user revealed she'd never had a "holiday without that pain [of chafing]" and she'd frequently had to resort to long trousers as the discomfort was so severe - but now she is free from pain.

When one person enquired: "What section is it in?", she responded: "Beauty! With all the skincare bits! In another video @unpakked disclosed where the product was located, although the packaging may differ.

On Primark's website, the product is described as a "multi-purpose balm designed to be an anti-friction moisturiser." It also states: "It's formulated with grapeseed oil and Vitamin E, while a light watermelon fragrance adds a refreshing element to the balm."

In the video, people also offered other anti-chafe suggestions, including Asda's liquid talc, which is a steal at just £1.50, and wearing shorts.
