Although we love summer and have been desperately waiting for it to arrive, it brings pesky problems that can cause discomfort to certain areas of the body. Blisters from feet swelling in the heat, ouch, and of course, one of the most common dilemmas caused by sweat and skin friction- chafing. Coined by some as 'chub rub,' the uncomfortable problem can lead to redness, a burning feeling and in some cases a rash which can certainly put a damper on enjoying the warmer weather.

It's a bugbear most of us women have to deal with some of the hot sticky summer months, but what if we told you we might have found the perfect solution for you - and you only have to part with £20 of your hard-earned cash?

The delighted customer went on to explain saying, " These shorts fit well and are just the right length to prevent the "thigh fight for supremacy". Give a smooth line under clothing, and wash well too!"

Another five-star reviewer joined in the praise, "Great shorts, very comfortable and perfect for wearing under summer dresses. Very pleased with and would definitely recommend."

"I bought these and am more than surprised how comfy they feel under dresses. I don’t get chaffing. They’re just comfy. Lovely soft fabric. Light. You hardly feel them on. Now I’ll have to buy more," said a third.

However one buyer, gave a word of warning if you are wondering about wearing them as underwear "Was not sure what I was getting, but sounded like a great idea, but they are just a cut-off pair of tights, I thought they would be more substantial underwear, I wouldn’t wear without some pants on, not sure if that’s the norm though?"
