There are few things worse than the deep, burning string of hell that comes from chub rub.

I mean, real few. We've all been there, on holidays, wearing a cute skirt, sweating buckets and walking miles like John Wayne because if our thighs touch once more we'll disintegrate from the pain. But, thankfully slathering ourselves in creams and gels is now a thing of the past as last year PrettyLittleThing started stocking a much easier option that became one of their hottest commodities. The chafing bands. Basically, the chafing bands are like socks for your thighs that help your legs rub past eachother without any sticky, burning friction. Success. Last year coming up to summer, the bands fully sold out but now, they're back in stock and in two shades for €10 each - Hurrah. Available in both nude and black these bands are honestly a necessity if our Irish summer is anything like last year. According to PLT, the bands allow you to "put your chafing days behind you and make these bands your saviour. Featuring one pair of bands, style these under any look for extra support and a ton of comfort." Stunning. And while we wait patiently for PrettyLittleThing to ship us these stat, here are some DIY chaffing tricks to keep you busy (and not in intense agony).
