As we gear up for the impending heatwaves (fingers crossed!) the prospect of scorching temperatures brings a common yet often overlooked discomfort: chafing. Whether you’re planning a work outfit, heading out to drinks, exercising or simply getting on public transport, the friction caused by sweat and movement can turn a fun outing into a painful ordeal. Enter anti-chafing shorts, the unsung heroes of summer wardrobes. Designed to protect your skin, providing a smooth barrier that eliminates irritation and ensures you stay comfortable, now is definitely the time to invest in the pair.
Unlike traditional shorts, which can exacerbate chafing, these specialised shorts are made from breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics that keep you cool and dry. The snug yet flexible fit allows for a full range of motion without the risk of seams digging into your skin. With a variety of styles available, from discreet undergarments to sporty outerwear, there’s a perfect pair for every occasion, ensuring you can beat the heat in style and comfort.
Our top pick of the week? INNERSY Anti Chafing Shorts, currently £16.14 here on Amazon. With nearly 1,300 reviews, and 76% of them being 5-star ones, shoppers believe they've found a summer saviour in this pair.
INNERSY Anti Chafing Shorts have nearly 1,300 reviews on Amazon (Amazon)One shopper pens: "This is my first time using these anti-chafing shorts and I’m a covert. They’re really comfortable, they don’t ride up and more importantly, they don’t make you feel hot, even when the sun is out, also true to size."
"I am size between medium and large as I am postpartum but I ordered a medium and fits perfectly fine. They are stretchy and soft. They definitely help with the issue when your legs rubbing," writes a second."

A third weighs in with: "I bought an XL, for reference I'm 5"11 and a size 18-20, high-waisted, comfortable, nice material soft - not too thick and not too thin, the top doesn't roll down and the legs don't roll up, practically perfect however they are see-through and I'm currently wearing the black pair and you can see my underwear, expecting the white and beige to be the same."
While this pair is perfect for wearing under dresses, skirts and workout wear, as a few reviewers point out, they are a tad too see-through to wear as regular shorts. However, if you're looking for a top recommendation for what to buy to wear as more of a biker short style, we love Uniqlo's Ultra Stretch Active Shorts, which are £19.90 here.
Alternatively, if you have a bit more budget to throw at a pair, Lululemon's Align High Rise Short, £48 here, really are worth every penny.
