Summer is in full swing, and when the heat is high, the chance of chafing is, too.
Whether you’re exploring new cities on a warm holiday or simply enjoying London in the heat, working up an inferno between your thighs is a surefire way to ruin the vibe.
And don’t even get me started on layering shorts underneath skirts and dresses, especially when they stick out beneath the hem – and let’s face it, the last thing you need in the heat is to be wearing another layer.
The answer to our summertime woes? It is, of course, the Megababe Thigh Rescue Anti-Friction Stick – and it’s saved my skin more times than I’d like to admit (literally).
Megababe Thigh Rescue Anti-Friction Stick 60g
This balm-like stick of smoothing goodness is easily applied to the thighs, creating a barrier that sits on top of the skin, stopping dreaded friction and instead allowing thighs that would usually rub to glide smoothly against each other.
Coming in a stick-balm style that’s easily applied to the thighs, this anti-chafe stick creates a barrier that sits on top of the skin, stopping dreaded friction and instead allowing thighs that would usually rub to glide smoothly against each other.
Better yet, the formula features soothing aloe, nourishing grapeseed oil and antioxidant rich vitamin E, providing a boost of hydration and relief from inflammation for properly happy thighs.
But the clever balm isn’t just for your thighs. Applied anywhere you often rub, the Megababe Thigh Rescue Anti-Friction Stick will keep all your unpleasant friction burns at bay – whether that’s under your arms, between your toes, on your knees or anywhere in-between.
It’s even come in clutch for me on long runs, helping to keep bum cheek friction at bay (which, reader, I had no idea I would be inflicted with in this life).
I even used the Thigh Rescue between my sister’s skin and wedding dress strap on her wedding and it wouldn’t be amiss to say it saved the day.
In truth, I really didn’t think I would find a product that replaced my chafing shorts in keeping the utter pain and discomfort of those dreaded friction burns at bay.
Megababe’s Thigh Rescue Anti-Friction Stick, however, blows my lacy bloomers out of the water.
Providing the perfect amount of slip, the balm stops fiery rubbing in an instant without any feeling of wetness or discomfort, meaning I’m able to wear my dresses, skirts and *shorter* shorts without that inferno feeling.
I‘d eschewed many of my shorter skirts and dresses thinking they were too short for my chafe shorts, scared of the lace showing underneath.
And the line across your thighs when your shorts show through your dress? Not cool at all. Thus, this balm has saved my skin and opened my wardrobe, and I’ll never go back.
And for warm getaways? The clever little stick also comes in a travel size that’s perfect for jet-setting in faraway locations hotter than London.
With one sold every 30 seconds globally and thousands of five-star reviews, this anti-chafe balm isn’t just a classic for me, but for thousands of shoppers around the world.
‘I cannot get through summer without Mega Babe!’ Raved one impressed reviewer. ‘Totally recommend it for anyone who is blessed with chubby thighs!’
Another added: ‘I have been using another product for running for years, but this takes the cake! Thigh rescue has become my new chapstick…
‘I need one in my desk at work, my car, my dresser, etc. It goes on so silky smooth and doesn’t leave a residue. I use it for running, walking, and daily life. Best product ever! A must have.’
