With the spring in full swing, many of us are ditching the coats and heavy layers and reaching for summer dresses and floaty skirts. However, rising temperatures often bring the dreaded discomfort of thigh chafing, commonly known as "chub rub," which can ruin a sunny day out.

Thankfully, Amazon shoppers have found a secret weapon to stop the sting with the SINOPHANT High Waisted Shorts. These budget-friendly beauties act as a silky-smooth barrier under dresses, and with 20%, a pack of three is now available for 15.20 - around a fiver a pair for pain-free walking.

The brand has even earned a golden seal of approval from TV queen and busy mum-of-five Stacey Solomon. The Sort Your Life Out star is such a huge fan of the labels full-length leggings that she famously admitted to "owning them in every single colour."

The SINOPHANT High Waisted Shorts have a versatile biker-style design that makes them a summer essential. Not only can they provide a comfy barrier under flowing skirts and floral midis, but they can also be worn on their own.

Made from a buttery-soft fabric, the shorts offer a "second skin" feel that ensures maximum comfort during long walks, daily commutes, gym sessions and festival hijinks. The high-waisted design provides a gentle tummy-control effect while staying securely in place without rolling down.

Better still, the shorts are currently available for a fraction of the price of high-end shapewear brands, making them an accessible choice for everyone. You can grab a pair now to ensure your summer style remains entirely pain-free and effortlessly chic.

For shoppers who are looking for a more dedicated under short made from thinner material, the 5 Pack Anti-Chafe Anti-Static Cycling Shorts from Marks and Spencer are proving to be popular. Offering light control for a sleek silhouette, they have added stretch and cost a little more at 40 for the pack, or 8 per pair.

For fans of shorts with the flexible feel of leggings, New Look has a two-pack of cycling shorts for 17.99. A comfortable length, they can be worn on their own, at the gym or even under longer garments.

Shoppers who have already snapped up the Sinophant High Waisted Shorts have given them an impressive 4.5 out of five-star ratings across more than 2,500 reviews. One buyer said: "Best chub rub shorts ever. I have the leggings versions of these and live in them because theyre the best leggings ever. I decided to try this length for under dresses, and its the best thing I've done."

Another added: "Awesome shorts, I have bought several packs of these as I find it hard to find nice shorts. The waistband is so comfortable, the length of the leg stops thigh rub, and the material is just lovely against your skin. And for the quality they are, well worth the price for a pack of 3. They have been through the washing machine a fair few times now, and still amazing stretch, kept their size and feel."

A third simply said: "I used to have chub rub at my thighs, but now that's a thing of the past. These shorts do not roll up and have a high waistband."

Some buyers were less impressed, however, with one noting: "Thin material and see through when wearing, so not recommended for sports, but works OK as chub-rub shorts under a dress. The fabric is soft though."

Shoppers have also been showing them off at the gym, with one five-star review adding: "These are so comfortable, I could live in them. Really soft material, nicely high-wasted for comfort and for a bit of shaping. Thin enough to wear under skirts and dresses, but do not go see through if you want to wear them to the gym. Wash well and keep their colour."
