If there’s one thing that’ll ruin a day in the sun faster than almost anything, it’s chafing. Whether it’s your inner thighs, your arms, or even your shoes sliding up and down against your heels, constant chafing can create sores, dry patches and even blisters, making walking around unbearable.
The heat often makes it even worse, which is why beauty fans have been rushing to add this First Aid Beauty Anti-chafe Stick to their summer skincare rotation. Packed with skin nourishing ingredients and priced at just £20, it’s a quick fix that means you never have to worry about chafing again.

Chafing can be caused by either two areas of your skin rubbing together, such as your inner thighs when wearing a skirt or dress with no material between them. It can also occur when clothing constantly brushes against one area of your skin, such as inner arms rubbing on the seam of a vest or when your T-shirt rubs against your chest whilst running.
Thankfully the First Aid Beauty Anti-chafe Stick can be applied just about anywhere on your body that rubbing occurs. It’s full of ingredients like shea butter and colloidal oatmeal which help to soothe, hydrate and nourish your skin to prevent dry patches from forming.
It also creates a protective barrier between your skin and whatever else it’s rubbing against, allowing your skin to simply glide across it without catching and rubbing. Just for peace of mind, though; it won’t leave you feeling greasy, and it’s fragrance free and safe for sensitive skin.
You simply apply four to five swipes of it across your skin (or as many as you need to cover the area) and then carry on with your day. The Beauty Anti-chafe Stick also comes in a handy stick formula that you can pop in your bag and top up while you’re out and about, making it ideal for everything from everyday errands, to holidays to special occasions where you don’t want to worry about chafing.
First Aid’s stick isn’t the only one on the market, though. You can also snap up this Megababe Thigh Rescue Mini Anti-Chafe Stick for just £8 at ASOS, which has also been well-praised by shoppers. Boosted’s Anti Chafe Balm is another big hit and costs just £14.99, with both products offering similar glide-on balm formulas.
However, it seems First Aid’s Beauty Anti-chafe Stick has been a huge hit with shoppers, who gave it a 4.5 star rating on Sephora. One happy shopper said: “This saved my Mexico honeymoon!!! I have tried many thigh sticks including using deodorant and this lasted me hours. I re-applied whenever I used the washroom or got out of the pool. Easy as cake!”
Whilst another said it was great for the whole family, writing: “My daughter and I absolutely love this anti-chafe stick!! It is by far the best one we have found. She gets chafed every summer at the beach in the thigh area and on her arms where they rub against her swimsuit top. We discovered this last summer and she did not chafe at all. It glides smoothly even after being in the pool or ocean.”
One did caution, however: “This product worked amazingly for my inner thigh chaffing, my only concern with this product is that if you are in a warm environment this product will begin to melt in the container.”
Another agreed: “Worked okay, but mine unfortunately melted down into the base of the container. I decanted it into a small jar, but it’s obviously not as nice to use like that.”
However, others have hailed the Beauty Anti-chafe Stick a crucial part of their summer beauty routine, writing: “As a fat girl who sweats a lot under my breasts and between my thighs and will be in and out of the water a lot in summer, this thing has been a LIFE SAVER for me! Totally stops the painful chafe.”
And another praised: “This is a total life saver when wearing shorts on a hot day, my legs glide past each other. Absolute summer essential.”
