Hot weather is all very well if you're lounging by a pool with cocktail in hand, but for those of us going about day-to-day life in the heat things can get miserable very quickly.
Summer dresses, skirts and shorts look stylish and keep you cool in the heat, but can leave women of all shapes and sizes struggling with chafing and heat rash.
Beauty fans have taken to TikTok with a host of tips and tricks on how to tackle the uncomfortable problem, ranging from £1 liquid talc to Snag Tights Chub Rub shorts. But the product mentioned most often as the beauty essential to stop so-called chub rub is not only sold by just one retailer in the UK but it literally only hit these shores for the first time a couple of months ago.

Megababe Thigh Rescue was invented by entrepreneur Katie Sturino after she struggled finding products that worked in the heat. It is an anti-friction stick that looks a bit like a deodorant tube. Once applied the soothing balm, which contains aloe vera, pomegranate-seed extract, grape-seed oil, and ginger root, forms a protective barrier than makes for a smooth, gliding walk.
Megababe comes in a handbag friendly 23g version for £8 or a larger 60g pack for £12 both available only from Cult Beauty. It's possible to get 20% off the products if you combine it with other beauty essentials in your basket as the retailer is currently offering 20% off for new customers spending more than £50 if they use the code NEW20.
More than half a million people have watched TikTok user DatinginDisney 's video about the product, where she says: "Only one thing works in heat like this," while @bexcxmpbell described it as the 'product I couldn't live without'.
And it's not just social media hype. UK reviewers agree the product is perfect for the hot weather, with one saying: "This product is a life saver and game changer. I have always suffered from ‘chub rub’ even when I was quite slim, and this is the only product that properly works. I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys wearing dresses in the summer and hates wearing shorts underneath them."
Another added: "I’m a size 16 and have tried different products including creams and anti chafe shorts. This is a total game changer. Can’t say enough good things. I got the small size to fit in handbag. It last really long too - even in hot days with lots of walking."
