Chafing is a skin irritation that happens when your skin rubs against another part of your skin and can be made worse by moisture like sweat.

But the beauty fan has recommended a bargain buy from Primark to solve the issue this summer.

Taking to social media, she said: "I recently did a social experiment for the girls."

She revealed she loved wearing skirts and shorts in the summer but often suffered from chafing.

So while going away with her parents she decided to try the Primark Anti-Chafe Body Balm Stick which is £3.50 in England and was stunned by just how well it worked.

Primark bosses say: "If anything was made for travel, it would be this PS... anti-chafe body balm.

"Arriving in a stick format, this solid moisturiser is a multi-purpose balm that’s designed to be an anti-friction moisturiser.

"It’s formulated with grapeseed oil and Vitamin E, while a light watermelon fragrance adds a refreshing element to the balm. Simply pop the stick into a bag and forget all about leaks and spills."

"Oh my God, this might be the best four euro I've ever spent my entire life," she said.

"It's a God send," she continued.

'OMG stop, I'm in love!' beauty fans say about Primark's new Hello Kitty range, from spot patches to scalp massagers (1)

"I have never experience a holiday where you don't end up kind of with that pain or like having to wear long trousers just because the chafing is so sore."

But now, Laoise revealed she didn't have this problem and would bring it with her whenever the sun is out.

"Buy it!" she continued.

In the comments section she revealed she applied it just once at the start of the day and it put a stop to her skin rubbing together.

The clip on her TikTok account @has since gone viral with over 122k views and 11k likes.

People were quick to thank her for the recommendation in the comments.

One person wrote: "I am so glad this video popped on my FYP I am heading straight to Penneys!!"

Another commented: "Omg I need, my thighs are always touching so I can't escape chafing no matter what when I wear dresses and shorts. Thank you for posting this!"

"Literally the most game changing product to ever exist," penned a third.

Why is Primark the place to go to for bargains?

JUST how does Primark do it? Continue delivering on-trend items at such incredible prices? According to bosses, it's down to four points.

  • They "sell a lot of items" - Thanks to that, they are able to make savings by buying in bulk for their 191 UK stores
  • They "do very little advertising"
  • While their clothes offer the "latest trends", they "don’t use expensive hangers, tags or labels".
  • And lastly, they try to be "as efficient as possible when transporting products from factories to stores". This includes things like asking "suppliers to pack our t-shirts so they are ready to go straight on shelf".
