Stacey Solomon’s go-to brand has £5 chub rub shorts shoppers love

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.

Crafted from a buttery-soft fabric, the shorts deliver a ‘second skin’ feel that guarantees maximum comfort during long walks, daily commutes, gym sessions and festival hijinks. The generous construction provides a gentle tummy-control effect while remaining firmly in position without the worry of them rolling down.

Available in sizes from Small to 3XL, the brand prides itself on offering an inclusive fit to accommodate all body shapes. The fabric’s moisture-wicking qualities ensure breathability in warm weather, helping those wearing them stay cool and comfortable throughout the day, reports the Daily Star.

With thousands of five-star reviews on Amazon, customers are praising the opaque material that removes any worries about see-through fabric. Better still, the shorts are a lot more affordable than some other high-end shapewear brands, making them an accessible choice for all budgets.

For those looking for a more specialist under-short made from lighter fabric, the 5 Pack Anti-Chafe Anti-Static Cycling Shorts from Marks and Spencer are proving popular. Offering gentle support for a sleek silhouette, they feature additional stretch and are priced marginally higher at £40 for the set, equating to £8 per pair.

Shoppers who prefer shorts that have the longer feel of leggings could consider the New Look two-pack of cycling shorts for £17.99. A practical length, they can be worn alone, at the gym or beneath full skirts or maxi dresses.

Amazon customers who have purchased the Sinophant High Waisted Shorts have given them an outstanding 4.5 out of five stars, based on more than 2,500 reviews. One delighted customer remarked: “Best chub rub shorts ever. I have the leggings versions of these and live in them because they’re the best leggings ever. I decided to try this length for under dresses, and it’s 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 buyer simply stated: “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.”

Not every customer was wholly won over, however, with one reviewer cautioning: “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 wearing the SINOPHANT High Waisted Shorts during their workouts, with one enthusiastic five-star review declaring: “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.”
