Jockey Women's Underwear Skimmies® Wicking Slipshort

I've always avoided wearing skirts or dresses because of the dreaded thigh rub. I've tried Bandelettes, which are basically lacy bands that go around your thighs, but I found that those weren't as comfortable as I might have liked. So I was eager to try these Skimmies, which are basically like shorts, but made of a thinner slip-like material. And these were exactly what I was looking for. For someone more accustomed to wearing pants than skirts, the style felt super comfortable; the wide waistband is reminiscent of yoga pants and fits just right, smoothing without creating lines; the whole thing minimizes lines everywhere, though you still have to be a bit careful about wearing just any old underwear underneath; and the legs are long enough that they don't ride up. I tried the shorter version of these as well, but didn't like those as much, since the legs didn't seem to stay in place as well. Still, the longer length seems fine for pretty much any dresses that I want to wear, and I have pretty short legs. The one thing you need to be aware of is that this isn't really shapewear. It might help smooth out your stomach a little bit, but it won't really flatten it at all. On the one hand, this means that it's really comfortable; on the other hand, it means that it may not meet all of your needs. Personally, I liked these enough that I actually wore them on my wedding day, prioritizing comfort a bit over flattening. The important thing is that I was able to walk around in a dress for hours in the hot sun with absolutely no thigh trouble at all. I can't really express how happy I am to be rid of thigh rub, and with an article of clothing that's no trouble at all to wear. It feels comfortable and natural. I'm sure I'll be purchasing more of these in the future.

I bought one of these, then bought the multipack later on, I liked the first set so well. They are very comfortable. Not too tight, and they (mostly) stay in place. I bought them to wear under a hiking skirt, and they are perfect for that. Not too hot to wear on a hot day. They don't feel wet even when you perspire. They keeps your legs from chaffing. And if you are modest, and happen to stumble and fall, they are not too awful to be seen by a stranger who witnesses the unfortunate event. The legs do creep up slightly when you hike uphill, but they were not uncomfortable when that happened. I mention the creeping only in the interest of full disclosure. They wash well and easily line dry overnight. I'm going to take them on a long backpack trip, later this summer.

I love the look and ease of dresses, but in the warmer months I hate the sticky, sweaty feeling of bare legs under a dress. These are the perfect solution with the added benefit of coverage you'd get from a regular slip. This variety I like better than the original Skimmies because the fabric has more of a slick texture that skirts can glide over (the originals are more microfiber feeling and I've had skirts cling to it). They are very comfy and you can stretch or not stretch the legs to adjust the length depending on how long your skirt is. I do find the waist bunches up from sitting but not so badly that it creates a bad look under clothes. I can smooth it back easily. I'd definitely recommend trying a pair if you want to avoid sticky legs in the summer! As far as sizing, I wear an 8-10 in pants/dresses and the L size fits comfortably - not too tight or too loose.

This has got to be the most useful item I hsve ever bought! That's high praise from me. Ive worn this to smooth under a tight fitting skirt and it did the job while letting me breathe. I also wore it under a bridesmaid's dress in an outdoor wedding in 90 + degree weather and it saved my legs. Never rolled down or up and was extremely comfortable for kicking it on the dance floor for 5 hours ( I repreat 90 degrees and flippin outdoors with no shade)!!! By the time everything was over I was drenched and melted but these spanx or whatever you call them stayed in place and kept my legs chafe free. Im also plus sized usually wearing a size 18 and the 2x was perfect in these. I would rate higher than 5 stars if I could!! To note, there is no easy bathroom access for these but I had very little trouble pulling these up and down.

I had high expectations for these slip shorts. I was told how awesome they were and really wanted to believe it. My expectations were exceeded!!! They are incredible! Only wish I had found them sooner. They fit perfectly, not too tight but they also don't move around or ride up while wearing them. They help with the clinginess that often accompanied my other shorts that I wore under dresses(won't be wearing those again). They wick sweat, so are perfect for the warmer months, and they feel wonderful on. I plan to order at least 2 more pairs... I wear lots of dresses, especially in the summer! Thanks, times a millionJockey and bye-bye thigh rub!!! For those wondering about sizes... I typically wear a 14/16 in pants, a 12/14 in dresses. I think the XL would've been great too, but I was worried they would be too tight and more like shapewear if I went smaller. Now I don't think they would, but I will probably order the same sizes next time too. They are just so comfortable!

I'm 5'2" and normally wear a size 14 but I find the small in these are still too big (they stretch a lot). They fit well above my belly button and roll down at the top within five minutes of wearing. The legs stay put but are too long if I wear short skirts. They stop chub rub and are comfortable but are generally too long and can be rather warm in hot weather. I wish Jockey would simply attach some "legs" to regular panties; these aren't made to provide support so the style on top doesn't make much sense. If they were shorter in length top and bottom they would be near perfect (the large waistband really isn't necessary).

Oh. My. Goodness. I’m so in love. I’ve worn Spanx for a few years under dresses, but these? They Spank the Spanx, hands down. If you just need a sheer short to wear under dresses/skirts, and want to keep friction to a minimum - this IS your bag. If you want full compression shapewear, these are not for you. However, there is a little smoothing with these, which is really nice. The band DOES NOT ROLL (make sure you order the correct size. I’m a solid 18 and went with a 2XL). The legs don’t creep. My skin can breathe. And, you don’t sound like a walking warmup suit or polyester diaper (seriously - not even a whisper of noise). Now I’ve been wondering what other miracles are out there that I’ve been missing all my life! Seriously. If you’re just trying to keep your thighs from rubbing together and want to forget you have shorts on under your dresses, get these. Excellent price for being this comfortable!

Let me tell you how I found these. Day one: nearly used my teeth to open up the too tight waist of a long line skimmer after a 10 hour flight to Paris. Okay. Yes. I did use teeth (and a corkscrew). Day two: waist bands ragged but thankfully loose and sweated buckets in nylon blend skimmers. No rubbing thighs but wow! I’m now paranoid that my skirt has sweat stains as my thighs feel encased by hot nylon. There has to be a better way. Day three: dreading the heat and on amazon shopping. End result was alll my skimmers now have the waists cut open for comfort and are going in the trash. I don’t want compression. Simply a slimmer for a smooth line and preventing thigh rub. These are perfect. The fabric is silky so glides over knits. The waits is nice and wide. No fold over. I did order up a size. Normally a 14 (5’8” and 185) and ordered the 2xl as I want a loose waisted fit. Perfect!just ordered two more.

I would recommend these to anyone wearing a dress, especially during the summer. They were very comfortable and worked as expected.

I wish I’d discovered these sooner! They prevent sticky thighs in summer & add warmth in winter. I got married in winter and wore them under my dress. Supremely comfortable and fit like a dream.
