These are perfection! I'm a pear shaped gal who wears 18 top, 20 bottom. I wear a lot of LULAROE and was always having an issue with the dresses getting hung up on my cotton panties and slip shorts. The fabric used slides beautifully, allowing me to wear my mid-length skirts and dresses with confidence. It was also nice to know I didn't have to worry about a rogue gust of wind. They aren't terribly hot. I just got back from a Caribbean cruise where I rotated 2 pairs every other day. I wore them over panties but you could wear them alone if you want. They made my vacation wardrobe easy. I'll be buying more this spring.

I live in Texas and it gets very hot. These are light and breathable. They are not meant for tummy control. They are simply meant so that your thighs won't rub together. I love them and will buy more.

I got an XL which was a tad too large. The L fit perfect. I am 5'2 and 195 lbs. I wear dresses a lot in the spring and summer and this works great to wear under them to prevent chaffing. I have tried shorter yoga-type shorts under dresses before but they are not long enough. These undersummers are very light too so you don't get hot either. I highly recommend these!

Let me start by saying I don't ever leave negative reviews. I truly feel for the price of these, they should have lived up to the job. Unfortunately, they didn't.
When my package arrived I took them out and put them right on. I thought they were great! I wore them around the house for a couple hours to test them out. They seemed to be what I had been looking years for! Then the weekend came and I decided to wear them under a skirt to my daughters softball game. As we were walking up to the field I quickly discovered these were NOT what I have been searching for. They started to creep up and by the time we reached the bleachers, they were all bunched up around my thighs. I found myself tugging and pulling them down. I couldn't wait for the game to end so I could go home and take them off!!

I am a size 18/20 and went up a size to a 3x per the reviews I read. They were a tad loose in the tummy, but overall fit well. The length of the short was mid-thigh, which is why I think they rode up. Had they been longer and tight like a bike short they may have survived the day.

How have I lived for so long without knowing about Undersummers! I use them under dresses to avoid thigh rubbing. They work very well. The legs move their way up sometimes, but not often, I have always used bike shorts, and Undersummers are lighter and make me feel more feminine. I am very happy to have found these and will order more as the need arises. Size: I wear pant size 26 and I bought the 3x. It feels great, works great. It is slightly loose, so I ordered a 2x. Whoa nellie! They were much smaller, and the legs rode up often. Conclusion : a little slack is good.
