I've tried about 10 different brands of slip shorts and these are probably my favorites. I'm normally a 2x but ordered a size up because I hate tight clothes, and they still fit snugly without being uncomfortable. The legs do not move AT ALL - they don't ride up no matter what I'm doing. I've even worn them to the beach under a swimsuit & they stayed in place. They are relatively high waisted, which I like, and the waistband only rolls down once in a great while if I'm doing a lot of repeated bending/standing, and even then it depends on whether my stomach is having a bloaty day or not :) I've tried the other Vassarette slip shorts & found them all to be too low in the waist for my comfort.

I wear them under dresses 4 or 5 days a week, and the only con I've experienced is that if I'm wearing them out & running errands on a sweaty 90 degree humid day, they don't breathe all that well, but they are still far more comfortable than bike shorts and don't cause any chafing issues.

I've always preferred wearing pants or shorts but didn't figure out why until recently-I just don't feel like dresses or skirts provide enough coverage and I hate it when my thighs touch. I've tried Spanx over the years, but they were so thick that they made me very hot, and the top band would roll down my back no matter what size I wore. Plus, peeing while wearing an undergarment like Spanx was impossible, and taking the undergarment off and then putting it back on was a workout.

I recently attended my neice/goddaughter's baptism, and I needed to wear a dress. I found these slip shorts on amazon and I am SO glad I did! I only wish I would've discovered prior to my wedding day nine years ago. They are thin, breathable, and the legs and waistband all stay in place-no rolling! The heat index was 104 the day I wore these. I was warm but my thighs weren't sweaty and sticking together, and I didn't regret wearing a dress. Depending on your body shape (I'm an apple shape, 5'9", size 16/18) the waistband may come above your belly button; it did mine, but I appreciated that extra coverage. The legs were a great length and wouldn't show under a skirt above the knee. I ended up wearing undies underneath these because I needed to wear a pad and it wouldn't stick to the lining of the slip short. They're comfy with and without undies, in case someone else is curious.

I've since recommended these to a few friends, and my mom bought two pairs and loves them as well-and she lives in Florida, where the heat and humidity are more guaranteed than taxes. :)

These are a great deal-the are well made, fit great, and make wearing a skirt or dress WAY more comfortable. They're a winner all around!

I seriously excited when I read that someone compared these to the Maidenform light flexees (style 1565) that were discontinued. I bought two pairs and pre-washed them yesterday. This morning when I went to pull a pair on the lace waistband just started coming away from the rest of the brief. As a person who has worn these type of briefs for many years, I can say that I did not tug very hard (you learn to keep a light and steady pressure when pulling up and your briefs last much longer). I get that these are inexpensive, but I got to wear them exactly ZERO times. I rate that as a major fail and I'm returning both pairs. In the meantime, if anyone finds a good replacement for the flexees, please let me know. I'm pasting a link to those exalted undies here: Flexees 1565 Weightless Comfort Thigh Slimmer Size Extra Large, Spicy Bronze

I love this and would honestly wear it every day. It's so thin and comfortable. I'm 5'5" with a 35" waist and 42" hips, I ordered the XL. (I wear 12/14 pants).

These are good as a half day option, BUT NOT A FULL DAY! They were longer in the front than in the back on me, and when I'd pull them up I'd accidentally pull my underwear, giving me a wedgie. I loved where it hit on my thighs, and for the first half of the day I had no chub rub. I also liked that it flattened my tummy without making me feel sucked in. I was comfortable sitting and walking, but when my 9-5 ended, so did my coverage. It began creeping up my thighs, falling below my belly, and chub rib crept in. It was exhausting and when 8pm came and I was home I ripped them off.

I'd wear them for a night out, but not a full day of work. For $10, a nice buy. But for coverage, not the full cigar.
