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 wore these under long skirts in tropical Malaysia and Singapore and didn't feel uncomfortable in them at all. The fabric breathes well and I didn't feel like I was wearing anything more than underwear, even though they cover the thighs. You can wear them without underwear. It was in the 90s F and 99% humidity, and I didn't notice I wear wearing them. There was no air conditioning and I was sweating a ton but no problem with the slip shorts. Also completely effective at preventing chafing. Note: I wear a size 10/12 pants, so I got the large and it was too small by a lot, unless you want a control garment which I didn't. After a couple of exchanges (free) I ended up with the 2XL which fit perfectly without squeezing. So comfortable!

First impression was there is a "panty hose" feel to this. My maiden form slip shorts are a lot smoother type of material. Not at all like panty hose, but they do not stay in place as well as these. It is thin, definitely not for shaping but excellent for smoothing and wearing under dresses/shirts for chafing. Pro-They don't roll down from the waist. The legs stay in place except for when sitting down-they move up but in no means bunch. Still provides excellent coverage after sitting. I do not feel the need to pull them down. Initially they are about three inches above my knee then move up a few more inches after sitting. Con- they seem to stick slightly to my cotton and stretchier skirts. **the seams on the thighs are apparent through tighter skirts. They are definitely not as smooth as a slip. But it is not noticeable. Still works fine. Overall great for chafing and just feeling covered up under a skirt. I wear these with underwear and not alone. I am 5'5 and weigh 165. I bought a large and it fits perfectly. I have longer legs and a shorter torso. (If that helps any) ***Update-Unsure how, but they now have a small runner and are starting to ride up a lot more. I don't think the price is worth it as I just found a similar pair at Walmart for $8.... they are a lot more slick than these and are true slip shorts.

I wore these as a bridesmaid under my dress. I HATE dresses almost as much as I hate my bare thighs rubbing together whether I'm sweaty or not. I was mainly worried about these riding up on me or being way too short as I'm 5'10" and a size 16-18, so tall and large (and sweaty). I must say that these did the trick and it was a massive relief to have something comfortable on under that damnable dress, no matter how kind the bride was to her maids, giving us something pretty and flowy for her summer wedding. They began to ride up on the thighs slightly around 9 hours into running around, sitting, standing, and lifting things in the intense heat of the summer with me coated in sweat and sunscreen though stayed in place for at least 15 minutes after each fixing. Being the picky and fussy dresser I am, only wearing something if it is 100% comfortable, I wasn't mad at these for giving in a bit after a long day of busyness. One thing I will say is that I ordered the light colored ones and they weren't as pale as I'd hoped looking at the picture, but paler than the standard oddly-tanned-white-woman-"nude" you'd get from a randomly branded "nude" color that we're all familiar with. Overall, I love these. Good buy and I really did thank my stars for having them that day.

I have been looking for a pair of "no hose" as I call them that fit like the top of a pair of control top pantyhose. So, that means that they smoothed and lifted my hips, butt, thighs and stomach without putting them in a Spanx like choke hold. I can't STAND most bodyshapers and Spanx because they are sooooo uncomfortable to me and cause bulges over the waist and thigh edges!! I had tried the other Jockey slip shorts and they were better than a lot of the other shapers that I tried in terms of comfort, but don't have enough compression to really smooth and lift. So, I decided to purchase this "model" when I got pregnant because I liked the comfort of the other Jockey slip shorts and was hoping for a little more "control top" action in these. I also wasn't really feeling the maternity shapers because the waists met my bra line (I'm short at 5'1") and I get itchy with things over my stomach. These fit right at navel level and offer just enough support to smooth and lift without causing bulges or internal organ damage. I ordered 2 pair in large for my pregnancy and plan to order a few more in medium for post pregnancy as these are the best kind that I've found since Victoria Secret had the low rise shapers 10+ years ago and discontinued them :(. I just pray that Jockey doesn't discontinue these!!

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).

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 really wanted to like this, but unfortunately, it just doesn't work for me. It looks a bit small coming out of the package, but it actually turned out to be too large because it stretches way too easily. It stayed in place for a few hours, but after that, the legs started riding up. When out in public, there's not much you can do about that, so I had to walk around with the legs uncomfortably bunched up. The fabric does not wick at all and is way too thick. I found the material itself is so thick it was too hot and actually caused me to sweat more. And as I already mentioned, it is not made of wicking fabric. When I began to sweat because the material was too thick, the moisture was not pulled away from my skin at all. Bottom line, it's fine for a few hours on a cool or cold day, but it is definitely not something to wear for an entire day when it's warm out.

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.
