I live in a very humid city and don't wear skirts because I can't handle the chafe. My friend recommended these to me and, in as much as undergarments can be life-changing, these have been life-changing. I wore them while touring Paris and bought several more pair when I got home. They aren't shapewear, so they're not too tight, the fabric is smooth and stretchy. The waistband rolls a little bit, but it's not so bad to make me dislike them.
