Oh my goodness. Talk about breathable and comfy! My thighs chafe horribly in summer wearing dresses and skirts. So much so that I stopped wearing them but these are the solution! They come down just far enough that I don't rub but they don't stick out! I ordered the xxl/9 and they are snug without binding. I am 55 and 200 lbs. normally a 16 in pants. They do not show under clothes unless its something skin tight and even then its barely noticeable. Nice wider waistband so its not pinching.
