These are AMAZING.With age I've put on bit of weight. I love maxi dresses but have resorted to wearing a lightweight support garment everyday to reduce thigh friction. While I've never fully give up my support foundations, they can get hot and a cause a sweat getting them on. I wore these thigh bands to work for the first time and OMG . . . no binding or those tell-tell indentations on my thighs or "rub" sounds when walking.  The silicone stayed in place ALL DAY and didn't "bite" my skin.  I was cooler and didn't have to pull, tug, and re-adjust after potty breaks. I feel so liberated!! I hope the lace style is as comfortable.
