I got these to wear under maxi dresses to prevent chafing and to control sweating. They don't fit tight so you still get a breezy skirt feeling and they breathe because they're cotton and not nylon or spandex. They're not cute... I'd sleep in them if I were single but they remind me of geriatric underwear so I'm embarrassed to have my husband see them.  But when they are hiding under my dress, they do everything I want/need them to!
