I teach water exercise classes from the deck of the pool. So Im always aware that people are looking up at me, watching me jump around, teaching a wide stance, scissor kicks, that kind of thing.  And despite my 100 pound weight loss two years ago I still have very loose, flabby skin on my inner thighs. I generally wear a skort with tighter shorts underneath.

I tried several different fitted shorts.  Some were a thicker cotton material that looked very bulky, tight shape wear that went up to my bra, I also tried the other vassarette undershorts with the lace at the waistband. These have been my favorite. Theyre not too tigt but fitted.  The material reminds me of opaque matte panty hose.

They are not for shaping, but they do provide a smoother silhouette between my low waisted skorts and fitted tank tops.  They comfortably reach my waist. Ive also worn them under shorter dresses and as a slight smoother under more fitted dresses.

They have survived several dips in chlorinated pools then just air drying, cold washing in the machine and even a few runs through the dryer. Theyve done quite well through all this.

My only wish is they offered some with slightly longer legs - that length between mid rise shorts and below the knee capris.  I have found myself tugging them down sometimes.  The legs ride, but do not roll, up.  The waist hasn't rolled down on me yet.
