I'm going to start by saying that these things are game. changers. in the summer. I have thick thighs, but am a dress wear-er when its warm out. I don't like spanx/shorts because it was unnecessary to have all the extra fabric when my only issue was my inner thighs.

The only downside: the silicon has come off on two pairs. Granted, I wear these maybe 4x per week, and I keep buying them because it is so worth it for me, even though they break down fairly quickly.
