I absolutly LOVE this pair of slip shorts. I, like many others, suffer from the dreaded "chub rub". I also live in a state that can reach 120 degrees in the summertime. Those two issues do not a fun time make. I like to wear loose dresses and these have saved my thighs! They do not creep up anywhere near what other styles have .... they do some, its the nature of the beast .... but it was later in the day when they have been on all day and it was HOT out .... I had no "buldge' where shorts stopped and leg began and they were so light and comfy I hardly remembered they were on. They are NOT however control top in any way. They are not meant for that and they really don't do so in any way but for what they were designed to do, they do very well. I ordered another 2 pr so I always have a clean pair when I want to slip on a sundress and walk without a painful rash within a few hrs. Give them a shot!
