A jockey catalogue came in the mail. I decided to try the slipshort because during the summer I couldn't stand wearing a dress or skirt without stockings. (I hate my legs rubbing together). I was tired of cuting the leggs out of pantyhose and wearing that over my underwear. The slipshort fits the bill. You can wash and reuse them. It's not a girdle at all, very comfortable to wear. The legs do not ride up at all. Best part I love the way the crotch is sewn, giving you complete range of motion. It kind of reminds me of bicycle shorts but a thinner material. If your dress just happens to blow up in the wind, guess what your covered. Both of my sisters have ordered them after I told them about it. Ladies you owe it to yourself to get a pair in every color....
