It doesn't matter if you weigh 100lbs or 200 there is almost no way to avoid a line of demarcation when wearing anything under pants which hits on the thighs.  Skimmies really needs a slacks version which hits at or right below the knees.  That length would keep them short enough for wearing with cropped pant lengths in addition to full length.  The present version is fine for skirts, although I'll step on the slip soapbox again and say nothing lines a skirt/dress better than a real slip.

Yes.  I discovered that the hard way!

@Trix...funny you mention slips...I have three and wear them all.  I have a friend who is a supervisor in an office of mostly females she had to take a new hire aside and explain that she needed a slip under her sheer dress (and she was wearing a thong)  everything was very visible!

This girl did not know what a slip was and had no idea she was dressed in an unprofessional manner.

It's a shame that there are young people who don't know how to dress properly for work.  I know this no longer means wearing a suit or conservative dresses with hose and heels in many workplaces, but there is still a standard for attire in the white collar workplace.  For you youngsters who aren't familiar with the term white collar it refers to: office, sales, law, medical (where a uniform by be worn)... usual rule is any non uniformed person who is in contact with clients and customers.   

Speaking of dressing for work... the other day I saw Ann Taylor Loft has a section in the store called Work.  It's a section of pieces their buyers have deemed appropriate for work.  The section included trousers, shirts and blouses, knit tops, and a couple of dresses.  The dresses were opaque knits and structured fabrics.  Leggings, halters style tops, maxi and sheer dresses were all over the store, but not in this section. I thought it was a nice move by AT stores to showcase fashionable, comfortable wear- to-work clothes.

Exactly. Going up a size isn't going to solve this problem.

I have this issue and mine definitely aren't too tight.  It's not spillage because the band is digging in to the thigh and creating a line.  It's just the line of the skimmies.

This will also be visible under thinner skirts etc. when you walk. 

I believe Renee has a product that comes below the knee.

If I am wearing a skirt or dress that would be revealing if standing behind a light source, I will always wear a slip or half slip. No one needs to see how much space is between my thighs.

I understand those that see a hem on their Skimmies. I keep hoping Calvin Klein will come out with a Skimmies type product similar to my fav Calvin undies with NO hem at all around the legs or waist. I can wear them under the sheerest of items without visible panty lines.

Sounds good. And while he's at it he needs to bring back my bra he discontinued!!!

I do love the CK lingerie...

I really like the skimmies under wider leg pants, dresses, and skirts. I never wear them under tighter leg pants although I seriously doubt anyone is looking at my thighs. They really do work great and I hope the Breezies thigh length panties work as well.

I never wear Skimmies with pants.  I wear mine under opaque slim knit skirts.  These skirts don't need a slip, but the skimmies offer a bit of control and also prevent thigh rubbing which is very uncomfortable and annoying. For modesty under light weight skirts and dresses I wear petit pants - basically a half slip but they are designed in a shorts style.  This gives me coverage, prevents thigh rubbing, and they don't ride up like traditional slips.

I tried a pair of Skimmies under a form-fitting tank-style maxi dress last Friday. Typically, I would wear my Spanx shorts, which work well, but I wanted to try something that would be smoothing but not "compressing". They fit nicely and were comfortable but, when I put on my maxi dress, I was dismayed to see that the dress clung to the Skimmies! The Spanx garment I usually wear has a very satin-y finish and my dress just glides over it, never clinging. At first, I thought it was static cling but then I felt the fabric of the Skimmies and found that it wasn't "slippery" at all. I guess I'll only be able to wear them when I only need something to keep my thighs from rubbing together but it's useless for wearing under something that fits close to the body.
