I recommend beige Spanx--not the hosiery type Spanx, but the heavier, lingerie type Spanx, 3/4 pant length--they are so comfortable and you can't see any lines at all.

Thanks! I thought beige would be the color and I will try the Spanx.
I appreciate the help. Who knew white could be problematic?

I agree with Spanx, the best invention for women since the tampon.

If you have a nice shape to your legs, no major cellulite or jiggling, I would try a thong even though you said no at first. I personally am past the thong point, so Spanx are my savior. You can get them pretty cheap on eBay.

Do Spanx breathe? Are they hot in the summer? They sound kind of confining.

Yes, they do "breathe," at least a lot more than the other shapewear I've tried. I am hot natured and haven't found them to be too hot, either, under most circumstances. What I like about them is you just forget you're wearing them and you don't worry about bumps, lumps, or what might be showing.

Here is a link to the ones I'm referring to; they are a little pricey, but I wear them several times a week, wash by hand or on delicate cycle and hang to dry and they are holding up just great.

Spanx

I buy control top nude hose and cut them off to right above my knees. This is much less expensive that spanx (which I found to roll down too much) and is a perfect soluton to the white pants dilemma. I also do this for dresses that don't require pantyhose, but where you still want the control on top from hose.

For anyone reading who may be dark skin... wear black. It's amazing.... Even if are more honey brown... it works wonders!
