A Shakedown With Friction Affliction

Story time, y'all! I thought I would share a couple of embarrassing moments...with my clothing!

Oh yes, I'm sure after reading these you'll be able to relate.

First up, the Shakedown!

Picture it: I'm running to a blogging event and my dress starts riding up, thanks to static cling. I immediately start to wiggle and tug at my dress. 

This ladies, is called the Shakedown, a classic move experienced by many. And then I notice the hottest guy looking at me and laughing. As is my fashion, I turned bright red and then nearly walked into a wall. 

This next story is a more recent one: Easter Sunday is a long day for us. Church services, Easter egg hunts, long lunches, and dinners, and all of it in a dress.

So by the time I got home that night, I was deep in the throws of Friction Affliction. This is that good old bow-legged stride I do to avoid my thighs touching because it feels like fire when they do. Thigh fire is hot, and not in a good way.

Finally, finally, y'all, I found solutions. Allow me to introduce Jockey® Skimmies® Slipshort. I have been officially #SavedBySkimmies!




What in the world are Skimmies? They are a super lightweight slipshort that keep panty lines to a minimum and offer anti-static defense. They smooth like a slip but cover like shorts. And they are a must-have in my wardrobe. You need them and you will love them.

They come in 3 styles:

Original Skimmies®

Smooths like a slip, covers like shorts. Offers a smooth, polished look under fitted-to-flowing skirts and dresses. The original design is available in short and regular lengths.
 Silky-smooth microfiber stretch fabric for smoothing coverage without restriction. 8 colors, from S-2XL. $20

Anti-static Skimmies®

Resists static and allows clothes to glide. Wear under pants or other cotton fashions and say good-bye to cling. Wide, flat leg hem for a stay-put fit. Targeted stretch zones flatter your natural curves. $20

Wicking Skimmies®

Breathable mesh panels keep you comfortable and dry all day. Perfect for working out. Moisture-wicking, quick dry fabric helps prevent chafing. Six colors, $22




And here's my Skimmies saving me this summer! Now I feel comfortable wearing this cute flowy, dress!
