Shapewear Question

My thighs are saggy! I need shapewear that doesn't cut into my thighs, I would prefer something that went down to the knee or just below the knee. Does anyone have a favorite that they wear? Any advice would be appreciated, Thanks in advance!

    I am not a huge Spanx or any shapewear fan, in the summer months. Generally, all that shapewear in addition to making me hot (I'm always on the hot side) just squishes your fat down around your knees

Definitely spans go to a retail store to see which ones u like best

I just got a Spanx Power Short to try because I forsee a lot of drawstring skirts in my near future as I lose weight, and I have horrible "chub rub". They are doing great. They aren't to the knee, but I know Spanx makes some that are. The other Spanx I have put a lot more compression, these are more like the compression in a spandex bike short. I'll very likely get a couple more of these.

I am not a huge Spanx or any shapewear fan, in the summer months. Generally, all that shapewear in addition to making me hot (I'm always on the hot side) just squishes your fat down around your knees so if you're wearing something at or above the knee, it looks worse than if you're wearing nothing.

I have quite a bit of saggy, loose skin on my upper thighs and above then knee. I have used the product Skinnies Instant Lifts, linked below, and can recommend them. It's basically like a big piece of sticky silicon that you put on your upper thigh and it lifts up a lot of the crepy skin. I wore them a lot last summer and have to say, they are a bit odd and take some getting used to, but they really do smooth your leg above the knee out very nicely. Takes a bit of practice to get on right, but I wore them with shorter skirts, dresses, even wore it playing tennis!
