    If you take the grippers off, the shorts will ride up. That's why they're there. The alternative is old-school shorts that go down almost to your knee.

    Doesn't the skirt cover all of the shorts? IME, skorts have extra-short shorts, which means the grippers fall high on the thigh where most women have some fat (and you don't have to have much for them to dig in there). To me they're uncomfortable for that reason - and also for that reason, the grippers have to be extra-tight to keep them from riding up on your "triangular" adductor muscles. But because of the skirt, you're the only one who sees it.

    You might want to try regular length shorts instead of skorts. If you like the idea of a skirt, there are lightweight skirts that you can wear over any shorts.
