” I see London, I see France, I see Beth’s underpants!” I remember being ready to cry the first time a classmate sang that song as I climbed across the monkey bars in my favorite fluffy dress. I’m over 40 now, but that embarrassing moment from second grade still sticks with me. I also remember temporarily swearing off monkey bars, gymnastics, cartwheels and swings from the embarrassment of my Holly Hobby underwear being the laughing stock of recess, yet still being unwilling to give up my girly dresses.
Today’s girls have access to a great product, Over Undies, that allow girls to keep being active and wearing their favorite fluffy, twirly, girly skirts and dresses without fear of inadvertently overexposing themselves in the process. Boy, do I wish these had been around in my day!
Over Undies are slim fitting, longer length, shorts made to be worn under dresses or skirts, but over the child’s underwear. They are designed to give girls full coverage, no bulkiness, and no riding up – features that are hard to achieve by just throwing on a pair of play shorts under your daughter’s skirt or dress.
Our Review of Over Undies
My girls are ages 4 and 9. The four year old, Lila, has not yet achieved the finer points of knowing when her undies are exposed. We’re still working on sitting like a lady when wearing a dress. For my eldest, Alyssa, she wants to be active on the playground, loves doing gymnastics, and likes wearing skirts quite a bit. As a mom, I want both of them to play hard, have fun, and not have to be worried about (or oblivious to) whether or not their undies are showing. Over Undies give me security that my girls can play to their hearts content, without ending up embarrassed like I did.
The shorts fit great on both girls. Right off the bat I love their slim fitting profile – no bulkiness from extra fabric that would make them uncomfortable to wear under skirts or dresses. The style is really cute too. Over Undies come in 4 different styles: Over Undies with lace trim, Over Undies with ruffled trim, Over Undies with a patterned ruffle trim, or Over Undies with no trim. Lila could not resist the ruffled trim style in Soft Pink. Alyssa opted for the Over Undies with no trim in Lively Turquoise. Over Undies come in lots of great colors, and all Over Undies have a cute decorative mini pocket, and come packaged in a reusable cinch tote.
My girls find the Over Undies very comfortable. We’ve even found other uses for the Over Undies than just play time. Over Undies are great for dance class too! They provide a nice amount of coverage, but are still form fitting so dance instructors can see proper body alignment, etc. Lila also has some very sheer tutus that she loves wearing out and about, and with Over Undies, I’m OK with that. Before Over Undies, a request to wear the sheer tutu to the grocery store was met with a “No can do,” now I can say “Sure, knock yourself out, dancer girl!”
