@John that’s a nice strategy! Leggings and tights can have the same issue—certain fabric combos between the skirt and legs will grab, and others will glide.
All true (well, except the boxers). Once you have a skirt on that’s not pulling at your parts when you move your legs, why would you repeat that problem with legged undies? Nope, bikini-cut for me. One garment for the parts. One garment for the legs. Every bit stays happy in action.
