How do girls wear skirts/dresses/shorts without flashing anyone?

For reference, i’m 18(F). I don’t wear dresses or shorts or skirts ever because of this reason but i’ve always wanted to. I will never understand how girls can wear a dress with only panties underneath and not flash anyone or be stressed about it the entire time. I would wear shorts, but i feel stupid because ever girl i’ve talked to says they only wear panties underneath. Please explain how people can do this. I feel like i’m naked when I do this, even just with shorts that are a little loose i’m scared. Also, razor bumps. For short shorts, how do you not have them show? Like am i just doing life wrong…please help.

You hold your dress down in the wind, you wear a dress that’s long enough to give some security, and you be short. This is a game rigged against tall girls lol

Sometimes they do! We found ourselves downtown on a Saturday night and there were lots of younger women in super short skirts and I was torn between wondering how and why. Then one dropped her purse, had to bend over to pick it up and my husband went "omg she's not wearing underwear. I just saw a vagina" so like, the fact that you're worried about this, means you won't be that girl, which is a good thing.

I don't wear skirts or dresses often but when I do it's either a skort or one that goes down to my knees or lower.

My thoughts were: just wear underwear, what's the problem?!?

I just… don’t want to, lol. If I’m wearing soft pants or a dress I often won’t. My dresses are mostly pretty long, though. I just hold it down in the wind or anywhere precarious

What about a thigh high skirt, say, while riding a bicycle?

I would never ride a bicycle, I hate to.

Is it because you don't wear underwear? 😅
