what did you wear under dress (plus size)

Just wondering if any plus-size girls wore some kind of slip or shorts kinda thing under their dress to minimize chaffing from their thighs rubbing together. It sounds nasty, and honestly, feels nasty too when it happens. Each time I've tried on my dress, I've felt warm, and I know I'm going to be hot in it, even in November. But I'm stuck trying to find something that fits comfortably for under my dress. I already have a longline bra and an A-line slip for under my dress, but I need something to wear under that to keep my thighs comfortable. I HATE pantyhose because I always wind up with raw thighs. I bought a kulotte(sp?) slip type of thing from Jessica London's catalog to test it out, bought the smallest size, and that was too big. I'm not sure where to look. What I find in regular-size stores is too small, and the plus size stores have things too big.

Any ideas? Any advice? Does spanx make something like this?

Thanks in advance!!

ETA: spelling

I wore Spanx. I always wear some kind of shorts under skirts, I feel naked without them. Even if I'm wearing hose or tights.

My sister had used this and raves about it!

CC - they also have other types of shapewear that comes in shorts that are not spanx ... probably less money and might do what you need it to - i saw them at macy's.
