Ladies: recommend your running shorts/skorts

Looking for running shorts or skirts/skorts that don't ride up in between your legs and get bunched up. I have also had shorts where when I run there is a baggy area in the front and I look like I am wearing a diaper. I am tall -about 5'8 and 146 pounds, so I can't do short shorts because of my height.

I saw a Nike running skirt in the sporting goods store today, it seemed to be what I was looking for - the skirt laid flat in the front - so no bunching up, and underneath was a spandex-type short. It had a zipper pocket in the back. Only problem is that I was inbetween sizes, so I will likely go back after I lose a few more pounds and get the right size.

Any recommendations appreciated! Thank you!

    I prefer leggings. All my shorts bunch up like that and I think it's my thighs. LOL! So I wear some sort of leggings...long ones in winter or ones that come right below or above the knee in summer.

    I have a Nike running skort and LOVE it. I normally wear bike shorts so I don't get chaffing between my legs. The skort is just cuter. :o)

    I have some cheapy ronhill ones I really like. Mid-thigh length. I just tried out my new adidas skort this morning. Very short! Also the sizing comes up pretty tiny. I am usually an S or a UK 10, and these are a 10 and tight on me. Stayed in place, though. Not that it could move far, being so short!

    I bought a lot of Nike shorts for running when I was thinner. Right now I've been wearing running shorts from Aspire ( Sports Authority). The interesting thing about them is they have a full close-fitting short underneath them, which is good if you get chafing or if you run at a gym on a treadmill and want to be abe to do other exercises without showing the entire gym your lady bits. I hadn't even noticed they had these boy short sort of sewn-in undies til I got them home, but they are very comfy!

    I wear running shorts from Old Navy. They are short as all get out but they have a liner (kind of like bloomers in cheerleading uniforms) so even if they are "too short" no one's seeing anything interesting.

    Champion mesh shorts. Love those things.
