walking clothes help

Hi everyone. I love walking as my main exercise. However, I only have one pair of shorts (dress shorts, not exercise shorts) that I can wear. All exercise shorts are either A. too short, B. spandex and I am preop-don't want to be seen in spandex or C. ride up between my legs as I walk, which is both embarassing and uncomfortable. Any suggestions for shorts that are longer than the bottom of my butt and don't ride up? I won't walk every day if my one pair of shorts are not washed. And then if I wear them for exercise, I can't wear them during the day. Help please

 do they have to be shorts? i love exercising in old navys yoga capris, i even wear them when im not exercising. i love them!

 Capri pants

I found some cotton bike shorts. They're long, to my knee, and kind of tight but I wear a long tshirt to cover the worst parts! They don't ride up and they prevent chub rub.

 As I don't wear womens clothes, I obviously can't help your fashion problem.  The solution seems quite sime though, If you have one pair of shorts you know you like, buy more of those shorts.

Honestly, laundry as an excuse for not exercising is no excuse.  IF you let something that simple get in the way of your exercising you should probably readdress the priorities.  Is burning calories more important, or having a nice pair of shorts to wear while doing it?

Let me go ahead and give you another heads up - As you start to lose you are going to need more and more workout style clothes.  You will need compression garments and sports bras and all of that jazz.   Find a store locally that is affordable and has items that work for you.  As you shrink quickly, you will have to buy several sets in quick succession.  Don't spend too much, and don't get hung up on finding the perfect outfit.  You won't be spending much time with it.

I wore the capri length spandex leggings from JC Penneys. The brand is Xersion and they are super comfortable, wash up well and carry you thru several sizes as you are losing. They run about 15-20 $ but check EBAY as I have found them there for much less. They also have a back zip hidden pocket on the waist band for ID, keys, money etc if you need it. Nice quality.

I wear old navy compression capris.  I know they seem like spandex but they do a fantastic job of keeping jiggling bits in place.  I run in them now and they are the best.  I have heard walmart also does compression pants as well.

Thanks for all the info. Rob, I did try to buy more of the shorts, but I live in CT and winter stuff is coming out already (actually, I tried buying more a month ago and they were off the rack!). You know, in winter they sell summer stuff and vice versa. Just like at Christmas they are putting out the Valentine's stuff. Once I lose about 20 lbs I will have a whole new workout wardrobe. I have workout clothes in every size from 8 up but none for my current, and most heavy weight.
Seems like everyone likes capris, so off I go to the store to find a couple pairs. And yes, only 2 pairs because hopefully by the time fall comes, I will not fit in them! (cross my fingers)!

I like the cotton shorts from Walmart. I get them to the knees and capri sizes.

Champion brand has online sales all the time and they fit nicely.
