    Out of habbit I push my kilt apron to weight it down betweeen my legs when sitting down. This solves the problem for me... unless someone goes onto the floor and on-puposely wishes to look up my kilt!
    It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

    Alright, all understood... Another classic case of giving a small worry too much airplay in the brain... haha I guess it comes from the notion of wanting to be fully prepared to don the kilt for the first time. Always have been an over-thinker, myself... Thanks rabble!

    No worries! As you can tell by the number and diversity of responses, you're not the only one to be 'concerned' about this particular issue.

    As my father told me when I was younger, "If it didn't happen--then THAT's a concern!"

    Yes, I've found the sporran placed correctly helps greatly in this situation. And, as Rex stated it will most likely be more apprearant to you as you think about it than to others. Happy kilting!

    This deviates a little from your original concern but is in keeping with modesty while wearing a kilt and don't believe I have ever seen this addressed here on XMTS.

    I have both an 8 yard knife-pleated kilt and a 4 yard box-pleat. While I like them both, one aspect of the 4 yard is that it requires a little more attention to modesty while seated. With all of that extra material in the "tank", there's just more material that naturally lays between one's thighs. Not a big deal, just different.

    I'll just chime in here to back the preceeding advice... the sporran hypothesis sounds good to me.
