I got these again because I loved the soft fabric and covered leg and waist band. And they last and last!  This time I am disappointed in how they fit, however. They come up a bit above my waist! Not at all what I was expecting. I had some from a few years ago so expected a similar fit. Comparing the old to the new, the waistband is about an inch smaller even though the rest of brief is larger even after washing and drying.
