LOVE this. I'm considering getting a second one! I bought these briefs in 2016 and I'll still be wearing them in 2018 swim season. The tacky/grippy edge along the time seems to have worn out a little bit, but these are still 100% wearable and I'm obsessed. At 5'2" these briefs really do come up all the way to the base of my rib cage like in the product photo. Doing any sort of activity while wearing they do tend to scoot down to your natural waist line a bit over time and if you're chubby like me (165 lb) yes the top will end up folded down when you bend. C'est la vie! It's an incredibly flattering look. Because I am so busty (34G typically), I only buy underwire, bra-sized bikini tops and these bottoms pair soooo nicely. I am currently in my second trimester of pregnancy (24 weeks, 175 lb, 5 foot 2) and will be wearing this exclusively on our beach trip in two weeks! I have size 16. I've basically worn these all through fluctuating between 155 and 175 pounds at this point.
