This is my first pregnancy during the warm/hot months of The South - I soon discovered something was needed to prevent thigh chaffing! I have these and 2 other brands, and these are pretty good. What I like: don't make a swishing noise when I walk, the belly part stays up well, not too hot, mid-priced, and they do what I wanted. What I don't love: I wish the leg portion was longer (mine aren't nearly as long as the images on here show), Id like some more support/compression, and id Really prefer the back part end at the waist like other brands (these tend to bunch down a bit around the waist). Overall, Im pretty happy with these and would buy another pair.
