I wanted a panty that was not cotton, fit at my hip line without being so "bikini" that it skimmed just above any hair lines. These are it! They fit perfect, my normal size. They hit right at the hip bone without being too teeny. They have nice coverage in the rear. I like them and will buy another box. I am 65, 5'3 and weigh 160 lbs. I bought a size 8. I wear a 10 or 12 in pants or jeans.
