I was very excited to find these. I don't like the longer leg version of these but don't like the shape of the ones without legs. These boy short versions sounded awesome.

First off, these are really comfortable. It's a lighter-weight level of control but still helped smooth everything else out like you'd expect.

I have two problems with these:
1. The top goes much higher than on other versions. I basically got a roll of fabric at the top that was not comfortable. I have a shorter torso but have never had this problem before with other versions. If I was very careful not to pull it up as tightly as I usually would, I could kind of spread the fabric down enough that it didn't do that but it takes time I don't always have.

2. I was sooooooo careful but the inside seam where the upper and lower sections meet ripped. The same thing happened with the seam between the body and the leg portion of the other style on every pair Ive owned. I wish they could figure out how to make those stronger.

After that seam partially ripped they were unwearable so I carefully detached the whole thing. I found I can still wear them that way by folding what was the inner layer down over the outside. Whats good about this is I can adjust the torso height by pulling the layer further down over my hips than how it was sewn. But you have to fuss with it quite a bit every time you pull them down and up and that makes them impractical on a work day.
