I actually expected these to be thin tight quality, when on arrival, we determined they were fairly thick to call them a tight (which is great)!  We use them for summer sleepwear and for under dress coverage, but these could be used as regular shorts (maybe not the white pair), but definitely the colours.  I was disappointed that the tags were punched in to where the end of the tag tab was inside the waistband and no way to retrieve it from 2 pair (the waistband is folded over then sewn).  We'll see if it works its way out, but if not, these two may not be usable, so not as good of a deal, thus I knocked a star off for that.  Overall, a good buy.
