Love these! They are super stretchy. I got the 2x and am about a size 16. I think the 1x would have worked fine, too. They are not constricting and are comfortable to sit down in. They are so stretchy that the legs can be hiked up or pulled down comfortably to accommodate for a shorter or longer skirt. I'm not sure how long the inner thighs will hold up against thigh rubbing, but I'm happy with the product overall. They do not offer much or any "slimming," so if you're looking for a shaper short, I would not recommend these. But, if you just want a comfy short to wear under more flowy skirts, these rock!
