I don't understand the negative reviews. I've worn these panties for years...like 20+ years. So I wonder if it's a case of not understanding sizes. If you purchase these panties and they're too tight it's not the panties fault. Be realistic about your size and order accordingly. RE: Complaints about "making me look pregnant" I agree...but, uh, these panties don't have magic powers... Love these and will continue to purchase.
