I like these panties a lot, these are my favorite style. I am not a fan of thong panties by the same token,I am not a fan of grandma panties either!  These are comfortable, cute and still sassy!  I gain most of my weight on my bottom (pear shape) so I often feel self-conscious/uncomfortable if things are too tight - these fit me well but don't pull, or give me love handles.  I ordered a medium and I am 5'4 110 lbs - slight pear shape as mentioned before.  I also like that these last awhile, I have a few other pairs from 2 years ago that are doing fine - as in still looking good.  I am pretty frugal about my purchases and while I find these panties a bit more expensive than I'd like (they range from as low as $5 to I think $20 - I never pay $20 per pair of underwear!).  I always look at which color is on sale and usually get them for around $8 each.  I have 5 pairs of these currently along with another brand that has a similar style. Most of all? I really like that these do NOT ride up on me!
