The cut is ok but I bought size 6 for my 40", 39 lb 3 year old and these shrunk in the wash. They also don't seem to be getting any softer with washing. Will try an 8. This cut is better than the bikini I guess. I don't understand why you have to pay an arm and a leg to have underwear that COVERS your daughter's parts. I mean seriously, it's like what creep is designing girls' clothing??? Might try the "boyshort" or traditional briefs to see if we can find something that isn't wedgie creating.
