I must say, these reminds what I wore in late 80s through mid 90s. They were at mervyens and mayco (May company) they were not consider light girdle but these are the same type of stretch. I loved those panties back in the days! I was in my 20s-30s. Now there only available in the girdle section for high cost 2 pack. Im very happy Im able to get here. Note: maybe thats why I had such a flat tummy? Lol
