Say hello to my new BFF!  These are so comfortable and soft.  I'm so glad I read the previous reviews and took a chance on these.  I am a fan of the split slip, petti-pant, tap pant whatever you want to call them but this is even better!  The fit is perfect and they do not bind.  If you are looking for girdle type control, this is not for you.  This is a light weight smoothing garment that is butter soft.  I purchased these in Large (I'm a size 12-14 in pants).  Perfect coverage for any weather to prevent the dreaded thigh rub!  I have not yet washed them so I can't speak to their quality after washing but I hand wash and hang dry all garments of this nature so i don't anticipate any issues.
