I've been wearing Bandelettes for 4 or 5 years now and they have been life changing! I used to always wear leggings under my skirts or dresses which is uncomfortable and hot. I've owned the athletic variety and a few pairs of the lace ones. My thighs got thicker recently so it was time to order the next size up, which is a D for me. My thighs are 28.5" and I sized down to D because I would rather they be a slightly more snug than too loose. My most recent order was for the Dolce and Onyx patterns:

Dolce in red: Super soft lace, nice and stretchy, 6" wide so great coverage of the parts of my thighs that touch. I'm 5'8" with relatively long legs, so the wider bands are better for me generally. the color is bright and pretty!

Onyx in black: Really pretty pattern, slightly stiffer lace from the Dolce and even though they are the same size as the Dolce they are a little bit tighter, and I'm worried this will cause the silicone to tear or detach from the fabric. I didn't realize these were only 5.5" so I will actually be sending them back and getting the Dolce in black. If they were wider, I think I would have kept them despite being slightly tighter.

I find that the softer lace is the best -- the stiffer lace can cause some chafing on my thighs at the bottom of the band, caused by the band on the other leg.
