Im a curvy lady, mainly due to having children. My belly kind of resembles a kangaroo pouch by now. I tried 10-12 brands of leggings on Amazon looking to pull in the belly area without creating pain and looking for an opaque product. These were the winners by a mile. Ive now bought 4 pairs and I wish theyd make them in a million colors. They wash well on delicate/cold with dark woolite. They are soft and cozy and comfortable. They don't reveal anything besides your curves. When I went to a winter destination, I put long underwear under them and was quite comfortable (indoors).
