I usually purchase Hanes body shapers which are extrememly comfortable. I thought these may be similar. UGH! It's not worth my time to send back for only 7.00. But I will probably just throw them away. The material is not smooth and comfortable like Hanes, and they are very uncomfortable. The waistband is a thick uncomfortable band. I'm a size 6, and only use these shapers to smooth out my figure for snug dresses, skirts or pants. Dont waste your money. This is why it is only 7.00.
