If i could've given these panties zero stars i would have! It really is true that you get what pay for + in this instance i didn't even get that! The so called elastic on the waist + leg openings are a joke. I had to keep hiking up my panties all day long like a 5yr old in hand me downs + as 4 the leg openings, lets just say, if i wanted to wear my panties bunched up where the sun don't shine i would have bought thongs! Getting a size smaller wouldnt have helped-they just would have covered less! At the end of the day i couldn't wait to take them off + throw them where they belonged...the garbage!
