What I like best about these panties is the very thing I was initially most wary about. They have elastic that goes around the thighs that I thought might be too tight to be comfortable. Happily, I discovered it is actually not at all binding, yet tight enough that there is no "wedgie" effect from the elastic riding up. The elastic holds the panties right where they need to be, just below the hip.

In addition, the fabric is high quality, smooth and soft. These panties can be washed in a washing machine with cold water on delicate cycle and hung up to dry or they can be hand-washed.

This bikini underwear is about three to five times as expensive as&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Hanes/dp/B000OPGXO8/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Hanes</a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Fruit-Of-The-Loom/dp/B004A7XXHQ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Fruit Of The Loom</a>, but they last three to five times as long. Which means, as the saying goes, "You get you get what you pay for."
