These are my first pair of spanx, and I must say I LOVE them so they definetly won't be my last! They are so comfortable,and once you get them on, they feel like a second skin. They do as advertised (give a nice smooth silhouette under clothes like dresses or skirts)for pants I think I will order the hi-waist brief (because I like my hips) They hold your tummy in adequately (not like you're 20 unless you are 20) I'm a heavy older woman and I am very pleased with the way they perform. Great product, and I will be ordering more!
