I love these panties, have several pair in different colors and wear them every day. They help me look and feel great in my clothes. Like many people who lose weight (or gain weight!), I have a chub roll right around my belly button and these help smooth that area out in my dresses and skirts.

The nylon is silky and has very light stretch. This is nothing like wearing Spanx - I hate restrictive garments like that. I'm not trying to look like I've lost 5 pounds, I just want to smooth things out about and be comfortable all day. I love the purple polka dot color and the black with leopard waist - makes them seem less grannyish and I'm not the least bit conscious of people seeing them in the locker room at the gym. I've found bras to match too, so while not exactly sexy, they are cute and I feel confident all day.

The crotch area is cotton and that is nice, but it's not sewn in all the way - so as you wash them, that cotton crotch area gets out of place. I think when I get new ones, I'm going to sew them down before the first wash. That would also help panty liners stay in place.

Now, of course, if you tend to wear low waist pants/jeans, you probably won't want these as they'd stick out of the pants. Warner's does make a low waist version.
