I had to buy panties that I could wear a liner with, usually I don't wear any, or the ones I wear are tiny and a liner just won't fit. So I got these thinking the coverage would be fine. The cotton isn't as thick as I would have liked. Also the size seems a little big/baggy around my rear end. I usually wear a size 8-10 in jeans so I thought a size 6 would fit well, but it didnt. I should have gotten a size smaller. Even a tumble in the dryer on high didn't seem to shrink them enough. The colors that I got don't look anything the picture shown but I sort of expected that. These def are not panties for special occasions and there is a VPL (visible pantie line)  if you wear tighter pants with them. Over all I wasn't 100% disappointed, and will continue to wear them.
