I bought these after looking at several reviews on several different sites. I just received mine and am wearing them now. They are very comfortable, do wonders for my backside and I took the advice of some of the reviewers and ordered a size down. They were right. Perfect fit. Waist sits a little higher than my aeropostle jeans but not too bad about 1 1/2 below my belly button. The best part is no worries about plumber crack. I bent over to pick up something and didn't feel exposed to the world. The price was right too!  Thanks Amazon!
