I really love the way the Flexees feel and they are very comfortable. My problem is with the quality of the stitching. I washed them prior to wearing and noticed when wearing them that the sewing was unraveling. It wasn't an issue that they were too tight, but more an issue with the sewing. So, because I love them I attempted to sew them up. Washed them again and had another hole in another location! Again, it wasn't because I was squeezed into them and ripped them, but more an issue with the stitching. If I buy these again I will carefully check the seams for any problems prior to washing them. I have never had this issue with Spanx so I will stick with my Spanx.
