I found my first pair of these at Target and love them for the summer and under skirts because they are cool and lightweight and don't bind anywhere. They don't REALLY suck in the way the regular spanx do but they do smooth under lightweight summer skirts etc. I thought these a bit pricey because the ones i purchased at Target ended up ripping (not due to tension) but these were also a bit pricey since they are lighter weight than the other spanx.
