I received these in a nice, timely fashion, but the material felt odd. Despite this, I decided to give them a try, and ended up with runs in both legs (and a hole!) after the first wear. The best description I can provide is the way old hose become rigid and almost rotten--this is the product. This is not Spanx quality, and there is no return policy for obvious reasons. Save yourself the trouble and buy these from the company itself. This was not worth the price or embarrassment of shoddy hose at work.
