I've work 2Xist regular bikini type shorts for several years but have found it necessary to switch for a bit more support. The trunk style was suggested by a friend. Terrific, I thought! My mistake was to purchase the above 2 pair and only after I received and wore the 1st pair realized that they were 100% cotton. At the end of the first day, it was like the hopeless cause. After a first washing, no change. Great fabric except for the fact that the leg openings roll up and end up completely out-of-shape and therefore loose some of the support abilities that is required (at 71 years of age).

. . . So I have ordered another 2 Xist with 11% spandex which I hope will help as suggested it would. I hope this will work. If not, I'm out a significant amount of money. Here's hoping this second set will perform the way I hope. If not, it will be change of brand time!

As I said earlier, I really like the brand and want to continue using it!  FTD
