If your looking for firm control, this is NOT it. If your looking for something light weight for summer that smooths the lumps and bumps, it is ideal. Very comfortable, and weigh next to nothing. I don't feel confidant in my clothes if I feel like I have any bulges, so I like to wear a high waisted panty even in the summer...sometimes that gets very uncomfortable in hot, humid weather. These are so light weight I feel they will be quite an improvement. I just ordered more!
