Pros:
I was SO excited to receive this package in the mail.  I tried them on right away and literally gasped when I looked in the mirror -- I had, as Phaedra from the Real Housewives of Atlanta would say, a legit "donkey booty".  I mean that in a good way, really.  They are very flattering pants with a great fit around the rear and thighs.

Cons:
-the waist band rolls:
I'm 5'0" and 135 lbs and carry weight in my tummy.  The high waist does conceal your mid-section in true Spanx form but only complaint about the waist is that the band rolls quite a bit (especially if you are constantly sitting down or getting in and out of the car, etc)

-the rear is REALLY sheer:
As someone mentioned in a previous post, the pants are pretty sheer in the back.  Your bottom is exposed if you so much as lean over.  Sorry, absolutely no bend-and-snapping in these pants, ladies!  I wouldn't dare wear them to yoga but I did think I could get away with a Pure Barre class.  I wouldn't wear them to this type of workout again, though. I was constantly adjusting the waist and was paranoid of flashing the other girls in class.

I'm really torn with these pants because I feel like they're very well designed and very functional for compression pants. Hopefully the next generation will address these 2 issues!

They're great for walks and runs, though. No complaints there.  I'd definitely continue wearing these as part of my regular wardrobe - they really do look and feel nice.
