I like these leggings and I think the material is good quality (thick, dark black, not see through, enough stretch but not slinky material), however the "low rise" is pretty much hoochie rise. You are constantly pulling them up in the back and feeling a breeze on your butt. That's why I give it 3 stars instead of 5. Maybe if you have a completely flat, pancake-shaped bottom these would work for you.
