I'm picky about leggings, and I love these.  The material is soft and lovely, just the right amount of opacity (I can see underwear through them, but not my tan skin color through these white leggings), and the waistband isn't punishing (i.e. no red marks or muffintops).  The reason I give them only 4 stars is that they are too long (I'm 5'6" and 128 pounds).  But even still, I love wearing them.
