These work fine for my purpose (a thigh-chafe reducer under sundresses/dresses/skirts). I lost a lot of weight and have some loose inner thigh skin--even though I work out and have good thigh muscles otherwise). So, when I wear skirts and dresses, it's nice to have a thigh slimmer option.

This thigh slimmer has a slightly rough texture to the fabric. Like triple thickness pantyhose fabric with some roughness. The thigh is not overly binding (but I'm not a pear-shape, I'm more avocado/appley with belly fat being an issue). The waist is comfortable. Ladies with very large posteriors may want to skip this, as I found that it rode a little low in the back and I don't have a round butt. I carry weight in the front and have hips, but not big thighs. This offers NO butt lift. None. If you like the design to lift up the backside, this is not for you. It will flatten you a bit back there.

The crotch area is not "cottonized". As I said, it's like triple-thick pantyhose. Thicker than Spanx. There is seaming, so if your ladybits are sensitive to seams, be careful with this style.

I have a 35-36 I got an XXL, cause no 3xl is available. Most of my shapewear at this waist size is XXL or XXXL (if I want it looser). I found these snug. Not asphyxiation snug, but snug. I'd say "comfortably snug". They have very little belly control, but some. There is some smoothing. Again, this is LIGHT CONTROL, so don't expect more than that.

Their sizing guide seems to be okay if you like a comfortable fit. If you want really snug, go one size, even two sizes down. According to their guide, I should get XXXL, and the XXL fits okay. Seems to run a bit large.

I got these in white, as I have some white-background floral sundresses for which I wanted a white thigh slimmer. This will work okay.
