These did not seem like anything special, just really snug-fitting underwear. They didn't provide much tummy control at all. The fit was nice and comfortable, but I was looking for something that would actually smooth. The top of the waistband rolled the slightest bit. I read online that might mean I needed to go up one size, but that would make the tummy control even less dramatic than it already was.

Also, I don't understand why they have the colored stripe at the top. If you're wearing a nude color it's usually because you want it to blend with your skin tone and not show through clothes, and if you're wearing the black that often means you're wearing something dark and don't want the undergarments noticed if they peek out a bit from under clothes. These are pretty high rise and having a different color stripe sticking out above the waistline of your pants/skirts makes no sense. If you wear a white shirt and the waistband of the nude peeks out you can see the brown stripe right through the white shirt!

I returned these and will probably try some of the more expensive brands. Should have known the price was too good to be true.
