The moment I tried these bad boys on I knew I was in love. The elastic at the top, if it’s even that? Idk it’s magically firm but comfortable without digging into my large hips or having the bottom of the short cut across my bum cheek so you can see what I’m wearing underneath anything. These shorts lay flate, don’t ride up or roll down, no wedgies, and they don’t cut into you at every curve. So so pleased! I’ve also ordered the other brief undies and thong which are all very comfy on me with my medium waist and extra lrg hind end. Thanks Lisa for making undies that fit a regular mom bod! I’ll be back for more! Oh, lest I forget, all items have laundered SO well, too! No shrinkage or goofy issues with drying. Dare I saw they feel even softer after a wash or two; the quality is really on point!
