Smooths the curves, but legs roll up
These are very nice looking & Spanx is well-known for quality. This garment begins slightly above the waist & smooths without seams down past the joint to smooth out any "muffin" below the panty line. I bought the size M which was a good fit not too tight anywhere. However, a longer leg style would have worked better on me because the end of each leg defies the gripper strip & will roll up.
Great for bicycle commuting!
These undies are very thin without being sheer. They have holes and breathe, they have legs that prevent chafing, but at the same time, they're incredibly thin fabric, so they don't make lines like traditional bicycling shorts would under a skirt or a dress. As a commuter, I'm not out to set speed records, but to ride to work, to shop and back home while I wear my normal clothing. These shorts really fill that bill.
Light Control
I wanted a light control pair of spanx these worked perfect! They don't feel like they are cutting your skin.
