Light, breathable, comfortable, these are everything I had hoped they'd be. I ordered an xxl and was quite worried about them being to small but as other reviews have said they do run a little big. They are an open weave type material everywhere except for the front triangle piece which is double li...ned and I wish the entire thing was that way because that part feels luxurious and is not see through like the rest of the short. I wear them for bed but they do not have the typical second layer where usual panties have for protection so they feel more like shorts than underwear. I have a larger muffin top area and typically things with a top band like these start to roll and scrunch up and want to ride up over my belly area but these have no rolling or creasing of the top band and they stay put. My only gripe is I purchased them when it was 30% off and I ordered an xxl because all the sizes above xxl were sold out, it worked out for me size wise but the next day they were 40% off and had all sizes in stock.
