I don't understand the high ratings on these. I HATED them. There is NOT elastic at the waist and leg openings as described; these are just stretchy fabric all over. The waist rolls down. The legs ride up (plus they are high cut legs to begin with, which I didn't realize). And eventually you are alm...ost wearing a thong. I made the unfortunate mistake of wearing them for a day of air travel as well as packing these untested underwear. The next morning I was purchasing new underwear in another store, changing in the restroom of my breakfast restaurant, and tossing them in the garbage. At least I purchased them half off, so I wasted less money than I could have. I didn't notice that the description lists elasticized waist and leg openings until after the Great Underwear Debacle. Maybe they sent me the wrong ones. Maybe they consider stretchy fabric to be "elasticized". If I did receive the correct item, I clearly have different requirements for 5 star underwear than most of the other reviewers.
