I was looking for underwear that I could wear under my leotard for dance class that were cut high enough not to stick out at the bottom and also thin enough not to show through, but that also wouldn't either fall down or ride up like most underwear seem to. I tried a few different brands/styles, and these were by far the most comfortable. And I'm pretty picky - this is only the third style of underwear I've found in about 5 years that I actually like (and I'm only 22, so that's basically my entire adult life...). I just got them in the mail today, but as soon as I tried them on, I came right back on here to buy a few more pairs.

They also look nice, and unlike either of the other brands of underwear I wear, these don't have any cartoon characters on them, which could be useful just in case anyone besides my mom or my sister ever sees them. They're neither childish nor granny-ish, which is hard to find in anything that's not a thong (or just horribly uncomfortable). Plus the 'ballet pink' even matches my dance tights :)

I just love these panties. For women of a certain age that did not grow up with thongs, but don't want granny panties either, these are just perfect. They cling where they should but don't bind. They are becoming without looking like a stripper, and they feel wonderful! Try them and see if you agree.

The look is fantastic and sexy and the fit just GREAT no creeping up your butt even on full round butts also true to size if not slightly generous and all those colors, yes, I have them all. That said, they are Hot Hot Hot in the summer. The crotch is cotton but the rest is not so you do feel sweaty after a short time if you work outside in hot climates. Too bad they can't make them in all cotton, they fit similar to the all cotton "Delicates" brand that Penny's discontinued, I'm still crying over that! These are still the best I've found for comfortable fit and you can find them on sale for 6 or 7 dollars a pair. I love them but I'm still looking for the cotton version of these, hope Vanity Fair is listening! Oh and you'll love this................

BEST PART:Here is the best thing about these, The fit is so great you can wear it as a bikini swim suit bottom, REALLY! I can't find a descent fitting bikini bottom anywhere so I wear these in Black or a color and just buy inexpensive 5 or 6 dollar triangle bikini tops on ebay to match, PERFECT! What a great bikini swimsuit alternative and a cheap one at that. No more bad fitting bikini crisis! Nobody will know you are walking around in public in your underwear, kind of fun too! Why can't anyone make a swimsuit that fits like this? Then again they would charge you 90.00 for the same thing while these work just fine, try it!

Like all Vanity Fair panties, these are another soft and sleek panty which provides a bit more sexiness due to its low rise and double side straps. These panties fit perfectly, stay where you put them, and the sides straps do not dig into one's side in the least bit. They breath well, provide full coverage, and do not bind or pinch. The wide gusset ensures complete support and coverage for males. Both my wife and I love them. Another great panty from Vanity Fair.

I bought this style about 6 years ago and they still look like new. Best panties I've ever owned and the only ones that have pasted the test of time and my "toss 'em in with everything" laundering habits. No separating colors/white here. Even the red color never bled onto my whites. Generally I trash underwear after a couple years because they just don't hold up to my rugged life style and my forgetting not to put velco items into the wash with delicates. Fit great, feel wonderful and look sexy. You can wear the strings high up on your legs and that makes your legs look yards longer. Toss in the washer and dryer and they are simply perfect. I don't think you could damage these even if you tried. Whatever materials were used and however they were constructed they are remarkably durable.

I wear a size 8 in every other panty I have ordered, but these seem a bit large. Could have gotten by with a 7. Other than that, a great panty! comfortable with plenty of stretch in the front that a man needs.It has now been 2 months since this original review in December and I have ordered and received this panty in size 7 and it fits perfectly! Liked it so much I have ordered every color I could find!

I discovered these a couple years ago at a department store. I have purchased them several times, slowly phasing out all my uncomfortable panties... It is easy to feel spoiled wearing these, since they are comfortable and pretty, also they are reasonably priced. Not only do these feel great on, as several reviews attest, but they also look good (new, really) after many machine washings. I air dry mine, which I think keeps them nicer, as well. Since I know the colors and the size I want, I really love being able to have them shipped to my front door, via Amazon!

These are the best pair of panties I have ever purchased! Bought five more pair since!

I do like these panties. Like others have said, they cover nicely without looking granny-ish. I can't say they never ride up at all, but when you are nicely endowed in that area it's hard to find panties that don't. My problem with these is the price, ten dollars for one pair? I found some at w-mart under the vassarette brand that are exactly the same but with more color options for only four dollars each. I don't see how they could hold up differently but if they do, I will edit this review.

These are comfy and don't ride up. So far so good for winter, but I wish they'd make them in cotton too for warmer months...
