Great comfort!

These fit excellent - and the length helps keep them in place so they aren't riding up and they don't allow chafing. Very firm fit, so they keep me in place during heavy exercise or movement. I am short, I stand just under 5', and have a very short inseam of 28", these still fit excellent and have plenty of length left for someone with longer legs. I have large upper thighs, and they do not fit tight, they fit snug and so movement does not provide a distraction or work against me in a workout. They set at my natural waist and provide great tummy control, so I'm not as self conscious. There is a zipper pouch along the back waistline and it expands easily, so I can store items securely. The zipper is great quality, opens and closes smooth. I purchased these in a size large, my waist is 29, hips are 36. They fit well, so for the most part, I do feel the site measurements are accurate.  A lightweight fit, with a medium fabric and very firm stretch. These were comfortable enough to wear all day.
