Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought the Heather Fashion Assorted pack of panties - real nice colors. I personally would find a bit more cheek coverage and a lower front profile more comfortable, but for this price, you can't beat it. HINTS FOR A GOOD FIT: These insights may or may not help you get a good fit but I'm throwing it out there anyway because I really appreciate it when other buyers give it to you straight - it can really help. I am coming up on 70 years of age, am 5'6" tall and weight 155 lbs. I have a symmetrically sagging senior body. Never had much of a behind - one of those flat models (thanks mom and dad). From pics I've seen on the net - yes, they actually show pics of different shaped butts which I personally think has a LOT to do with FIT. Anyway, I'd classify myself as having a 'square' shaped bottom which no doubt plays into what style and size I buy. I bought the same size - 9 - in these Fruit of the Loom panties as I've worn in Hanes cotton string bikinis for years - Hanes string being the only panties I ever found that fit nicely in the back under my cheeks and stayed put - and the semi-wide elastic in front was low and fit comfortably right over a surgery scar that's indented with time and under the old lady sagging belly. According to this FotL PANTY size chart, I should be wearing a size 7 (12-14 clothing, 40"-41" hips) as my hips measure 40.5" at the widest part. I wear women's jeans in a size 12 and mens jeans in a size 34" x 32" - all fit comfortably roomy - no cutting into my thighs, butt cheeks or ladies parts and they look fine. SO - my panty size does not match my jeans size - in fact, according to the panty size chart, my USA PANTS size should be 16-18 which would fall right off me. I guess what I'm saying is - if the size you buy aren't comfortable, no matter what the size charts say - KEEP TRYING - size up or down until you find a brand and size that actually fits. Yes, it's expensive and time consuming, BUTT :-) in THE END, you'll be happy you did. No pulling down bottoms that inch up over your cheeks or creep up into your crack and give you a thong strangle. THEN once you find panties you are truly comfortable in BUY TONS and store them for future use. It's WAY more annoying and expensive to have to find good fitting panties than having to pick out a new lipstick color when they discontinue your fav.
