I read the reviews, I saw the material, I knew what I was getting into. But it was cute...which is what I think the sellers are banking on.The material is thin, like wear a flesh-coloured seamless thong thin, and not at all squat-proof. You can see the tag in the pic I took so you be the judge. And beware of camel toe. I bought a pair of sports shorts to wear with it for modesty sake but this one is all about the aesthetics and not about functionality. I'll probably get a few good wears out of it but I'm not expecting much.I have a 30" waist and 43" hip. I bought the medium and the fit was exact. Any bigger on the thighs and it would be too tight. It's not too low at the back but I feel like I can't go hard in the gym in these in case I bust a seam.But it is pretty cute tho.
