For sizing purposes, I have a muscular build and am 5'10"/165 lbs/size 8 with a slight mom tummy. I think they run a little small considering they're meant to accommodate sizes 2-12, and they definitely aren't comfortable, both because they need a fair bit of adjusting throughout the day (particularly in the thong area) and the fabric is quite scratchy. Those issues probably wouldn't be so prevalent on a smaller person, though I'll say they technically do fit in the respect that they don't roll at the waist, don't show panty lines, and didn't leave indentations on my skin after wearing them for 10 hours. So, the positive is that they are exceptionally functional, offer the perfect amount of compression (smoothing under thin fabrics but not too squeezy), and look pretty.
It appears Hanky Panky changed material of the retro high waist thing. I have used these for years but this order has a stiff, uncomfortable material. Also was sent navy blue instead of black.

Not The Same
PostedMay 15, 2022
I just purchased 6 pairs and they are terrible quality. The fabric is cheap, rough and they run very small. I’ve worn these for years and am very disappointed that these have changed for the worse.
These are not the same as the ones I bought a year or two ago. They are not stretchy, have no give hardly and are small! I’m a 4/6 and these are tight on me. I would return but I’ve already washed them. Very disappointed. I would not recommend these at all.
