Pros: These spanx shorts are the only ones I've found (I've been looking for months for my upcoming wedding) that meet my requirements. 1) They hit at the natural waist so the top doesn't roll down if you move around. 2) The legs are long enough and pressure distributed so they don't roll up even over the course of 16 hours (sitting, standing, dancing, running, etc.). 1) They are lightweight compression so while I have no size reduction (I measured) my panty lines are obliterated and my tummy smoothed out. 4) I did not sweat in them since they are breathable and they successfully prevented thigh rub. Cons: The only issue is their durability. I have purchased two pairs of these from Nordstrom. Both pairs have lasted two days of wear before they begin to disintegrate. The stitching that folds the leg panels begins to unravel from the inside (when it is completely undone the shorts go past the knee and are more like pantyhose). After 4 wears the material begins to get runs which leads to holes along the center/crotch seams. You can still wear the shorts and they still cover your legs and smooth you out, but you have holes in the bum....which isn't great. Upshot: If you want a pair of light and comfy shorts for an event these are great. If you are looking for something you can wear again and again, look elsewhere.

Softest Support

Prossoft, comfortable, no lines
As an owner of several pairs of spanx I can tell you these are probably the most comfortable support panties I own! They are very soft in the leg and waist area while still not rolling very much. The only rolling I experienced was on the waist and it wasn't that bad I just adjusted a few times. The reason I gave 4 stars and not 5 is because these aren't as strong shaping as some so I would only purchase these if you're looking for medium support.
