I am a size 4 and not large. A large does not cover my backside without sliding up and causing a panytyline. The large is what I would consider small or maybe I don’t wear skintight underwear. Highly recommended by Wire Cutter is the reason for the purchase.
I love this panties as they are 94% cotton and feel so soft against the body. The lace on the edges almost provides enough sheerness to be considered seamless, but not quite. They launder nicely and should last quite awhile with proper care.
