I purchased these for an upcoming island trip. At my size, showing off 'skin' has not been making my to-do list lately! I am 5'2 and 218lbs. (bigger around the middle than anywhere else). I have trouble finding the 'right' size because my legs are somewhat on the smaller side when compared to my 'middle' and 'rear' areas. If I'm not careful in choosing a size, the leggings hang like loose puddles on my lower legs. So, after a good bit of thought - I purchased the XL and kept my fingers crossed. When they arrived, my first impression was the feel of the spandex, (LOVE IT!) These are the real deal. Sleek, slick and somewhat shiny. My favorite! As a larger woman, I HATE leggings that stick to my shirts! (Cotton blends and 'brushed soft' leggings are never a good choice for me!). These were perfect! The stitching seems to be spot on as well, nicely done - quality job. When I tried them on I was a bit fearful and yes, I could hear the dreaded stitch popping sound as I eased them over my massive middle/rear section. Thankfully they have a good bit of stretch and it was over almost as soon as it started. Once I got them on I was quite impressed. They felt great! Not too tight, just like a second skin - the way you want leggings to feel. Of course I am a short person and they are made for average height ladies so I do have a bit of extra material at the ankle. They also have a nifty little hidden pocket on the waistband for your keys, change, etc. When I took them off I inspected them for damage to the waistband stitches and thankfully I couldn't see any problems. I have not yet went swimming in them, but will update after my trip with photos.
