don't want them frizzy or curly? increase the size. it works.

TL;DR - Order one size up from size chart for a stunning, pill-free, comfortable pair of lingerie. The feedback here is mixed. I ordered a pair to see how I would like them and I ordered a size up (size 8) because I can't stand tight underwear. I really liked this underwear! They're completely smooth under clothes, I don't feel uncomfortable wearing them around the house, and they don't bunch or feel weird under clothes. All is well! However, at the end of the day I noticed that they were stretching a bit. Sometimes I noticed that the legs would rise a little, although they never rolled and never contracted. Somehow it was uncomfortable. It was enough for a relaxed feeling about it, which made me wonder if I shouldn't have just ordered my size (7, according to the size chart). I decided to order a few more pairs and this time I ordered all 7. When they arrived I tried on a pair, noticed they were significantly smaller and thought it would help keep my legs from getting too tall to become. I cut off all the labels, washed them and then attached some new, smaller ones. I'm not happy with how they fit. Basically, if I sit too much or move around, my legs pull in quite a bit. Legs lift with normal walking (much more than a size 8). I thought a tighter leg would have the opposite effect. They also seem to cover a lot less, which is also impractical for me. I don't like feeling the panties in the middle of my buttocks. The size 8 leg opening took a much more natural position on my body. I wish I could just stick with the sizes in this case. I'll probably buy more than one size 8 if I can.
