My 9 year old daughter said they are more comfortable than her other school uniform pants she has worn. I was concerned when I opened the package because they looked very thin so I thought they might appear tight or binding to her. I think the spandex really nailed it. The only problem I have is how awful they look once dried. They're like a magnet that attracts every fluff in the laundry room. So I either have to wash them separately with my delicates or "fluff them up" by hand after each wash.
