Barbra Lingerie Women's High-Waist Light Tummy Control Girdle Panties

Since the manufacturer of my last favorite panties stopped making them, I have been searching for something I loved. I finally found them! It’s been many, many years of buying ones that were only just adequate. These have a light tummy control, legs that don’t cut into your upper leg and the waist stays up! They are soft and you barely feel they are there. I would highly recommend these high quality, well made panty! I just ordered more. My only regret is I can’t get a package that is just white and neutral!

Wow, really impressed with these. I was 50/50 on whether I’d have to return them or not, given that the reviews were all over the map. Many people said the sizing was way off, but I ordered my usual size, and they fit perfectly! A lot of people also said they don’t offer much compression/control, but I am actually really impressed with how they hold me in and smooth things out. Honestly these are a minor miracle for me, because they’re giving me the same amount of control as other more intense foundation garments I’ve tried, only these are WAY more comfortable. I actually feel like I could wear these on a daily basis and not just suffer through them for a special occasion. They also solve a particular issue I’ve had with foundation garments, which is that my problem area is very very low on my stomach. I’ve had a pregnancy with a very large baby and a c-section, so my lower stomach, down by my pubic bone, is very loose and floppy and makes an unsightly roll when I wear pants with a shirt tucked in, or a tight fitting dress/skirt. Many garments I’ve tried don’t have compression all the way down that low, so I end up with extreme compression up at my natural waist where I don’t need it, and none/not enough down low where I do. These are perfect in that the compression goes all the way down. I also was worried they’d be too tight around my thighs, but they’re not. They’re very comfortable. They are well sewn and the fabric is substantial and smooth. My only complaint is I wish I could buy a six pack of just black. The other colors are a little grandmotherly for me when combined with the silhouette of these things. Other than that minor gripe, A++++ item!!

I WOULD HAVE GIVEN THESE 5 STARS HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE "DARK COLORS BLEEDING OUT" THROUGH SO BADLY, YOU WILL RUIN YOUR LAUNDRY IF YOU WASH THEM WITH YOUR CLOTHING, WASH SEPARATE OR BY HAND. THEY ARE COMFORTABLE AND PRETTY, I'M 168 LBS. AND 2X FIT ME PERFECT, SO THEY SEEM TO RUN SMALL BECAUSE IN OTHER BRANDS I'M (XL), YOU DECIDE. THEY ARE VERY PRETTY AND WELL MADE, IF NOT FOR THE TAG ON THE BOW, WHICH IS QUITE ANNOYING TO REMOVE WITHOUT TEARING THE BOW IN THE FRONT, THEY PLACED THE TAG IN THE WRONG PLACE, OTHER THAN THAT AND THE DARK COLORS BLEEDING OUT, THEY WOULD BE PERFECT.

I was going to wait and write a review after I had worn the panties for a full day but I'm just so excited. I used to wear a 3X or 4X underwear in my favorite brand but they stopped making the larger sizes several years ago. I was devastated as I have worn only this brand for 20 or 30 years. I tried some other brands with the same design but I could never get them past my knees. I was using different underwear but the crotch was not large enough and they barely came up to my belly button. When I tried on this brand I was amazed at how wonderfully they fit. I did pick the 5X because I was concerned after having other brands fall so short. They are so amazing that I had to write this review immediately. They are more than wide enough in the crotch, the leg is a perfect size. Not too small and not too large. The underwear comes up over my belly button to my natural waist. And if anything might actually go a little bit higher. So I feel more than comfortable bending over and stretching and knowing they are not going to slip or roll down. They appear to be extremely well made. I will probably be ordering a couple more packs before the end of the day.

It's my opinion and experience the Barbra brand of these panties is the best fit and quality out there. The price is exceptional too. These are long-lasting, made of quality materials and sewn well and are pattern cut for the plus sized woman's real proportions, unlike some other panties with overly large leg holes. These are very high quality and are also machine washable for years.

I wear a 3X and was excited to get these. The pro's are the ones that fit are good and definitely help hold the belly in. The colors are very nice. The con's are so far there are two in the pack that should be labeled a size XL. They are not close to being plus size. Again fabric is shiny, the detail is great, nylon with a polyester crotch. The 3X true to size fits and works well. Since i have only managed to wear 1 out of 3 right now due to sizing I have put 3 stars.

Very comfortable and nice quality.

The best panties ever just wish they had more of the lighter color also I did have to size up
