These are the best underwear I've been able to find. I'm 5'9", 190 lbs. I've found the hipster style fit best. The waistband rides above the fat roll above my hoohaw, and below my bellybutton. And it stays there. The leg holes fit well. I have a flat butt so the french cut is out. I don't like briefs because, well, they're granny panties and the waistband is riding either on my bellybutton or above. The waistband on the bikini ends up rolling under the lower fat roll, which is uncomfortable and not attractive. I do wish that I could order all black underwear. I hate the one white one. I have nothing white. So that gets thrown into the wash with the others and the next thing you know it's that ugly grey.
