I had to go up a size from my usual to account for hips, but once I did that they fit comfortably and are great. The elastic to hold your packer/STP in place is surprisingly helpful, but if you for some reason end up wearing these without one on, you'll have it rub against your skin and irritate it. I tried tucking it somewhere, but it always comes loose again. I still recommend these but go a size up if you're hippy like I am.
