"I bought these to wear under a gown that I could not wear stockings with. This was so comfortable and it held me in place! I was worried about going to the bathroom and what an ordeal it would be but it worked out great. You couldn't even tell I was wearing it under my gown. My stomach looked slim and there was no line. I am 155 pounds and 5'5" and I got a M/L which was perfect. I think it was true to the fit."
