Tomima's Tip "Per Maidenform, this boyshort lies completely flat, eliminating any panty lines."
This Maidenform No Show Low Rise Boyshort Panties is part of the Maidenform Hip Fit collection.
They are very comfortable, and OK if worn under pantyhose. Otherwise they are a little unreliable as they tend to creep down more than brands containing a little lycra.
Maidenform Response: This is considered a cheeky boyshort. I am not sure when you mention that it creeps down, what you refer to, as it is more likely to creep up depending on the figure type.

I was enthusiastic to try these with such great reviews, but I was disappointed. Maybe I bought them too big, but they ride up all day long. I can't get them to stay in place. I bought 2 pair and I don't think I'll wear either.
HerRoom Response: Yes, you have it right. Many women buy larger sizes thinking it will prevent ride-up. Actually, the opposite is true. Panties are designed to have some stretch to stay in place. Without it, the panty will ride up and be uncomfortable.

These are fantastic. No gapping or drooping in the fabric. Will buy 10 more.

I'm a bit on the heavy side (about 145 and 5'2") and apple shaped. Maidenform always seems to fit me correctly and very comfortably. These are sexy and comfortable at the same time. I can't say the same for most others. It's usually one or the other. I recommend these and the Maidenform brand for being both nice to look at and practical. As the reviewer below me stated, they are short in the back but I believe that is how they are designed to be and was what I was looking for when I purchased them. They are quite flattering. I have not had the same ride-up issues.

I like the feel of these, but are short in the back (shorter than I expected) and they do ride up a good bit. I don't know if they run small, or if that is just the way they are cut? I can deal with them, but won't buy again.
HerRoom Response: Your symptoms suggest you should size up.

I too experienced the poor quality relative to the elastic strands sticking out on the front/back seems after washing in a gentle cycle. This is indeed a disappointment as the cut and fit of this panty otherwise exceeded my expectations.
