These are pricey and delicate. They take a few washings to break in properly (a little stiff and scratchy at first), and don't do well in a heavy duty washing machine. They run enormously large. Nonetheless, they are extremely comfortable, especially in hot weather. The elastics are covered preventing heat rashes. The openwork pattern is extra breathable. These are the ideal summertime panty under dresses and skirts. However, I normally wear a size nine, XL or 2XL. The size XL panties are so big that they come up to my bra, even after a trip through a hot dryer, and these do not stand up well to hot dryers. Order down at least one size. The size L is ample for me. Emmy from Lexington, NY

Warning - these are full-on Granny panties - if that isn't what you are looking for don't buy them. For everyone else, welcome home. These are beautifully made and have full bottom coverage. The fabric is a very fine weight pointelle which breathes wonderfully and doesn't bunch or bag. The waist and legs are tube sewn elastic which holds without binding or cutting. I measure a Size 5 in USA underwear but have been buying Size 6 in other brands but these are true to the measurement guide and there is no need to size up. RH from Colorado

I have very sensitive skin and ordered these to help with some latex related irritation. The fabric was extremely itchy to me - I had to take them off after about 15 minutes and they left patterns on my skin. They also run big. I normally wear a larger M or smaller L in panties, and bought the M. They were big enough that they came up over my waist and fit like boy shorts at the bottom. Leigh from Washington, DC

As always with Calida, the fabric is lovely. However, in this case, I expected a somewhat low ride rise, but what I got was very, very high rise. Susan from Topanga, CA

The panty is very comfortable and becoming, and the open cotton knit is very breathable for summer. However, the waistband is above my navel, not well below as pictured. Very attractive in a retro way. Susannah from upstate NY

I love the softness and easy wear of these panties. Wonderful to sleep in. They do run large and stretch some after wearing, but return to normal size after washing. Louweezie from VERO BEACH

The underwear is comfortable and I'm grateful for the latex free as I'm allergic to latex. However, it would be nice to have them in hipster style as opposed to the high brief style.

Calida Response: Being that this style has been on the Calida line since 1941 and has been tried and true, I’m sure this brief will remain the same for the next 70 years. But, as we do appreciate our customers feedback, I will be passing this along to our design team. Mary from Windham, New Hampshire US

I always order large underwear due to a bubble-butt but these ran large. Advise would be to order a size down from what you normally order.

Calida Response: I agree with your comment, when in doubt or between a size, size down one size. Becky from Fremont, Ohio
