These are quality leggings (I have two pair, about to have three). I haven't had them for long, but I've worn them several times all day long under various circumstances--so far so good. I put them on and forget about them. The product description mentioned a draw string closure. No such thing. It is just a regular pair of (quality) leggings that are pulled on. No need to fuss with anything else. They are real comfortable, not binding anywhere, and they stay up. I am not pulling them up constantly, or making any adjustments. Generous sizing. Go with your size if you dont want too much compression, or try a size smaller if you want more compression. These stretch for days :) I am ordering a size smaller to see how much they differ. I will report back when I receive those.(I did this, my update/edit is below) A little about my body: I am 5'10, 300 lbs, and have a belly "apron"- lots of loose skin that makes sizing awkward. I have an hourglass (leaning pear shape)- for the most part my body is in balance --save the for the large flappy skin hanging at my belly. I will include pics of these on me. Because of this belly, no matter my size, I use compression to hold that in place. It is less to do about look, and more to do about feel. The loose flapping skin apron is uncomfortable to walk around with if I am wearing a loose pair of shorts or pants. Also makes it more likely that my shorts or pants will fall off. So I go for compression. Looks better, feels better. I say all this because I had to really consider which size to select based on their size chart. I wear about a 2x, and I think I am in size 22, maybe closer to 20. I went with a 2X which correlates with a size 20, because I remember most of the leggings I have purchased over my life have fit a little large. This remains true here. The size 20/2xl in these leggings provide a fair amount of compression and the overall fit feels great. They have a lot of additional stretch without feeling loose or too big. However, as mentioned earlier, I am ordering a 1X to see how much they differ. These fit a little looser that what I am used to. But they do fit well and are comfy! *******EDIT*****: I purchased the 1XL (blue) and they fit as comfortably as the 2XL (gray) but clearly with a more snug fit, yet doesn't bite in, roll, or smash down my butt too much (but smashes down my belly nicely), AlSO, the color doesn't stretch away to nothing (some colored leggings if they have a white, or light colored interior, that color will come through when the leggings are stretched, which looks awful. These dont do that, and for that I am doubly impressed). I like either. I am now going to buy the purple, and I decided to go with that in the 1XL again. For me the added compression just makes me feel even better. But both sizes work, and I am super pleased with this style from Just My Size. There are pics of the gray pants and the blue pants included here, but they look similar in the pics and may be hard to tell which is which. High rise, waist stays up, leg length hits me about mid calf. Leg stays in place too. 88% Polyester, 12% Spandex I wash my leggings in cool or cold water. Directions say to wash in cold water. Anything with spandex should not be washed in hot water, or dried on hot. Maybe medium setting at most. Heat kills spandex over time. These will not shrink in wash. NO PILLING so far!
