I own a number of these, and I have to say that you are all getting it wrong. They aren't to be worn in lieu of other underwear. They're worn over your pants and serve as a convenient holder. I use them when doing remodeling to hold tools, nails, drywall, etc. They come in handy taking care of the 10-month old (just stick her and a few toys in 'em and then go about my day). "All you can eat" buffets? One of those a week and I'm set for food.
Wonderful product. And the bows, etc., just make me feel pretty.
