You know how plus-sizing goes - you''re never quite sure what size you DO wear, because manufacturers have different patterns, and countries of origin tend to vary. In some dress slacks, I wear up to a 24-26.  I ordered these in a 24. I''m wondering if I should have traded for the 22s. The brief is VERY long and comes well upward of my waist (I''m also a tad bit short-waisted - a normal/long torso might be ok), so I feel like I can''t pull them up enough to sit properly in the crotch. I may order the smaller size, but because the price was so great for such a TRULY QUALITY product, I''m not returning them. I can always use extras. I will say this, though, whatever fabric this is, it  doesn''t dry very quickly. I''ve only had them a short period of time, so I cannot attest to its longevity or the effects of chlorine on them. They do have a panel in the front for tummy control, but no back panel (always worried about see-through backside).

Wish I had gotten several to go with my other suits.
