"First of all, I have gained weight in my tummy and thighs. I thought these might work in large. Unfortunately, they did not. I never tried them out. The material felt too thick for Florida summers. The waist style didn’t work at all. The legs cut into my thighs. Yet, I cut see how they could work on a slimmer, more muscular body. Also, I liked the padding, at least when I tried them on."
