I bought these for a trip overseas and have ended up wearing them for every day because they are so comfortable. These panties do not move around, they fit perfectly all day. No constricting waist-band or leg bands, really great.

Love these! I bought a pair for dayhikes/backpacking and have now become a staple in my underwear drawer for everyday wear. Fit great, feel great, and have yet to get a wedgie while hiking, cycling or in my tight jeans.

A Good Product

Bottom Line:

These undies are good for physical activities like exercising or sports. They were pretty true to fit in the small/medium IF you wear a small like I do. I guess the small/medium is more like a slightly roomy small. Washing is like washing any active wear, so if you use a liquid softener remember to put them in a different load. This is not a problem for me, because I own a lot of things that don't go in fabric softener. They are comfortable, but a little high cut on the sides. Overall, a good product. I wouldn't wear them for regular activities now, but maybe on a very hot day when you were planning on spending the day outside they would be more comfortable than regular panties.

I love these so much! I have two pairs and don't imagine that I won't get some more the next time I stop into EMS or do a little online shopping. The only issue I have had is that thanks to bizarre styles some of my pants don't cover all of them and they stick out a bit, but I really think my issue there is with the pants because I don't feel that the underwear is coming up too high. Goes great with all my other pants and none of those are too high in the waist. These are comfortable, soft, and I am a fan of the color choices.

I wear the underwear everyday...with my casual, athletic clothing, as well as my dressier, work wardwrobe. I wear them hiking and to workout and always feel dry.

I do find that they rip on the sides where you pull them up.

 
Best fitting underwear ever

Wore these skiing all day for two days in a row. My bottom stayed nice and dry, thanks to these. They fit very well (I am a size small in victoria's secret and a medium in most other underwears, and I bought the S/M of these) and don't ride up or restrict movement at all. If they were cheaper, I'd buy 10 more pair!

 
"Doesn't absorb enough sweat"
By Yoga GirlVerified Reviewer from New York City on 1/6/2008
Waist:
Feels true to size
Pros:
Comfortable, Good Fit, Great fit, Stay In Place
Cons:
Not absorbent enough
Best Uses:

Describe Yourself:
Athletic, Comfort-oriented, Practical
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I do an intense amount of physical activity daily--yoga for at least an hour a day, cycling--I teach yoga and fitness. The underwear have a superb fit and I would buy it again and I will buy more pairs--however, they are not as sweat absorbent as I would like or need. I am drenched in sweat when I finish my workouts and although the underwear wick away moisture, they still feel heavy and damp. I'm disappointed with that aspect since I have to stay dry and teach--but the fit is superb!

I'm glad other reviews mentioned that the panties run a little small - I wear a 6 and a medium/large is definitely the right size, small/medium would be too small. These are comfortable and a nice addition to my wardrobe.

good travelling wear

Sizing:
Feels true to size
Pros:
Attractive Design, Durable, Good Fit
Best Uses:
Casual Wear, Travel
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I'm very happy with these, despite the price. I thought they were overpriced, but I have some similar cheap ones from a discount department store that are very thin. I'm sure the EMS ones will last much longer and won't tear easily.
These dry fast so they're great if you're willing to handwash some things while on vacation.
I gave these a five while the boyshort version got a four. These don't seem to have the problem with "creeping up" that the boyshorts sometimes do.
Would buy again.

I bought a pair in a store. Because of the comfortable fit, and wicking performance I bought 5 more pair online. I like my underwear to fit in such a way that I am not aware of them; no riding up, or rolling waist band. These fit very well. They wick and dry quickly, I never feel clammy.

Although they run a little small (I wear a size 6/8 and purchased small), they stay in place, and hug your body nicely. I wore for a recent cross country ski day and they were very comfy

while I will use the 3 pair that I purchased, they are my "backup" pair, because they ride up in places you don't really want them riding. by the time I discovered that, it was of course too late to return them.

Describe Yourself:
Adventurous, Comfort-oriented, Feminine, Smart

Walked and walked through several airports and walked and kayaked over several islands and walked and hiked with kids all over a large cruise ship and through the NASA space center for a total of 8 days, and these could have been my only pair of underwear--they were so comfortable. They stayed put, kept the moisture away from my skin, didn't itch, and I forgot they were there! That's a real feat.

I've never bought anything like this before but my husband and I are training for a triathalon in the summer and I wanted something comfortable that would wick away moisture. I've been using them for a few weeks now and actually bought half a dozen more in the store this weekend. I'm hooked!

 
Wicking behavior that may not be desired

Sizing:

Pros:
Good Fit, Soft
Cons:
Wicking
Best Uses:
Exercise, Travel

I wore these to a boxing conditioning session in which i sweat very much. The moisture was wicked from the underwear to the crotch of my exercise pants making it looked as though i peed in my pants. The fit is great, but that is pretty gross.

Eastern Mountain Sports Response:Sounds as though they are certainly wicking. Our Guarantee
