I am a petite person, but have a rather shapely bottom. I find most panties bunch into something resembling a thong or simply do not provide ample coverage and leave an odd panty line. I usually wear thongs or no panties to counteract these things, but these panties are flattering and attractive in addition to comfortable. Further, they are a bit sexy with the added lace embellishment. They make be feel more confident when I wear them. I bought many pairs for the above reasons.
