Plus-size ladies rejoiced, with one saying, "I am plus size so I need a little control in the tummy area…They are so flattering! So if you're plus size like me these won’t disappoint!" And for those with an apple shape, one woman raved, "I’m 245 pounds and 5’4. I am apple shaped with PCOS. These are so incredibly flattering." Even customers with different body shapes had positive things to say, like this one who shared, "I'm 5'4", 110 pounds. The leggings are a little roomy in the waist. The fabric would help with giggle, if you have any...I love the side pockets and they do not add thickness to your hips."
