The waist elastic is terrible. Much smaller than the exact same style I got of this brand a couple years ago. This elastic is much smaller and doesn't stretch well. The leg elastic is fine--it's similar to the elastic on the older style of this underwear, but they really failed with waist elastic. I hate that I spent money on something that is this uncomfortable to wear. I hope Living Crafts goes back to the old style, because I won't be buying any of their underwear again unless they do.
