Extremely Comfortable, but Strange Fit...

I got these in a small (I am a US women's 4-6, and a size 27-28 in jeans) and while they are SUPER comfortable, the sizing is a little bit weird. They are pretty high cut on the leg (to be expected, as they ARE a string bikini), which is fine... but the booty area is where the problem lies. The BACK seems to be equally high cut, and rather narrow. I am tall with a long torso so if anything, my underwear usually sit LOWER than the average gal's, but these I had to pull up kind of high in order to avoid "diaper butt" (where the rear/crotch area sort of just bunches up at the bottom, like a diaper). Seems like these would fit better if there were a tad bit less material where the rear and crotch meet, and a tad more material in the back, width-wise. All this being said, I still give them 4 stars as they are REALLY COMFORTABLE (especially for a string bikini, s style I usually despise)- no digging in at the hips as I worried they might. Also, they dry faster than the Ex Officio boycut briefs, simply because there is less material that has to dry- so if you are washing in a sink at night and hanging to dry, you may want to keep that in mind. I wouldn't plan to wear these under anything tight (yoga pants) unless you don't mind showing off your diaper booty and VPL- but under looser shorts (hiking, soccer, basketball) or pants you'll be fine.
