I love the pockets. I love the patterns and the colors are beautiful. (Lily is my favorite and it is gorgeous!) However, I did some forward bends to stretch my thighs after a Zumba workout and they ripped. I bought multiple pairs and I didn't learn the first time. Also, things like sliding in and out of my car seat of my SUV has caused these poor things to rip. I had to go through another company because these are not functional. Also, they don't have anything to help control my mommy tummy. I ordered true to size based on reviews and they were a little tighter. I think because of the elastic that is mentioned so often. But the pockets! What a shame it didn't work out.
