Old elastic style was better. . .
I purchased 15+ pairs around 2020/2021 and absolutely loved them -- they were my absolute favorite underwear and I had tried so many brands at the time. They had a really nice lay flat elastic at the legs that kept the underwear just taught enough to prevent ride ups. Unfortunately, it seems they changed the elastic and it's covered by material. It looks nice but does not perform even close to the original. Not to mention they almost gaped around my bum a bit. Really disappointing and now I'm back to the drawing board.
