When I initially put them on I thought they were too tight but after a couple of wears they are now the perfect fit. The only negative is that I think the waist comes up too high if you are someone that is short like me. I'm 160 cm. The waist goes close to just under my boobs and sometimes is a little bit uncomfortable because it keeps rolling down. Initially when they were really tight it was cutting into me but now it's okay and I'm considering ordering a couple more pairs.
