They look absorbent. Regarding the comfort I wait to wear them but the size leaves me puzzled... I listened to the advice based on the reviews and I did well! I'm wearing 38/40. I ordered XL. On the 4 panties, 1 size a little big and the other 3 are tighter. They are tight at the thighs not at the waist .... But overall I am satisfied, the price is unbeatable!! They're pretty!
