This item is described as "full coverage" and is also pictured as having near full coverage, however as soon as I pulled it from the package I knew there was a problem. The back was almost the exact same size as the front! When I tried it on, sure enough, it was almost a thong.

Also, the sizing is not as described. I wear a size 6 pant, have a waist measurement of 28" and a hip measurement of 39" which puts me solidly in the "medium" size according to the size chart. However, this item was much too small and cut into my hips giving me muffin top.

I returned this item for something else in a larger size.
