I ordered from an online catalog from Undergear. The illustration showed the underwear band riding above the hip bone. It had the same catalog number of underwear I have and like, altho I knew it was different in that it had a pouch and was mesh (which seemed nice for hot weather and quick drying on trips.) When I got them, I loved the pouch, but the waistband rode so low that before long it had slipped down. Such size and fit problems discourage me from buying that way. Also, for the price of one, I can get three from JC Penney which fit right and last a long time (and no shipping charge). They are not as sexy and don't have a pouch, but there are fewer complications.
