Sad thing is that I don't know what happened to them - probably lost them through so many moves at that time.

Even if you don't have stretch, I prefer those to some new Lycra suits that may fit tight, but are thin, so you don't feel much support. Plus being so thin means it reveals more curves than I prefer.
