You might find that people are recommending your legging because they’re great, they stay up, they’re not see-through but people are consistently saying that they are saying that the sizing runs on the larger side. That’s great info to share on your product pages and maybe share with your manufacturer.
OR say you’re a hotel, Maybe People are saying that your rooms are beautiful but the breakfast buffet is below par
