Hanes Cool Comfort™ Women's Cotton Hipster Panties 6-Pack

These are inexpensive so I wasn't expecting much. The elastic and feel of the cotton is a little cheap (thick, low thread count) but that doesn't bother me as long as they do their job. I've only had them a few weeks but so far so good... The fit is nearly perfect. They are a little on the tight side but that is good because my experience with other cotton hanes underwear is that they stretch out over time. They really are hipsters which I Love, and the best part is that they don't ride up AT ALL, and they cover my whole butt. That is an accomplishment because I'm curvy in that area for a small person. For reference I'm approximately 5'4" , 130 lbs, and I usually wear a size 3/4 to 5/6. The size 5 is what I ordered. I've ordered 6 in the past and while they usually fit out of the package they usually stretch over time and become baggy. My advice if you are between sizes is to size down. Also, really they do need to give people the option to choose colors or at least color themes like pastel or earth tones, etc. I would pay extra for that option. It's worth it to me. I hated most of the colors I recieved... Pink, yuck. White, boring. Print, meh. Well, at least they are cotton. I will probably die them all black.

I bought some of these several years ago that I LOVED. The fabric was more substantial (thicker) cotton and a slightly different weave. The top waistband was wider and the elastic sewn-in, under the fabric. These new ones are "okay" but I wish they had left the old style alone. The fabric is thinner and not quite as soft. The waistband is attached elastic, rather than sewn-in, under fabric. I am wearing the for lack of a better choice. Most underwear doesn't cover my hind end, which drives me crazy. These BARELY cover, but at least they do. I have some "granny panties" that cover well but come up over my bellybutton, which I also don't love. Having the best of both in one pair of underwear would be a dream!
