Fruit of the LoomWomen's Size Underwear, Designed to Fit Your Curves, Brief-Beyondsoft Cotton Blend-Assorted, 9 Plus

I figured I ought to provide a review, something I'm not prone to doing even though I often/always bank my purchases on item reviews, since I just bought me a second set of these underwear because they're just that good!I bought my 1st set of these 2 months ago because I was on the hunt for some new comfortable underwear and omfort was my main criteria. Wasn't aware that I was dealing with some health issues that was causing a fair bit of internal inflammation, just knew that I had had enough of basically everything I had at the time because they were old, ratty looking and even my all-time favorites had begun feeling too... something... not exactly too tight, yet they just weren't very comfortable anymore either and I didn't need that kind of extra stress in my life. But. I'm a barely-makin-it domestic violence survivor.Sure, I'm super proud to have gotten as far as I have in this world (considering that post-separation psychological terrorism and torture continue to thus day, 5 years after I broke free) but, by rights and family-rearing, I should be living in a whole different world right now... which is my way of saying that money is extra, EXTRA tight in my house...and yet, I still have "caviar tastes", ifykwim. Lol. And, frankly, neither I nor anyone else should have to scrimp on comfortable, classy-feeling, fashionable clothing no matter how small our clothing budget may be.I was spurred to check out boxer briefs for women after reading about a few different women's favorite brands in the comments on soneones IG post (that must have been in regards to underwear, but heck if I can remember the details). So, off I went to scout around on Amazon to see what this "boxer briefs" business was about... desperately hoping that the term was not just a rebranding of those "hipsters" things.I am 46yo, 5'10" (potentially closer to 5'11"... not something I care enough about to know for certain, lol) and, clothing size-wise, my whole adult life I have consistently been a 16-18/18-20, top to bottom, with a shape that seems some what apple-ish at the moment but has, in general, always been more hourglass than apple. Also it seems as if I might have rather freakishly high hips, lol... not really, but for reference, when it comes to pants or jeans what generally passes as "tall", usually a 33"-34" inseem, fit like ankle or cigar length pants on me. But evidently I don't just have long legs, no, this momma's body seems to also have one heck of a long, tall pelvis which I did finally measure to figure out for sure but, prior to that, I could tell based on the way that low cut underwear like bikini & hipsters, and any form of low rise pants, barely make it north of my low lying c-section scar location which, for those who can't relate, is basically at the top of my hooha or just at the point where my belly and my hooha meet. And because that point on my body is not even remotely close to my "hip" area such items basically fall right off my body unless they're super stretchy and I deliberately hike them up to my hip area which I put up with in my 20s and 30s, for the sake of fashion I suppose, but which was and is quite ungodly uncomfortable, and... basically... I am so over with "uncomfortable" anything (men included, lol.)In both cases I bought size 11, though, if I'm being honest, I am certain that a 10 would have fit well, too. And who knows, a 10 might have been just as comfortable or even more comfortable than the 11... but, I didn't take bother taking the chance to find out when I ordered my second set because the first set (size 11) made me so unbelievably happy that they literally changed my views about underwear for life.This whole "pants come off after work" thing or the memes about people working from home (due to covid restrictions) and not wearing pants never jived with me prior to having these boxer briefs, but now... omg... these things are super inexpensive and somehow still suit my somewhat "caviar taste" perfectly (have a good handfeel and are just so unbelievably super comfortable), PLUS... they're opaque and they basically fit (and look) like I'm wearing a loungy pair of bike shorts, so... yeah, I've spent some time over the last 2 months actually chillin in my house in my freaking underwear!!!!Life. Changing. :D

The micromesh on these briefs is really comfortable and keeps you cool. The elastic isn't too narrow and doesn't pinch. The briefs offer a comfortable coverage and don't slip or ride. These are a great option if you are looking for a basic brief that stays in place and keeps a comfortable feel after washing.

Good fit. I like the fabric. Doesn't fell like granny panties. Goid Value for money, nice colors, decent elasticity.

As a curvy girl, I am always on the hunt for soft, stretchy underwear and was super excited to find that Hanes now carries plus sizes in several lines. I looked at several different products, including the Hanes "fit for me" plus size line, but went with this one due to the good reviews. I am a size 10 in undies usually, and a 20/22 jean size. I definitely have a butt and went up to an 11 just to be on the safe side. When I pulled these out of the package, they looked HUGE. However, I think it must've just been the extra fabric needed for the brief style because they actually fit pretty well.Things I like:They're well made and the material is soft, like a mix between cotton and jersey fabric. I really like that the elastic in the stomach and leg bands has been covered with the same fabric and is very sturdy. No rolling elastic and no lines on your stomach from open elastic.Things I don't like:Not crazy about the brief cut or the choices of colors (which are mostly pinks and purples, blech.) As far as I can tell, the brief cut is pretty much the only available style for plus sizes on most of the lines I looked at. I honestly feel like briefs are one of the worst option for plus size girls because even though the extra fabric can help with tummy control, if the band is too tight, you end up with an obvious (and uncomfortable) lumpiness that is not flattering at all. Which leads me to my biggest gripe here and why I subtracted a star...The bands do not have much stretch to them at all. This is actually my biggest pet peeve when looking for underwear and what I was *hoping* this product would avoid due to how soft the bands looked. Unfortunately, they just don't have much give and aren't very comfortable in the tummy area. Maybe this could be solved by going up a size, and may not even be an issue for a smaller woman or in a different style. But if you carry weight in your stomach, this might be a problem for you, and I would maybe look into the "fit for me line" which has more band options.(Also, just a note that I've been using pads with them and the pads stick fine. Just mentioning because someone said pads won't stick to them.)Overall, these are definitely worth the money and I would recommend!(If you found this review helpful, please feel free to upvote.) :)

Nice fit, soft, don’t ride up. Work great for us older women. Wash and dry well. Great buy! I’ve bought several times.

Bought an 11 and typically wear 24-26 or 3x on bottom. They fit close to perfect. I have more belly than butt so the butt is loose but not saggy diaper more like scrunch or roll the back which is typical of any underwear I buy. Durable breathable, yes panty lines show a bit, and after 9 months the color fades a bit. I wear these under my belly for a good fit but they will go up to half way to your belly button if that's what u like. These are the only panties I will be buying unless special occasion. ;)

The touch and feel of these undies are nice, but they ride up and are quite tight around the groin area. After just one wear, I noticed I ripped them while pulling them up. Additionally, there's no stretch to make them more comfortable, so don’t even try. I doubt these will last long or see much use—there’s just way too much riding up my backside and literally choking my groin area.

Sizing is spot on, well made, nicely packaged. Good material. I assume that this means, in the context of previous experience, that they will cease production. Will disregard the Amazon suggestion to add a photo of these in use. :-p

They last for ever and are very comfortable. The sizes are accurate. I will keep ordering them When times come to replace them.

Super comfortable, enough said

These fit in all the right places, not too tight not too loose, don't ride up in the behind. They come up comfortably to my belly, no tags to irritate, pretty colours, and wash and dry beautifully. What more could you want?Price was perhaps a little high, but it saved me driving from store to store to try to find brand and fit that I need.Would probably purchase again, and with a price adjustment/sale would absolutely purchase again.

I love these, they are soft and silky. Very comfy. Wash and dry by machine and they dont shrink. I've had some for a lot of years and they eventually stretch a bit after washing every week for years. These are a great deal and 2X I buy size 12
