I have purchased 2 pkgs of these in the past 2 years. The first time it seems like most of the panties tore some in the crotch area. A year later I ordered the same panties since I liked the fit and colors they offered and I haven't had any problems with them tearing.

I like these they are well made and soft and comfy but when I order again, I will get a size larger as the sizes tend to run small. At least for me. I can usually easily wear 11 but this brand is a bit tight for me.

I have recently gained a LOT of weight due to Covid. I have always loved wearing pretty and comfortable undergarments that are functional, but let's get real. Who wants to pay $15 for one pair of underwear when you're planning on loosing weight? I didn't want to invest a lot of money, so I scoured the internet to see what other plus sized ladies are saying.

I decided to purchase four types of Fruit of the Loom briefs so I could find which is the best for form, fit, function, and affordablity. They also have a couple of others that are in this category; however, the elastic is exposed at the waist and legs. I like the added comfort of having the covered elastic.

Here are my thoughts:
1) Women's Breathable Underwear with Mesh - They're 91% cotton and I love the wicking effect; however, they don't seem to dry because they absorb the moisture and trap it. They stretch well and are extremely comfortable.

2) If you don't like seams, they make the exact same ones above in a seamless version called Women's Fit for Me Plus Size Underwear. Please don't confuse them for the similar flexible fit version that's very similar in appearance though. They're completely different.

3) Beyondsoft Panties - They are only 60% cotton, but they have a cotton crotch. You wouldn't ever know that they aren't 100% cotton. They're the softest of the four that I tried. They have four way stretch and wick moisture in my humid climate better than the two listed above. They actually pull the moisture away and dry while the others stay damp which is bad for your skin. I am usually not a fan of every day wear panties that aren't 100% cotton, but these hit it out of the park. As an added bonus, they're currently the least expensive per pair out of all four as well. They're a win all the way around! They also allow you to select your colors when you "get what's sent" with the other three.

4) Tag Free Cotton Brief Panties - They are 100% cotton and ROUGH. There's virtually no give and the butt is cut so funny that I thought that I had them on backwards at first. They're uncomfortable and not very forgiving. Their claim to fame is that they are tag free, but all four listed are tag free.

In conclusion, for every day wear, go with #3. If you're working out, I would wear #1 or #2, but I wouldn't wear them for an extended period of time. You should always change your underwear after you workout anyway. At this price, I can actually afford to replace all my high end panties. What I used to pay per pair, I can get an entire pack of these. I am going to stick with them after I lose weight since I'm so pleased with their quality.

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but this wasn't it. I ordered a size 13; should've ordered a 12 (per sizing chart), but I erred on the side of comfort and they were just way too big. Not uncomfortable or completely falling off, but this is definitely a "wear to bed" kind of undies rather than a "wear out of the house under regular clothes" kind of undies. Super comfortable and soft, but very thin and molds itself to all the bumps and curves, and just not flattering on me at all. (Like AT ALL. Lol.) I'm 5'6", 250lb, 55" hips, and 44" waist.

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
