These are the best pair of drawers I've had in a long time. They are wide enough in the crotch and fit on my hips and backside perfectly! Most of the time, the crotch is too narrow and the waist is on my belly button or over it. :/ This sit right on my hip bones and about an 1 1/2 inches below my belly button. The other great thing about them is they do not come in ridiculous patterns and colors. They have a little style without making me feel silly. The last set I bought was from "Just My Size" and they came in an array of the ugliest patterns you can imagine. A grown woman wearing bubble gum pink undies with aqua trim and large patterned polka dots in brown, aqua and white. That's right folks PATTERNED polka dots. I feel like a clown wearing those! But these bloomers are just right!! 5 stars from me for Fruit of the Loom!!
