I got these because I wanted inexpensive briefs.  Seems like men's under ware is getting on the more pricey side; this was the 'cheapest' I could purchase.  I usually get colored briefs, not for any fashion statement but because they are easier to keep "clean" (wink*wink*nudge*nudge).  But I figured I would go back to the style that my Mommy used to buy me......
