Usually buy 100% cotton Jockey panties. Was looking for a less expensive alternative. This is not it. I bought a size larger, a 7, knowing they would likely shrink. However these are not 100% cotton so probably will not shrink or get softer or feel a bit thicker. Very thin and a bit crisp feeling, the leg holes are covered but the hip elastic is not. It is a strange wider than usual elastic. (Is it that hard to do 100% cotton with covered elastic?) They seem to run large. Most important, the hipsters are actually less coverage than a normal bikini panty. Color are subdued in blues and greys, 1 lavender. I will not purchase again.
