Just did a quick scan of the other comments and was compelled to post my review because I got EXACTLY the selection pictured and the size is ACCURATE.

First I should note that my girl is average height and slightly on the skinny side.  She started wearing these size 4s when she was only 3 because they were so cute.  We call them her super-hero underpants.  I did not experience any shrinkage. The cotton is in fact slightly thicker than her character underpants and is about the same as her other Fruit of the Loom (bikini) underpants.

There IS "give" or "stretch" in the elastic.  (I went and checked it out after reading one negative review.)  It's just that the elastic is slightly wider and isn't stretched as drastically during manufacture so it's not as springy as other types.  THAT'S A GOOD THING!  Daughter's character undies and Fruit of the Loom bikini undies end up stuck on her buns whenever she crouches down or climbs up something.  Any big leg movement and the elastic grabs her cheek and stays there.  These hipsters are much better because the elastic isn't as stretchy so they go right back into the correct position. (This has become even more noticeable as she has grown to be a true size 4.  (All the underpants that I mention for comparison are size 4.))

Our have worn like iron, held their color and shape, and I got mud completely out of one pair on the first try after she played in/sat in wet Missouri clay in her underpants one day.  (The cotton doesn't seem to want to hold stains like some other cottons.)

The quality is unbeatable and I consider them a steal at this price.
