Gee, what is up with packages of panties? These are made in Honduras, I don't know where Hanes are made, but I've had the same problem with both brands and it is really frustrating to pay for 6 pair and find 2 the right size and 4 made for elves. I chose FOTL this time, based on the number of complaints about wrong sizes in the same pkg at the Hanes brand page.

Pluses: very soft, well made, good sturdy elastic band [though it is not cloth covered if you're allergic to latex FYI] comfortable doubled crotch.

Minuses: the two white in the package were the correct size; the two solid colors were identical sizes but 3" shorter when laid atop the white ones; the two print ones were identical sizes but a 1/2" larger then the solids. Go figure. It's a continual frustration and the only way around it is to buy panties in person at a department store and hold them up to each other to be sure they are equal size. Ugh. I will wear all of these, even the ones that cut into my thighs, as the wide elastic waistband does not chafe, they just look like I'm wearing someone else's underwear.

This problem is rampant, not exclusive to panties: I've noticed it in linens and towels and napkins, that anything that comes in a set and is made outside the USA, will have an assortment of sizes within the same set. Why can't we make products here anymore and get some quality control? Sheesh.
