I am editing this review, 3 out of 6 of the briefs were defective. the bottom seam was not properly sewn and after the first washing, one split about two inches and looks like the other two won't servive a second washing. the ends were supposed to be sealed but the stitching extended past the seam about two inches and had to be cut off and because it wasn't tied off properly, came apart. they looked suspicious to begin with. as mentioned further on, these were made in Vietnam, i have never had a problem with Hanes made in central america. I have been buying Hanes briefs for about 40 years and i would definitely say the quality has steadily gone down in the past 5-10 years. first of all, why can't they make the mid-rise in white. these are not made in El Sallvador, but Vietnam and i relate a lot of the loss in quality being that they moved their manufacture to Vietnam. i haven't tried these on yet but  all the other fairly new full size i've bought have crooked bottom seams, i would say 90%. these i had to trim excess material off each pair on the bottom seams as well as in other places. they are supposed to be three different shades but there are four shades in the pack, 2 black, 2 light grey, another gray and kind of a very light shade of greyish purple so you have 3 & 3 of 100% cotton versus 75% which i also don't know why heathers can't be all cotton. would i buy again, probably. i bought these to compare the fit of mid-rise versus full size. from my recollections there never used to be a difference and everything was what they call mid-rise which i feel alwayys felt and fit better than the granny panties. now you have to pay a premium for mid-rise and can't get white
