My review title sums up how I think of these undies. I did not purchase them from Amazon but have been buying the same 6-packs from my local Target for many years where I can get them for $6, and once in awhile they even throw in a "free +1 pair". Having bought numerous packages, I can tell you that the sizes aren't consistent. That is, a size "5" for example, will vary in how in how it's cut, how low the hip is, and in overall size, so even if YOU don't change, there's no exact telling that a particular size will always be the right one for you.  Eventually, they all wear out.  Yes, I understand, underwear isn't meant to be owned for life, but I mean they wear out in fairly short order.  The color fades, the booty gets baggy, and almost ALWAYS the elastic at the waist or leg starts to unravel.  You see a little unraveling thread start on these, and it's all over.

So why do I buy them?  At $1/pair, it's a fairly reasonable trade to me to get cute, no-frills, cotton hipsters (in various colors and patterns) that typically have good derriere coverage. If I found a comparable replacement, I'd stop buying these (I think Hanes are just as cheaply made).

Edit Jan 2013:  So it'd been awhile since I bought any of these from Target as I was really trying to kick the Fruit of the Loom undie habit since I invariably regret it.  But I checked my local Target this week and they've jumped in price to $9.99.  No way I'd pay more than a buck a pair for these so unless they go on sale (there or here - the latter of which seems unlikely), I won't buy them.  It's a shame 'cause it's nice to have all cotton underwear sometimes, especially in summertime. (Sweat and nylon are a bad combo, especially in underwear.)
