I purchase these underwear becuase i like loose undies to sleep in and these appear comfy . The cotton is comfortable but the reason why i gave it a 2 star is because the waist band is very uncomfortable,even though they are oversize  so if you are buying your true size, look out!).You get this rough prickly feeling from the band. I don't know if after several washings if teh band will become soft however i did wash before wearing.
