These are sold as fashion briefs, but,  unless you are a Madonna-wanna-be that has problems in remembering what goes where, what they are called means nothing to me. I buy this type of briefs because I like them. Some complain about the colors, etc., but as long as they do what they are suppose to do, I am happy. Usually I don't read the care instructions or the label on the shorts, as I just throw them in the wash with the rest of my clothes and when we have global warming, I hang them on the line. The instructions say to tumble dry low and not to iron. Not being a funny-bunny, I don't iron and the dryer runs hot. If you need to read the label on the shorts, have fun if you are an American as the only thing that I can read is "made in Honduras". All of the shorts are the same size and are the size that I bought (m). So, no problem there and the price seems reasonable. I don't have a car, so when others take me shopping, I don't have the time to look around as I use to, which is why I got these on the Internet. In short, so to speak, I am very happy with this purchase.  +JMJ+
