My daughter has been wearing Hanes panties from size four up. She is now wearing a size 8 to 10. I have always admire how comfortable she has always been in these panties but have been really disappointed in the quality panties that Hanes is now producing. The ones I have a problem with are the ones with the multi coloured pattern around the white elastic on the waist. The thread gets loose on 8 of the 12 panties I bought in the pack. I have also noticed that the elastic is pulling apart from the waist and legs. Not enough material is used to anchor the elastic onto the body of the panty.  I have to use needle and thread and manually sew them on(thank God I learnt to sew in clothing and textile class in high school years ago). I could not return them as I am not living in the USA but bought them there. When I used to buy the ones that is marked "HANES" on the elastic at the waist, I was very pleased with them as they were much more durable. Hanes need to go back to the old pattern and method of making their panties if they want people to recommend and keep buying them.
