I have used this brand of underpants for about ten years now. I used to be able to buy from Penny's but the last few years I have had to track them down online. My previous online order was three years ago and it took a while to get them because all of the distributors were out of stock. Since then I had read several reviews about quality issues and I was hesitant but I really like their comfort and design so I decided to try them again.  I have washed the new pairs about five time each and they are holding up fine.  I have washed my older pairs more than 100 times each with no noticible problems.
