The patterns are cute, but that's about all I like. The cotton doesn't feel very soft (compared to undies we've purchased from Carter's and the Gap)...and they seem to run small. The first day I put these on my 3 year old, she kept tugging at them and eventually told me, "These underwear are bothering me, Mommy"....that says it all. Although more expensive, I will stick to Gap and Carter's.
