I was hesitant to buy these after reading that they may shrink in the dryer or that they do not hold up well.  I wash and throw them in the dryer, and they are fine.  I have only had them for about a month, but so far they still look new.  I bought a few more pairs.  I usually wear barely there or garments from Soma, but these are comparable in comfort and are better priced.  Love them so far.

**Four months later and the underwear still look new. I am planning on buying more soon.  They are not "pretty" with lace like the undergarments I usually buy from Soma or Victoria's secret, but they are more comfortable and have that "barely there" feel to it which I love.
