I have a problem with the elastic in the legs of my underwear, after a few washes the elastic around the leg stretches and does not give support. However, with the Dockers, the elastic is thick,strong, and lasts longer than any underwear that I have purchased. I have tried Jockey, Hanes, Sears, Penny's, and khols brand to name a few and they do not live up to the quality of the Jockey. Dockers are a little higher than some of the other brands, but you get what you pay for. I plan to scrap my other brands to use for shop rags and purchase nothing more than Dockers.
