UPDATE April 19: I lowered the rating on these to two stars. The inside flap is not as wide as the underwear from this brand used to be, and that causes some issues for my son. First, the rib-knit trim rubs on him uncomfortably. Second, there is less overlap of front and back flaps, so he is constantly trying to cover his "pepper," as it seems to pop out between the flaps. Annoying? Hell yes. It makes Mayhem miserable. I'm having to run a couple of stitches to secure the flaps to each other on all fourteen new pairs of Thomas underwear he owns. That doesn't solve the chafing issue, though, and Mayhem is already attached to these undies because of Thomas. I'm really perturbed and I do NOT recommend this item. I will attempt to post pics so you can see the difference between an old pair and a new pair from this maker.

OLD REVIEW: As the Thomas briefs we bought for Mayhem in the store, these wear well and don't seem to bag and sag, or chafe and bind our little monster. He's a Thomas FREAK, so "big boy pants" with Thomas printed on them make convincing him to get dressed a little easier. These were certainly more affordable, too, than the $20 plus tax at the department store. Mayhem has sensitive skin (yeah, the tyrant has his soft side), so I washed the briefs twice before letting him wear them, because these are printed and come saturated in sizing, just like other character underwear. NBD. They washed up well and he loves them so much, I have had to stop him showing his Thomas-emblazoned behind to people. It's a story I am sure to remember and bring up at a strategic future moment...
