Fruit Of The Loom Womens Fit For Me Plus Size Underwear, Designed To Your Curves, Brief - Cotton - White, 10 Plus

If you haven't switched to boxer briefs, you're missing out :)
I figured I ought to provide a review, something I'm not prone to doing even though I often/always bank my purchases on item reviews, since I just bought me a second set of these underwear because they're just that good!I bought my 1st set of these 2 months ago because I was on the hunt for some new comfortable underwear and omfort was my main criteria. Wasn't aware that I was dealing with some health issues that was causing a fair bit of internal inflammation, just knew that I had had enough of basically everything I had at the time because they were old, ratty looking and even my all-time favorites had begun feeling too... something... not exactly too tight, yet they just weren't very comfortable anymore either and I didn't need that kind of extra stress in my life. But. I'm a barely-makin-it domestic violence survivor.Sure, I'm super proud to have gotten as far as I have in this world (considering that post-separation psychological terrorism and torture continue to thus day, 5 years after I broke free) but, by rights and family-rearing, I should be living in a whole different world right now... which is my way of saying that money is extra, EXTRA tight in my house...and yet, I still have "caviar tastes", ifykwim. Lol. And, frankly, neither I nor anyone else should have to scrimp on comfortable, classy-feeling, fashionable clothing no matter how small our clothing budget may be.I was spurred to check out boxer briefs for women after reading about a few different women's favorite brands in the comments on soneones IG post (that must have been in regards to underwear, but heck if I can remember the details). So, off I went to scout around on Amazon to see what this "boxer briefs" business was about... desperately hoping that the term was not just a rebranding of those "hipsters" things.I am 46yo, 5'10" (potentially closer to 5'11"... not something I care enough about to know for certain, lol) and, clothing size-wise, my whole adult life I have consistently been a 16-18/18-20, top to bottom, with a shape that seems some what apple-ish at the moment but has, in general, always been more hourglass than apple. Also it seems as if I might have rather freakishly high hips, lol... not really, but for reference, when it comes to pants or jeans what generally passes as "tall", usually a 33"-34" inseem, fit like ankle or cigar length pants on me. But evidently I don't just have long legs, no, this momma's body seems to also have one heck of a long, tall pelvis which I did finally measure to figure out for sure but, prior to that, I could tell based on the way that low cut underwear like bikini & hipsters, and any form of low rise pants, barely make it north of my low lying c-section scar location which, for those who can't relate, is basically at the top of my hooha or just at the point where my belly and my hooha meet. And because that point on my body is not even remotely close to my "hip" area such items basically fall right off my body unless they're super stretchy and I deliberately hike them up to my hip area which I put up with in my 20s and 30s, for the sake of fashion I suppose, but which was and is quite ungodly uncomfortable, and... basically... I am so over with "uncomfortable" anything (men included, lol.)In both cases I bought size 11, though, if I'm being honest, I am certain that a 10 would have fit well, too. And who knows, a 10 might have been just as comfortable or even more comfortable than the 11... but, I didn't take bother taking the chance to find out when I ordered my second set because the first set (size 11) made me so unbelievably happy that they literally changed my views about underwear for life.This whole "pants come off after work" thing or the memes about people working from home (due to covid restrictions) and not wearing pants never jived with me prior to having these boxer briefs, but now... omg... these things are super inexpensive and somehow still suit my somewhat "caviar taste" perfectly (have a good handfeel and are just so unbelievably super comfortable), PLUS... they're opaque and they basically fit (and look) like I'm wearing a loungy pair of bike shorts, so... yeah, I've spent some time over the last 2 months actually chillin in my house in my freaking underwear!!!!Life. Changing. :D

Finally! Leave us a hint plz
I’ve been looking for these for SO LONG.I owned a few that didn’t fit, but then I lost weight and they did, but I only had those few!I wanted more, but it was a legit Where’s Waldo of underpants buying where everything looked the same until it was right in front of you.Seriously though, no one keeps the boxes. If you’re going to have a bunch of different types in the same category (ie; briefs), and they all have SUBcategories, with nebulously similar ads, MAYBE think about tossing in an extra line of info on the inside of the pants?All I had to go on was the brand (fruit of the loom) and the size, everything else was a guess, at best. So just the tiniest little blurb of ‘360 stretch’ somewhere would have saved me SO MUCH TIME, and I’d have gotten these a year ago in a larger size as well as now in the smaller. They are just so darn comfy.

A little large, and wish they were longer.
They are just a little large. Not sure if they'll draw up in the wash. Mostly, I wish they were slightly longer. While they do a great job of being underwear, I was hoping they'd also pull double-duty when I'm wearing a dress of preventing "chub rub." If that specific feature is what you're especially shopping for, you might should keep shopping. They're long-ish, just not quite long enough to suit me. Still, they're very soft and comfortable.

Plus size review
As a curvy girl, I am always on the hunt for soft, stretchy underwear and was super excited to find that Hanes now carries plus sizes in several lines. I looked at several different products, including the Hanes "fit for me" plus size line, but went with this one due to the good reviews. I am a size 10 in undies usually, and a 20/22 jean size. I definitely have a butt and went up to an 11 just to be on the safe side. When I pulled these out of the package, they looked HUGE. However, I think it must've just been the extra fabric needed for the brief style because they actually fit pretty well.Things I like:They're well made and the material is soft, like a mix between cotton and jersey fabric. I really like that the elastic in the stomach and leg bands has been covered with the same fabric and is very sturdy. No rolling elastic and no lines on your stomach from open elastic.Things I don't like:Not crazy about the brief cut or the choices of colors (which are mostly pinks and purples, blech.) As far as I can tell, the brief cut is pretty much the only available style for plus sizes on most of the lines I looked at. I honestly feel like briefs are one of the worst option for plus size girls because even though the extra fabric can help with tummy control, if the band is too tight, you end up with an obvious (and uncomfortable) lumpiness that is not flattering at all. Which leads me to my biggest gripe here and why I subtracted a star...The bands do not have much stretch to them at all. This is actually my biggest pet peeve when looking for underwear and what I was *hoping* this product would avoid due to how soft the bands looked. Unfortunately, they just don't have much give and aren't very comfortable in the tummy area. Maybe this could be solved by going up a size, and may not even be an issue for a smaller woman or in a different style. But if you carry weight in your stomach, this might be a problem for you, and I would maybe look into the "fit for me line" which has more band options.(Also, just a note that I've been using pads with them and the pads stick fine. Just mentioning because someone said pads won't stick to them.)Overall, these are definitely worth the money and I would recommend!(If you found this review helpful, please feel free to upvote.) :)

Not consistant sizing
I've ordered these several times in the last year. I've noticed that the sizing has been inconsistant. Like they are cutting them a tad smaller. And at the crotch area in back sometimes you get a run (like in a pair of nylons), its as though it wasn't stitched down with enough fabric at the seam.

Amazing comfort
Oh. My. Word. These are the underwear that I have been looking for! In my hunt for comfortable underwear, I even resorted to men's boxers, but those never fit me right. Ladies boy shorts are always too short in the leg and ride up terribly. These are soft, stretchy, loose and comfy, and the legs are nice and long. Keep in mind, they are plus sized underwear, so if you normally wear a size nine, this nine will likely be too large for you. My hips are around 43-44 inches and I normally wear a size 14, but the size 9 in these is perfect, even a bit on the loose side. The fact that they double as slip shorts is awesome. Comfy to sleep in, great under a skirt or maxi dress. I haven't yet tried them under yoga pants- I'm assuming the legs might bunch up a little. They are a smooth and lightweight fabric, perfect for summer. I've only worn one pair but I know I will be ordering more and throwing out my old uncomfortable underwear. Be sure to measure your hips (around the biggest part of your bum) and check the size chart in the product images to get the right fit. I have thick thighs and these don't cut in at all, very stretchy and comfy, you won't be disappointed!

Better than expected.
It is no longer easy to get access to large size clothing/underwear these days, but one of my daughters had bought this brand from Walmart, which doesn't seem to be carrying them anymore, so when I decided to get myself some new underwear I had to find another source. I was more than pleased when I received these underwear, especially after wearing the first pair. I am so happy that I made this purchase. I am depending more and more on Amazon and the products they carry, especially the ones that don't seem to be available in stores anymore. I have not been disappointed yet.
