Hanes products have been bought by us for years. This is the first time I’ve had an issue with anything. These particular panties run small and fit very tight. Wasted money buying these because I can’t return them. There are other Hanes panties that fit much better like the microfiber mesh panties. I get the low rise briefs and they fit perfectly! There’s another one that’s cotton ribbed panties that run a little big and I like those too. Overall Hanes are great! Just be careful which ones you purchase.
