First Apologies for the longer review, but this will cover many of the questions many plus sized folks have when buying underwear sight unseen, many which are never addressed in oroduct descriptions or reviews.
I am a plus sized woman with Lipedema which is a fat disorder (that doesn't respond to fitness or diet and is hereditary) that makes my lower body abnormally large. Because of this, finding clothing is a nightmare, ESPECIALLY underwear. I buy in packs because the cost of single pairs that may or may not fit is prohibitively expensive for me. I have bought packs of underwear at many stores and I get this weird phenomenon of 2 or 3 pairs fitting and the remaining 3 dont fit (who knows why this occurs?!)
Seeing this package of underwear, honestly, I had very little hope or expectation of good quality or the dreaded 3 out of 5 or 6 pairs not fitting syndrome not occuring. Boy was I shocked!
First the package was discreet which is nice. I don't need the entire world seeing my big ole underpants! It was on time and I appreciate that. When I opened it I looked at the quality of the fabric and it seems to be quite good. There is an extra panty pocket layer in there that is breathable and comfortable. The stitching was good and not crappy like many brands. The fabric itself felt nice and smooth. I washed them and tried them on. EVERY PAIR FITS!!!!! NOT EVEN ONE HAD THE PROBLEM I SPOKE OF ABOVE!!! So right away that makes it worth the money.
The fabric still felt so soft and smooth I was happy. I have sensory issues that sometimes make fabrics feel like torture. This didn't trigger that and there is no labels to cut out. Thats nice too. Pads stick well to the panty layer, which is helpful if you need pantiliners, period pads or incontinence pads! Anyone who does knows some underwear won't take the stick and then you get bunching. Not with these!
The styles were cute too. I got polka dots, stripes, a cute pattern and some solids. I appreciate that in plus sized underwear. After all we want to feel sexy and beautiful too and these, although packaged bulk undies, does that.
As for sizing, 5x works for me but they are very stretchy material so I will buy 4x too as my size fluctuates based on fluid retention. They run pretty true to size and the size chart provided on this site was helpful. I appreciate that they did not cut into my very large legs and hips, as many plus sized underwear brands tended to be too tight even the 5x, on the leg holes. Also many brands, I have had them fit but then they dont cover my whole booty, so my crack hangs out and thats not okay. These give me full coverage! So if you have very large legs, butt, and hips this will fit well and without pain so long as you follow the chart.
All in all these are great and I wil buy again! 5 stars for sure!
