Several months ago, I purchased some new cotton bikini underwear and prefer them over other, more revealing styles. I'm a mom and I've discovered I prefer comfort over style so cotton bikinis suit me really well! I saw these underwear and I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical because I wondered if they would be good quality or not. I have some items from the Amazon Basics line and like them so I figured I'd give these a try.
The Amazon Essentials Cotton Bikini underwear come in a six-pack and you can currently choose from two styles: basic assorted and fashion assorted. The basic assorted package comes with the following colors: two white, one light pink, one light purple, one black, and one black and white stripe. The fashion assorted package contains: one salmon color, one navy, one navy and white stripe, one light purple, one white with black polka dots, and one white with black flowers. These underwear are made of 95% cotton and 5% elastane. You can machine wash in warm water and tumble dry low. These are made in Sri Lanka.
I initially ordered the basic assorted package and liked them enough that I immediately ordered the fashion assorted package as well. The underwear are very soft and comfortable! I really like the variety of colors and I would buy more if they decided to provide more colors. I've washed these underwear several times now according to the instructions and I didn't notice any shrinking. The stitching looks like good quality and I love that they don't ride up, which means these will work nicely when I exercise! I usually wear yoga pants and notice slight panty lines but they are hardly noticeable if you aren't looking for them. The bikini style sits comfortably at my hip and the band at the waist measures 2 3/8 inches. For size reference, I am 5'6", 165 pounds with a bit of a belly after having my twins and I purchased the large size which fit perfectly. I generally wear a 10 or 12 in pants and am glad I purchased the large.
I am happy I found these because they are incredibly comfortable. When I wear them, I actually hardly notice I'm wearing them because they are so light and comfortable! If Amazon decided to make more of these in different colors, I will definitely buy those as well. If you are looking for a good-quality, inexpensive and comfortable option to very expensive underwear, these are it! If these don't last as long as I'd like, I will update this review. Until then, I recommend these underwear because they are some of the most comfortable underwear I've owned and they don't cost an arm and a leg!
