Amazon Essentials Stretch Fashion Assorted Reviews Summary

Comfort and Fit

Pros:

• "These are nice and soft and actually STAY in place."
• "Perfect fit. Do Not go up a size. Covers my butt without coming up too high in mid-rise jeans."
• "These soft and comfy underwear far exceeded my expectations. They are the most comfortable I’ve ever worn."
• "LOVE these, they are thin and breathe, but they are also stay put, don't ride up to places they aren't welcome.. and they wash up SO nicely."
• "These are soft and fit great. They didn’t shrink in the wash and have held up nicely."
• "Amazon Essentials Women's Cotton High Leg Brief Underwear fit true to size, very comfortable to wear, lightweight and sturdy, no riding up."
• "The fabric is very comfortably thin (not cheaply so) and soft, with unobtrusive elastic at the waist and legs that does its job without cutting in."

Cons:

• "Beware! NONE of the elastic strips are wrapped in fabric and all are very THIN. This leads to pinching and chaffing as the elastic rubs into the skin."
• "They only last a few washes before starting to thread out."
• "I bought these about a month and a half ago and while they are nice i’ve already had to throw 3 pairs away due to them ripping and coming apart."
• "Cotton is nice, but the elastic is a bit skimpy in quality so I don't know if they will last as long."
• "Not a single one fit the same!"
• "Purchased these a little over a month ago and I’ve already thrown 4 pairs away. They are getting holes at the seams."
• "The waistband/leg bands had no stretch or give whatsoever even though it looks like elastic."

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "They wash well without shrinking or stretching."
• "For the price of the Amazon underwear you can’t beat it."
• "They stay nice last a long time."
• "They are tagless which is appreciated. The colors are nice, I particularly like the dark maroon color and wish I could buy a whole pack of just that single color."
• "They are soft, have the right amount of elastic which make them super comfy."
• "They wash up extremely well, not changing in size or pilling as shown in the attached photo."
• "The ones she has had for more than a year are still holding their shape and look as good as new."

Cons:

• "I loved these until they went through the wash. Two out of four pairs had loose elastic with threads hanging after one wear/wash."
• "However, upon washing (handwash), most of them stayed ok but there was some which some of the garter threads unravelled."
• "Very disappointed in the quality of work. The seams started ripping in one and I though maybe it’s a one off. And soon enough they started ripping in two others."
• "After 6 weeks, the stitching on these underwear are beginning to unraveling. 3 out of 6 pair are unraveling."
• "Several other reviews also mention- the stitching coming out. Not worth the money."
• "Does the job however these underwear are not durable. They last about 6 to 9 months before the waist seams come apart."
• "These, on the other hand, will wear out within a year."

Material and Breathability

Pros:

• "These are good quality underwear. Unfortunately, I find that they don't breathe like Hanes or Fruit of the Loom underwear so they get uncomfortable."
• "I’ve purchased these pairs of underwear twice now because I love them! So comfy, stretchy and there are no visible blood stains since they’re black."
• "Honestly I felt a little like an old lady buying a pack of underwear like this. But tbh these are probably some of the most comfortable underwear I own. Basic, solid black, comfortable and breathable material."
• "They are very comfortable in jeans, leggings and shorts."
• "They're soft, give a good amount of stretch, and are breathable."
• "These are fantastic they are exactly what I was hoping for and they are comfortable they are wonderful cotton that lets the body breathe."
• "The fabric is soft and lightweight against the skin. They look good and hold their shape."

Cons:

• "Don't know how much cotton has look and feel of poly and so sheer well, can see skin."
• "The material DID NOT breathe. By the end of the work day, they were soaked."
• "I'm shocked that these are supposedly 95% cotton. I've never felt cotton like this. The material feels exactly like 100% spandex or spanx or something."
• "The only thing that may be questionable is the quality of the cotton fabric, it seems a bit thin to last a long time."
• "Do you know how hard it is to find cotton white underwear? I used to find that they were always out of stock in stores or bundled with other colors that I do not want."
• "Amazon Essentials Women's Cotton High Leg Brief Underwear, they are not cotton! Very thin silky feeling with sharp elastic."
• "The material is very thin I don't think they'll last very long."
