Our family has sensitive skin, so new items are washed before wearing. I'm surprised that something we have relied on for most of my son's life, is slipping in quality. They actually shrunk a bit. I washed them in cold water and used low heat to dry. It' s not my first rodeo. My son being 6"4", and about 180%23, this should not have happened. Sort of disappointed. We prefer form over Hanes, but may have to rethink this after all these years. Something as basic as underwear, shouldn't be this complicated. But thing are now " disposable" , instead of lady a lifetime. Such a shame.

The key to these is the fabric covered waistband. It never digs into your waist and the underwear are comfortable. When I first tried the "Cool Zone" kind, it felt a little too "breezy" for a while, but once you are used to them, there is no going back. The only major downside is, no matter where you order this kind, it's "assorted" so you don't get any choice on the colors. They just send whatever they have. Comfort: 5 stars. No choice in style you get drops it to 4.

My son with special needs prefers these clothes because he finds them comfortable. However, I've noticed that they are no longer made of 100% cotton. I'm concerned about how long they will remain comfortable since only natural fibers, such as cotton, provide that level of comfort and freshness. As someone who sews, it's important to be aware that synthetic fabrics or recycled fibers can cause discomfort by making you feel hot and not protecting you from the elements. Cotton, on the other hand, has the ability to adapt to the climate, keeping you cool in hot weather and warm in cold weather. Synthetic fabrics lack this feature, leading to feeling hotter in hot weather and colder in cold weather. It's worth noting that this isn't related to climate change itself, but rather how clothes are designed.

Read the small print. What is pictured may not be what you get.
I ordered these because the ones with the stripes (4 of the 6 pairs in the photo) are made from a slightly different fabric and they are really comfortable. Instead I got a different item which is 4 solid pairs and 2 with thicker stripes; none with the thin stripes and the super nice knit.
I called and customer service said well the website says what you get may not match what is pictured.I misunderstood how online commerce works this time, or they did.
