Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have recently gained a LOT of weight due to Covid. I have always loved wearing pretty and comfortable undergarments that are functional, but let's get real. Who wants to pay $15 for one pair of underwear when you're planning on loosing weight? I didn't want to invest a lot of money, so I scoured the internet to see what other plus sized ladies are saying. I decided to purchase four types of Fruit of the Loom briefs so I could find which is the best for form, fit, function, and affordablity. They also have a couple of others that are in this category; however, the elastic is exposed at the waist and legs. I like the added comfort of having the covered elastic. Here are my thoughts: 1) Women's Breathable Underwear with Mesh - They're 91% cotton and I love the wicking effect; however, they don't seem to dry because they absorb the moisture and trap it. They stretch well and are extremely comfortable. 2) If you don't like seams, they make the exact same ones above in a seamless version called Women's Fit for Me Plus Size Underwear. Please don't confuse them for the similar flexible fit version that's very similar in appearance though. They're completely different. 3) Beyondsoft Panties - They are only 60% cotton, but they have a cotton crotch. You wouldn't ever know that they aren't 100% cotton. They're the softest of the four that I tried. They have four way stretch and wick moisture in my humid climate better than the two listed above. They actually pull the moisture away and dry while the others stay damp which is bad for your skin. I am usually not a fan of every day wear panties that aren't 100% cotton, but these hit it out of the park. As an added bonus, they're currently the least expensive per pair out of all four as well. They're a win all the way around! They also allow you to select your colors when you "get what's sent" with the other three. 4) Tag Free Cotton Brief Panties - They are 100% cotton and ROUGH. There's virtually no give and the butt is cut so funny that I thought that I had them on backwards at first. They're uncomfortable and not very forgiving. Their claim to fame is that they are tag free, but all four listed are tag free. In conclusion, for every day wear, go with #3. If you're working out, I would wear #1 or #2, but I wouldn't wear them for an extended period of time. You should always change your underwear after you workout anyway. At this price, I can actually afford to replace all my high end panties. What I used to pay per pair, I can get an entire pack of these. I am going to stick with them after I lose weight since I'm so pleased with their quality. *** If you liked my review, please vote "helpful" to motivate me to write more. ***
