Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have been buying Hanes panties that look just like this in the package for years, and always the same size. These are NOT the same as they used to be! They are extremely thin and cheap-feeling. In addition, though they are labeled as being my usual size, they are much, much smaller. When I laid one on top of a pair I bought a year or so ago, these were at least 2" narrower from side to side and shorter top to bottom. Same size on the label but easily 2-3 sizes smaller (and therefore useless). I bought these at the last minute for a trip. Since the package looked the same, and the labeled size was right, I tossed them right in the washer since I need to pack them. It is possible that they shrunk 2" in the wash. I did notice while unwrapping them that he quality was very poor, but I didn't have time to replace them. Since they have been washed, rather than returning them to Amazon, I am using the "Satisfaction Guaranteed" info on the package and I am sending them to the company, to the address they provide for such things (Hanes, not the seller), with my request for a refund (they offer refund or exchange if you are not completely satisfied). We'll see what happens. In the meantime, do yourself a favor and, even if you liked these in the past, heed these reviews and choose another brand. 10/12/12 -- I had actually pretty much forgotten about these, but today a check came in the mail from Hanes, refunding me $10 for the already-washed panties. Obviously you are better off simply returning them to Amazon as soon as you see what they are like, but this does work as a back-up.
