5.0 out of 5 stars
Like wearing air... but better!, October 28, 2007
This review is from: Vanity Fair Women's My Favorite Pants Illumination Hi-Cut Brief #13808 (Apparel)
Being a tomboy for the most part, I used to stick to the cheapo Hanes multi-packs of cotton hi-cut briefs. But now that I have matured a bit in body and taste, I thought I'd spring for these based on the positive reviews, in several colors: White, Ballet Pink & Rose Beige.
I have had them for 6 weeks now, and they go through the washer and dryer with no ill effects that I can see. They keep their shape, and they are stitched very well. They're like wearing a slip of silk; totally non-binding, and clothes glide right over them.
I'm "plus-size" with a 38" waist and 51" hips, but the size 9 fit me perfectly, with no panty lines. I think the only time you'd see panty lines with these is if you were wearing a very clingy thin knit skirt or dress. Back to the sizing: looking at the chart, size 12 would have been humongeous! These only go up to a size 10, but still, you may want to keep that in mind when picking out your size; I had to go down 3 sizes, or 6" in hip size.
Of course the nice thing about Amazon is that you can just send back those that don't fit BUT a word to the wise, if you use their prepaid label, they nail you on the shipping cost (I had $5.78 deducted from my refund for sending back 1 pair of panties! Ouch!). It would be much cheaper to mail them back first class yourself from the Post Office.
Note: some colors are off on the display -
The "Ballet Pink" is really a light shell pink, closer to a very faint blush, very pretty, but not the bubblegum shade shown here. I would definitely buy this color again - it's my favorite pair of underwear now. Matter of fact, I just bought 3 more pairs of this tonight!
The "Rose Beige" is not as shown either; it's more like a golden light tan, or 'nude', pretty also but don't expect it to fall in the rose family.
All in all, $7.99 is a bargain for these. They are WONDERFUL. Highly recommended!

I had not planned to order this product, but ordered it to finish out the amount needed to get the shipping rate free. I am so glad I did! These are my new favorites! They are so comfortable and soft, I just love wearing them.
