Okay, so I finally caved and tried these Amazon Essentials undies after seeing mixed reviews. Here's my take!
First off, the comfort level is INSANE. Like, forget-you're-wearing-them level comfy. The cotton is super soft and the high waist actually stays in place (no rolling down!).
I'm usually between sizes and went with my larger size - perfect decision. They have just the right amount of stretch without being baggy. Plus size friendly for sure!
BUT... after about 5 washes, I noticed some loose threads on one pair. Not a dealbreaker for me since they were so affordable, but worth mentioning.
The coverage is amazing if you're self-conscious about your tummy area. They give that nice smooth look under clothes without being restrictive.
For the price? 100% worth it even if they don't last forever. I'll definitely repurchase - just maybe not make them my ONLY underwear rotation.
Pro tip: Air dry them to make them last longer!
