I’m not sensitive to wearing non cotton panties. I just prefer cotton for the air wicking/ breathable benefits for my lady parts haha. since I work long hr shifts and workout. I chose amazon basics bc I wanted black panties, cotton, bikini, and affordable. I ordered XL. I wear size XL in Victoria secret sizing but I can also fit a L. Typically I wear size L for leggings.\nI wanted the underwear to fit comfortable and I knew I’d wash and dry them. Which I did as soon as they arrived and no snagging happened. They looked and felt the same as when they arrived.\n\nI’m a size 14/16 in jeans\nI’m about 48” around my booty and 44” around my belly pooch aka the lower belly pouch that is hard to freaking loose hahaha. Around my actual waist which around my naval is 41”\n\nHope these measurements help!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Amazon, don't change this product. Don't add more polyester. Don't mess around trying to save money by making the product cheaper. Just charge more if you have to. I once wore a brand of Hanes as my comfort underwear, they were like butter. But Hanes changed the recipe and the replacement was like margarine. 4 years. I looked for 4 years. I wasted so much money looking for underwear. Now, here it is. A great pair of underwear that is not $15 a pair.\nThank you Amazon."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Thank you, Amazon. It only took about 8 years, but I'm now back to feeling bliss again in my cotton undies. I guess I can officially throw away the 10-year old V. Secret undies I've been hoarding since they changed their style to one that only 6-year old girls can wear. My husband thanks you for that. These undies are incredibly comfy and WILL NOT RIDE UP. I am 44 and wear a size 6/8 with a real booty, and the medium fits great. The elastic doesn't feel like it's even there, but believe me it works. Yes, they show a panty line. If anyone tells you they don't, then they are either lying or are wearing very baggy pants. I don't wear them under tight pants - thats what thongs are for. I do, however, put them on immediately after coming home from work and when I'm wearing looser clothing. They're also a dream to sleep in. They get softer as you wash them. I've bought every package of these that Amazon offers and was tickled pink to see they finally added a pack of only black. My only negative is the look (which luckily just doesn't matter so much to me since I'm not an underwear model.) To me, they are a cross between bikinis and lower briefs. The band on the side is much wider than typical bikinis, but I'm guessing that might be why the fit across the butt is perfect. My pictures are of one pair of washed undies so you see what they look like in real life. So, Amazon....please don't go changing things. Don't put spandex in and cut the back so they look like bad thongs that real women can't wear. Please keep them just the way they are and make a million more colors. I will continue to buy them and hoard them like the 80s. Bye Bye, Vic's Secret. I'm too old for you."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I have been on a cotton bikini cut underwear quest since Gilligan & O’Malley stopped offering the cotton bikini I’ve grown so accustomed to for many years. For a while I found some Vanity Fair on Amazon that were comparable, but they are now scarce to find in stock, I’ve tried the packaged brands - fruit of the loom, Hanes, etc... and I find them to be weirdly baggy in odd places, too snug in others. I’ve tried a few other brands and most of them end up in the trash because they don’t fit well.\nLook, I’m a 49 year old mother and baking enthusiast who specializes in bagels and breads. You can read between the lines on that detail. In other words, I’m not looking for thongs or lacy panties. I want cotton underwear. Underwear that stay up, don’t bind, don’t cut off circulation in my legs or make me feel like they are too snug in the waist. I want underwear I can wear and not think about. Functional, not showy, but not full granny panties. So after receiving yet another shipment of disappointing and poorly cut underwear I decided to give these a try. First impression out of the package was that these seem close...very close, to what I was looking for. They looked a bit large, but I tried them on because, hey, I like baking....a lot so sizing up is generally the right call. The amount of coverage is more substantial that other brands I’ve tried. Mixed bag as they may actually come up a tad too high, just up over the bagel, chocolate, and bread storage area. In reality I could probably go down one size and that might remedy this. The leg holes have a mildly scratchy elastic I’m not so sure about. I put them all in the washer to see if they soften and shrink a bit. Overall my first thoughts on this product are that this is as close to the old G&O’M cotton bikinis as I have found, so therefore it is possible that Amazon Essentials just won. Proof will be in the full day’s wear and the washes that follow.\n\nUpdate: 5 stars. Amazon Essentials just won the underwear quest war! These underwear are perfect. I’ve worn them for several days and washed them a few times to determine comfort and durablility. They are great. Perfect cotton underwear for normal women who don’t want anything fancy, just comfort and proper fit, but not total granny panties either. I’m inclined to buy ten more now.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'These are garbage. It’s too bad because they are comfortable, fit good, and a good price. I washed the whole pack prior to wearing and they started falling apart in that first wash. Each wash they unravel more and more. Very disappointing.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'These underwear are so cheap that they started to fall apart after two or three washes. I am meticulous about my laundry and often find that I can extend the life of my clothes for 20 or more years. So I do not say this lightly: these underwear are the WORST quality I have ever owned.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Several months ago, I purchased some new cotton bikini underwear and prefer them over other, more revealing styles. I\'m a mom and I\'ve discovered I prefer comfort over style so cotton bikinis suit me really well! I saw these underwear and I\'ll admit, I was a bit skeptical because I wondered if they would be good quality or not. I have some items from the Amazon Basics line and like them so I figured I\'d give these a try.\n\nThe Amazon Essentials Cotton Bikini underwear come in a six-pack and you can currently choose from two styles: basic assorted and fashion assorted. The basic assorted package comes with the following colors: two white, one light pink, one light purple, one black, and one black and white stripe. The fashion assorted package contains: one salmon color, one navy, one navy and white stripe, one light purple, one white with black polka dots, and one white with black flowers. These underwear are made of 95% cotton and 5% elastane. You can machine wash in warm water and tumble dry low. These are made in Sri Lanka.\n\nI initially ordered the basic assorted package and liked them enough that I immediately ordered the fashion assorted package as well. The underwear are very soft and comfortable! I really like the variety of colors and I would buy more if they decided to provide more colors. I\'ve washed these underwear several times now according to the instructions and I didn\'t notice any shrinking. The stitching looks like good quality and I love that they don\'t ride up, which means these will work nicely when I exercise! I usually wear yoga pants and notice slight panty lines but they are hardly noticeable if you aren\'t looking for them. The bikini style sits comfortably at my hip and the band at the waist measures 2 3/8 inches. For size reference, I am 5\'6", 165 pounds with a bit of a belly after having my twins and I purchased the large size which fit perfectly. I generally wear a 10 or 12 in pants and am glad I purchased the large.\n\nI am happy I found these because they are incredibly comfortable. When I wear them, I actually hardly notice I\'m wearing them because they are so light and comfortable! If Amazon decided to make more of these in different colors, I will definitely buy those as well. If you are looking for a good-quality, inexpensive and comfortable option to very expensive underwear, these are it! If these don\'t last as long as I\'d like, I will update this review. Until then, I recommend these underwear because they are some of the most comfortable underwear I\'ve owned and they don\'t cost an arm and a leg!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Man... this underwear has been one disappointment after another. Idk how they got an average of 4 stars on amazon unless amazon did something to modify the review ratings... which makes me question every product with amazon’s label.\n\nI originally bought these thinking that they were seamless (because that’s what I searched when looking for underwear). My bad -.-! They’re not. And I thought “that’s okay, I needed new underwear anyways”\n\nOh\n\nBut\nI\nWas WRONG.\n\nAfter 2 washes they all started fraying at the seams. If you look at other 1 star peoples’ photos, mine are just like there’s.\n\nThen I read (after buying) that some people were short changed and got a bad with 1-2 pairs missing!\n\nGotta go check mine now... hmm... some of them are in the dirt clothes... will count later.\n\nWhat have I learned....?\nRead 1 star people reviews before next purchase of amazon products.\n\nBuy these again?\nNever!\n\nPs. I bought the extra small black ones.\nHowever from other reviews it would seem that the color wasn’t a factor in the poor quality.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Okay this is going to be a super frank and honest review about body odor. Smelling bad down there has been something that I’ve felt with for a long time. I’m very clean, wipe properly, shower everyday, I’ve seen the doctor about BV, yeast infections, etc and always been assured that everything is normal and I’m healthy. All good and fine but the fact that I can almost always smell myself through my pants was 100% my biggest I security. Until recently I had no idea the impact that synthetic fabrics can have on your lady bits. After some reading I decided to give this underwear a try since it’s 95% cotton. After two days of wearing them it dawned on me that I hadn’t smelled myself once and I had been squatting and running around and sitting with legs spread on the couch, just enjoying my life without being self conscious! I cried. This was the missing piece. I wanted to write this review because I was hoping to see a review with a similar problem that I had, well here you go. If you are at a loss but haven’t tried cotton undies yet, please do yourself a favor and try them. ❤️ Hope this helps someone!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'When I searched Amazon for my regular brand panties, Amazon cleverly directed me to their Basics brand, so I decided to give them a try. I am really glad that I did! I think I have a new favorite panty!\n\nWhen I received them, I had to double check the fabric contents to confirm that they’re cotton. That 5% of elastane makes them look and feel much more like nylon/spandex and they don’t have the slight bulk you get with 100% cotton. They are thin, a bit silky, very stretchy, and although they are 95% cotton, they add virtually zero thickness under your clothing. They fit perfectly, do not ride up, and are very comfortable.\n\nAnd you cannot beat the average price of $2 each ($20 for 10 pair). Wow—what a bargain!\n\nI hope Amazon does not change these at all.\n\nFor reference, I usually wear a size 6 in panties, am 5 feet tall and weigh 124. I bought a medium and they fit perfectly.\n\nI write honest reviews to help others make informed purchases because I read reviews myself and appreciate how helpful they can be. I hope that my review helped you!'}]
