Review on Cotton High Waist Women'S Underwear Multipack - Full Coverage Soft Comfortable Briefs Panty By UMMISS by Jay Lopez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I wanted to love these.

I'm "apple-shaped" and wear a 4X in pants. I bought the largest size of these and was so hoping these underwear were going to be my new functional favorites. Alas.PRO: Nice, stretchy fabric, lots of colorsCON: Not the full-coverage they claimedFor my shape, these undies don't cover my round behind and they ride up when sitting down. They do go up high in the back so that's good. They are too narrow in the gusset and in the lower front to be useful with a larger pad or to cover a large mons pubis. Finally, these briefs do not come up to my bellybutton as advertised, not even close. The wide band at the top is nice and prevents them slipping down, but still not the coverage shown in the photos. I don't imagine these would be suitable as maternity underwear for many plus-sized women unless they wore them backwards. Actually, I tried that to see if wearing them backwards would give me the fuller coverage in the front, and it did. But then the back was almost like a wide thong and very uncomfortable.I'm considering cutting/sewing together two pairs of these underwear, using two back pieces to make the front and back, then using some fabric from the front pieces to widen the gusset. At least that way I'll get some useable panties out of this order.This idea came from first wearing two pair, one of them backwards, to try for full coverage and support. That worked pretty well but was a little uncomfortable.Every woman has her own shape, sadly underwear manufacturers have yet to really figure that out. Making a larger version of the same panty pattern is not the solution to this issue.

Pros
  • smooth fit, washes wonderfully, holds its color well.
Cons
  • Could cause static cling
