No Fashion Statement- Just Pure Cotton Comfort
Share and Enjoy:
I’ve been wearing the same underwear for 40 years! O, well, not the same pair... just the same style. I’m really allergic to polyester, and nylon and elastic aren’t so great either. I seem to be able to tolerate the elastic from a waistband, but just can’t abide elastic at the leg holes.
Do you know how hard it is to find good, cotton, band leg briefs? JC Penney has been holding out for decades, continuing to sell this style. I have to wonder how many women really buy them, and how long it will be before they cave in to the probable reality that this style is a low percentage of their revenue. But some of us really need these, and so far, every time I’ve needed new ones they’ve still been available.
In all the years I’ve been buying them, only once have they been less than top quality. One package had bad waistband elastic that shredded before the fabric wore out, and I think it must have been a fluke, because subsequent pairs have been fine.
They are full cut, and made of 100% combed cotton, with a cotton band leg, and double crotch panel. There is a tag sewed into the side seam. This usually doesn’t seem to irritate, but could easily be cut out without damaging the garment. They are currently offered in three size ranges with three sizes in each range: Misses 5-7, Misses 8-10, and Plus 11-13. They are offered in 6-packs of white only or a mixed package of 2 pink, 2 nude, and 2 white. Full price is $24-28 for the 6-pack, but they are often on sale. I recently paid $18 for the 6-pack.

I personally think these would be so comfy. I might just look into them for my next pregnancy and as the undies I wear when hubby is out of town.
I have to say I have long since reached the point in my life was comfort is the most important thing. I will have to go by the local JC Penny store and look for these.
Sounds so comfy. I am beyond the age of worrying about how sexy my undies look. I just want comfortable. Thanks.
These do sounds very comfortable abd reasonably priced. I believe that if it's not comfortable why buy it. I wear all styles of underwear personally so good job for you for supporting this brand. As long as they are comfy whoo cares what they look like!
They sound comfortable. I know what you mean about them not selling these anymore though. I use to buy underware from Walmart that was called something like "the most comfortable underware" and you can't get it anymore. I'd stock up on these if I were you:0)
When you find comfortable underwear it is a grand day because so many now are not made with comfort in mind. I wear these also and love them. Thanks for sharing the detailed information. Maybe we can keep them going so they never stop suppling us with our comfortable underwear.
I love these Sharkey. I buy them in the hipster style, they fit perfectly, are soft cool and oh so comfortable. Next to Jockey's, these are my favorites!
Comfort is everything. If these are your favorites...you better stock up. I hate it when they discontinue products after you fall in love with something!
Its all about comfort and value.
