I usually wear knix, but needed something for a trip (more bladder control than menstrual issues at my age) and Amazon could get this to me me faster. So I'm comparing these to knix which cost $20-40 a pair but are they excellent quality and last wash after wash with weekly wear for 2-3 years. These Hanes have a nice fit, like any underwear of this nature, the first time you put them on they feel weird, but after you're used to it, they wear great. No one can tell you're wearing anything different. So far I'm happy with how dry and effective they are (again I wear these when I don't have access to a restroom for hours at a time at work or on road trips). I got the light protection which is a little thicker than knix. I was disappointed I ordered the assorted 3 pack but got a 3 Pack of all black. I wear a lot of white or light clothing so this limits their usefulness for me personally. Since I got three pair for less than the cost of one pair of knix... It's a good deal if they last at least a year. Four stars because it was difficult to find my size, style, and colors of choice so I settled for what was available so I'll still order my knix, but if these hold up well, then I'll keep looking for what I want and try again.To Hanes... Study knix marketing because they get it, we want to feel like we're moving dels no matter what instead of awkward teenagers who only wear black clothes for fear of accidents or lack of confidence.
