Hanes Review

Underwear is a big deal in our house. Sure there can be tons of clean underwear in my older son's (OS) dresser drawer, but if it's not the "right" underwear, well then there may as well be no underwear drawer. The Parent Bloggers Network announced that they were looking for people to review Hanes underwear and socks as part of Hanes Comfort Fit Promise which guarantees a comfortable fit or you get your money back.

My 4.5 year old wore a pair of the underwear the first morning after they arrived. He put them on with little fuss. There was no tag to irritate his skin. The material is soft and durable. I know that last part seems weird, but we have underwear from a certain chain store that is thin and a little rough. After a couple of washings you can basically see through them in spots. The Hanes underwear has double stitching on the seams. OS's only complaint was that there were no fun pictures on them. They are plain white with a gray waistband that does not chafe the skin. In addition to the comfort fit guarantee, this underwear is also guaranteed to not ride up. Their words! Otherwise you get your money back.

We also received a package of boxers. Again the boxers appear to be well made. They were in a "big boy" designs meaning plaid prints. Again they are tagless with the comfortable waistband, and the fly doesn't open. The same money back guarantee applies to the boxers. Doesn't get much better than that! Unfortunately, OS wanted nothing to do with them as he is quite satisfied with his briefs.

The third item I received was a package of Premium custom fit Boys' Crew socks. If you know me in real life, you might know how much I hate boys socks. My experience with them is that they shrink after a month's of washing so they no longer fit, requiring you to have to buy more. Unfortunately the next size remains too large even after shrinkage so you end up buying the same size that caused you grief in the first place. Those rare socks that continue to fit for a month get thinned out in the heels and are generally gross. I rarely hand socks down to my younger son. At least he will never be in therapy saying "And I didn't even get my own socks!!!". However, I would prefer that it would be from choice. Most of all I would like to not have to continually replace my son's socks. The Hanes socks are very well made. They are thick and comfortable and have a reinforced heel and toe. We have yet to find any thinning spots. The gray heel and toe hide the dirt that may exact on my infrequently mopped floors. The tops of the socks are also made to stay up all day and to hold up all school year. Once again there is a money back guarantee.

Overall, I'm very happy with these products. Can I say one more time money back guarantee?
Stop by the Parent Bloggers Network on August 22nd and you might win Hanes for your child.
