Amazon EssentialsWomen's Cotton Bikini Brief Underwear (Available in Plus Size), Multipacks

I previously bought these and the are comfy, true to size and wash well. Also the colours are nice shades. I've tumbled dried them on a cool wash and they didn't shrink. The second pack seems to be the same quality.

This product runs really small.I have ordered other amazon essentials underwear in the past 7+ years and I don't recall them running as small, not sure if they have changed, or it varies by the cut/style.I ordered the cotton bikini pack in a 12, I wear a UK 10 in most jeans/skirts/shorts from most typical brands (Next, Asos, Zara, H&M, etc), and these are very tight and small on me. I am also slim in my legs/bum area, with more weight in my tummy/boobs areas, if anything, so if I gain a little weight my legs/bum is the last place it goes. I was quite surprised to see I'd ordered a 12 and they were so small for me. They must run super small unless it was a manufacturing issue, or this specific type runs really small. I recommend to size up at least 1 if not 2 sizes, and if you have larger bottom and legs, definitely at least 2 sizes larger, as the leg holes can also be unpleasantly tight!The looks of the colours, fabric, etc, are all fine, it's mostly the sizing that I find bad about this product.

Comfortable and worth buying

Comfortable

I like these because there cotton, but the elastic waistband is slightly tight so you can notice the seam if you wear tight trousers

Prompt delivery, as described. Fits well, launders well

They come in a wide variety of colours to suit most peoples taste and they're good value.

I so wanted to give these a 5* as they are lovely soft fabric and great value for money, but the sizing has utterly flummoxed me! I’m a standard dress size 6-8, and having read the reviews was encouraged to upsize to a 12… let’s be honest ladies, there’s nothing worse than that ‘double bum’ effect, or the extra hip-roll caused by too tight pants.Anyway, you might as well entirely ignore the UK 8/10/12 etc, as these knickers do not come in those sizes, instead they come in XS/S/M/LI suspect (but don’t know for sure as the sizing guide is wholly incorrect) that 6/8 get sent an XS and 10/12 get sent S. To get these in a M you will probably need to order a 16 one presumes.Now bearing in mind I am less than 50 kilos and size 6-8 in jeans, plus I have a typically uninteresting and relatively flat “white-girl” booty, I couldn’t get over how very tiny these pants really are… I ordered a 12 and received a SMALL, and they are most definitely too small, creating all the unsightly bulges you could ever imagine. Hey-ho, they look like they will make good dusters.If they were only that bit larger they would be lovely, as fabric and cut very nice.I was tempted to order some more in a 14 (which is 3 or 4 sizes UP from my usual 6/8) but I’ve no idea whether this would equate to a M which I suspect is the size I will actually fit into. Concerned that I may get a L if I went to a 16, who knows?I had a little laugh to myself whilst considering how minuscule these pants would’ve been if I’d ordered my actual size… No doubt I’d have been sent an XS, which are only feasible for tiny children or perhaps my cat. Sadly, I cannot persuade the cat even to wear the existing ones, or I would have a photo to make this review a lot more interesting.
