Have worn these briiefs for several years. Great staple. While I haven't actually counted, I would bet they have been washed almost 100 times and while a little faded, are going strong in fit. The fit is similar to a boy short, just as pictured. The cotton is somfortable and the lace lays flat so no panty line. Personally being a "special size" (XXS in clothing), love that they still come in sizes when many styles and brands are moving away from being offered with that option.
