The items arrived in a timely manner, and appear to be good quality. However, they are not the items shown in the photos, thus not what I ordered.I purchased Sloggi underwear when I was in Europe a few years ago and fell in love with these briefs. Sloggi is a great product. The briefs are firm and smooth, very comfortable to wear, just great cotton quality. I normally wear 6-7 US size, which is equivalent to 46, European.Person useThe sizing is really messed up. The sizes are way too big and they don't convert US to UK sizes well. (The product is only sold in European and UK sizes, even when you order an American size from Amazon.com.) I sent the product back and asked for an EXCHANGE, specifically requesting that they send me a US Size 12 (which is a UK Size 16). Two e-mails later, and I still can't get the company to give me an exchange. The service representative told me to order the same product from Amazon.co.uk. if I wanted a US Size 12/UK Size 16. I am SO FRUSTRATED. Seriously? I love sloggi underwear and really wish I could order some without the drama. I have worn them for 10 years. Oh well, I will wait until I am back in London later next year to buy some more.cant beat a new pair of sloggers and I got 3 xxxThe supplier sent a size bigger than I had ordered. Otherwise I have worn Sloggis for years and love them.I waited forever for this to arrive and was so disappointed when it didn't fit. The size is probably 2 sizes smaller than what you order. I purchased these underwear when we were in Italy and loved them so I thought I would be fine ordering the same size. NOT! I wear a size 14/16 and the XL is of a size 8/10. So, I just spent $50.00 CAD on a product that doesn't fit.Exactly as expected, I am very pleased with the fit.I have been buying Sloggi undies for 20 years as I usually find them the most comfortable but this is the 1st time I have purchased the Basic ones (Usually have the Tai or Double Comfort Maxi Brief) but couldn't find my usual's in stock anywhere. iIt is also the 1st time I have bought them from Amazon rather than my catalogue. I am a size 12-14 (depending on what I'm buying) but ordered a 16 as I dont like anything too tight around the tops of my legs....couldnt have been more wrong. The elastic around my legs was so tight I was only able to wear them for a couple of hours before they were too painful. They left a deep red indent. At the same time I managed to get 1 pair of the Double Comfort Maxi from my catalogue and these fit perfectly and so comfortable. It has occurred to me that maybe these are a knock off but it could just be that they were the Basic range. I cant return them as they are underwear but will go without rather than buy the Basic ones again.Arrived on time, on opening grey plastic covering I discovered the pants were not packaged in the usual sloggi box but folded together with no covering and the box was underneath them folded into a square. I also found the usual size/washing label was not stitched into material as usual in sloggi pants but was held on by one black stitch, the label was also 2 inches long by over 2 inches wide folded into 4 on all the pants. Very strange, I had to remove these labels as they were very uncomfortable to wear. Why were the pants removed and not repackaged ?, why the strange label. I have bought sloggi pants for many many years and first time this has happened.Purchased this for my wife who is a big sloggi fan. Lots of support comfort etc. Saw these on Amazon at the price and thought I would give them a go. Arrived next day and the quality is so poor, after a trial fit the elastic and shape has already gone.Apart from being a size too small compared to everyone else they just dont feel like sloggi. More like a cheap knock off but everything appears real.Just more questions than answers.Having read other reviews I ordered a size up from my usual (last ones lasted me ages so thought sizing may have changed) and still these new ones barely fit, despite the older supposedly smaller ones fitting perfectly. Material is also very noticeably thinner. They arrived rattling lose in the plastic amazon packaging, the Sloggi box was completely flat, open and unsealed at both ends and empty, just rattling around. I feel these may not be genuine and shan't risk further purchases.Not the most flattering of underwear, but they have no VPL and don't move when wearing underneath dresses without tights for the summer. I bought them for dancing (north-west morris) which involves lots of high kicks and energy - unlike a lot of shorts-style underwear that I've tried, they didn't ride up your bum. The best bit was that while the rest of me was a sweaty mess at the end of a really hot summer's day dancing at a festival, they seem to be moisture-wicking and airy, leaving me without a sweaty crotch! Will definitely be buying more of these.
