Hanes Toddler Underwear Review and GIVEAWAY!!!

· by · 212 Comments

Darah has fully owned her underwear collection. She loves the ritual of picking out her new underwear from her basket. I’ve noticed that she likes having a variety of solids and prints, and she really does choose whatever suits her mood.

She spends most of the mornings that we are at home in just a top and her undies. She seems to prefer this most casual attire, and I don’t mind. It’s warm inside the house, and if she’s more comfortable that way, then that’s fine with me!

We just received some new underwear from Hanes, and I’m excited to tell you about them. These are the Hanes Tagless Toddler Girls 100% Cotton Briefs. They come in a package of 6 for $6.50, which is an excellent buy! And as you read in their name, they are TAGLESS!!! This is a very nice feature for comfort. The only drawback is that it does make learning how to put on your underwear a little bit trickier. All the tag information is on the underwear, but because it isn’t on a tag, it’s a little bit harder for a young one to find. You’ll just have to determine if it is more important to have an easily identified tag or to have a toddler who doesn’t complain of something scratching him/her! I really think what you need just depends on your child.

One other fantastic feature of this toddler underwear is that it is guaranteed not to ride up! No wedgies for your little one! I have definitely found this to be true for Darah, and that’s one reason I’d give this underwear a big endorsement.

If you have a toddler boy, Hanes also has a line of tagless underwear for boys, too!

The sizing for the underwear is 2/3T or 4T. I was very concerned that a 2/3T would be enormous on Darah, but I haven’t found that to be the case. They are a little bit big, but we’ve had no problems with them drooping or falling off. Basically, she just has a bit of room to grow, which is nice for the budget!

I would definitely recommend Hanes as a great resource for toddler underwear at affordable prices! Here’s a list of retailers that carry Hanes!

Hanes Comfort Flex Waistband Boxers Review

· by · 1 Comment

So my husband is a boxers guy. He says he has been for as long as he can remember. For years, I would be on the lookout for great deals on boxers. I would always feel like I hit the jackpot when I would find them on mega-clearance for $4/pair at Banana Republic. They had some cool prints, but the truth is, those boxers wore out (especially in the waistband) just like everything else. Just because they were more expensive didn’t mean they were higher quality!

Tim LOVES to wear Hanes t-shirts (please tell me you have checked out their lay flat collar undershirts!), but he’s never really tried their boxers. Until now! For the past month, he has been putting Hanes boxers with the Comfort Flex Waistband to the test, and they have passed with flying colors for us both. Tim likes the fact that they are tagless, which means they don’t ever itch. This is especially nice since he rides his bike to work every day, and the tags on other boxers can irritate him during his commute. The waistband is designed to move with you, and best of all, to hold its shape (this is the key problem he has with boxers). So far, so good!
And perhaps best of all…the price! Hanes sells a set of 3 boxers with the comfort flex waistband for $9! That’s better than the “deal” I normally look out for (which I haven’t found in the past year…sorry, honey).

I’m not sure why I never tried Hanes for Tim’s underwear before now. We’ve always been impressed with the quality as well as the price for their shirts. Now I know to look to them for great deals on quality boxers, and I don’t have to wait for any special sale to stock up! Great job, Hanes!

Win it!: Hanes wants to send one lucky Stuff Parents Need reader (or their significant other!) a pair of Hanes underwear with a comfort flex waistband. You can choose a boxer, brief or a boxer-brief! The contest will run until October 6th at 11:59pm EST when a winner will be selected using Random.org. The winner will have 48 hours to respond to the winning notification before the prize is forfeited and a new winner is selected. Open to residents of the United States. Limit one entrant per household, please.

Mandatory entry: Tell me which style of underwear you find to be the most comfortable, either for yourself or that your loved one likes the most (for example: I would answer boy shorts as my favs).

Bacon Neck: What is It? How to Avoid It

· by · Leave a Comment

Does your significant other like to wear Hanes shirts? They are Tim’s very favorite brand. I think it’s because they tend to last longer and have an overall nicer feel than most of the other brands he has tried.

I recently learned about a brand new undershirt that Hanes is putting out, and it is definitely something that Tim needs in his wardrobe! Check out the new Hanes commercial featuring Michael Jordan and the Hanes Lay Flat Collar Undershirts! (The commercial is funny, I promise you’ll like it!)

So the idea of this shirt is that the collar doesn’t stretch out and wrinkle/crinkle and then look terrible under a collared shirt (especially one that hasn’t been buttoned all the way). I thought it was hilarious to refer to this as “bacon neck.” Tim wears dress shirts without ties almost every single day at work, and it would be great to have a set of shirts that he could count on to look good under them.

Look for the “lay flat collar” from Hanes in order to avoid bacon neck!
