When on sale, these are worth your money. I use to buy Victoria Secret panties but then switched to Fredrick's... and although they both recommend hand washing, I do not have the time to do so. Victoria secrets panties lasted me for wayyyy longer than my Fredrick's. I'm a bit disappointed because at regular price, I'm paying the same amount. Just because I'm shopping at a more expensive store (other than lets say, kohls or jcp) doesn't mean I have the luxury of being able to hand wash all my panties, hang dry them, and then press. (I'm being sarcastic- I'd never iron them). Anyways, besides that... they are very cute and Fredrick's has a WAY bigger selection to pick from.
