“They definitely don't make these socks like they used to!”

5/4/23

The new Hanes socks are cheaply made. Definitely very thin, you can literally see right through them. I'm give this 12 pack of socks away to the community center. Will NEVER waste my money on Hanes again!

“Elastic is pathetic and sizes are incorrect”

I purchased Men's underwear and lounge/sleep wear pants and shirt and the sizes are not even close. The elastic is pathetic. I have never had as many issues with an order as I had with this Hanes order ******8620. After spending $83.09 I will never purchase any of their clothing ever again! I will be placing this entire order in the trash!

My Father is 75 and has worn Hanes Tagless Briefs forever. Other family members also have worn Hanes tagless underwear for years. My Father recently opened a package of 5 tagless briefs and it was the most disgusting thing we have ever seen. There was some sort of slime in the bag and all 5 pairs were stained all over which actually resembles vomit and other bloody fluid stains. We almost vomited ourselves looking at it. See photos attached. This has never happened to any of us in our lifetime. I called customer service but because the product was purchased over 90 days ago they were unwilling to even listen to me. I still have the packaging but they were uninterested in making good on this. We are very disappointed. Who would think cotton underwear would have a 90 day warranty when it was still brand new in the package. I have packages of socks and underwear from the early 90s that were never opened and they are fine. The guy on the customer service line tried to blame us for the situation being that my Father had the underwear in his draw. He's had the same underwear draw literally for 50 years and nothing like this has ever occurred before. As I said Hanes was not interested in making this right, looking at any of my photos and or taking any information from the packaging. We've given them so much business over the years but no more. Unfortunately I do not have the original receipt. We will switch to Fruit of the Loom or another brand. Hanes obviously doesn't really care about their customers.

Your website plays pricing games and you know this. It changed the pricing 3 times. Also it was extremely difficult to get the 15% off. Also it was free shipping on orders over $50 and then that offer magically disappeared and so the shipping cost money too. No. One star only. Terrible website. Playing pricing games. Not nice. I would never recommend your website ordering to anyone. Nor will I ever use it again.

Tip for consumers:
If Hanes website didn’t do the old bait & switch things would have been fine.

I have been buying Hanes mens socks for over 30 years because they lasted at least a year (and I am hard on my socks). The last couple of years I am lucky to get 6 months wear out of a pair of their socks. I reached out to the company a few times concerning this matter and I was just ignored

I ordered a pack of 4 mid thought boxer briefs. Although they fit well & are comfortable, the waistband & seams started to come apart after several wearings. Disappointing for such a well known brand that's been around for so long.

I buy 2 packs of winter socks each year from Hanes. One's that wik the sweat from your feet. Usually they are good quality, not this year! They are so thin that you get one wear before your big toe comes though.
Yes I did clip my toe nail, it's not the problem. Other pairs of socks don't rip even last years Hanes.
They are using cheap materials to save money for their stockholders instead of looking after their customers.
I won't buy your cheap merchandise at your rip off prices.

I haven't had any problems when ordering bras from Hanes, other than slow shipping. But I recently purchased some socks for my husband that made his feet sweat profusely and stink, unlike previous pairs we had purchased from Hanes before. Seems the new Fresh IQ products aren't made with much cotton, but more polyester. Whose bright idea was it to make socks from polyester? When I wrote a bad review, it was never posted. Figures. Just like another person said, they sell defective products at the expense of the customer and don't guarantee the quality. I would love to be able to return these socks and get a refund, because my husband can't even wear them. I wouldn't even donate them to a poor person.

I bought 2 packages of underwear at Walmart half of them where messed up the crotch area not lining up. I thought to my you bought them from Walmart maybe they are irregular. So a couple months ago I brought 2 more packages again at Kohl's the same thing the seams on the hips are way off not even close in the crotch area. I am done buy these high priced low quality products. So tired of wasting money and time.

I have been wearing the microfiber hipsters for years. They were the most comfortable underwear ever. Yesterday I went and found them again. Same RN number *******. I bought 20 pairs and came home and threw them in the washer. The quality is horrible. Hanes changed the elastic on leg holes and band to thin cheaper elastic and stitching is unraveling. So disappointed. Do yourselves a favor and don't buy these.

Spent $244.86 while vacationing in Virginia, returned home, opened and tried the various products and the quality was awful. Went to local store (Ellenton, FL), where they REFUSED to refund. Attempted contact with the store manager to no avail, attempted national customer service with no response, called corporate and even the executive office and left 3 voice messages on different dates and times, approximately 1-2 weeks apart. All efforts fell on deaf ears. Disgusted customer.

I used to love Hanes underwear I have worn Hanes for over 30 years. Sadly their new underwear is so low quality and cheap feeling. The elastic waist band part is much thinner so very painful on my waist now compared to my older Hanes underwear I still own to compare. Fabric is much cheaper quality, rough and scratchy on skin. Very disappointed in Hanes I have worn only their underwear for almost my whole life and now I need to find a new brand sadly unless they change

I've been a loyal Haines guys for years. I wear socks once and buy more. How disappointing I can't buy my old socks. These new ones are made of something besides cotton. THEY SUCK. So tight on my legs. I'm 6'2" 210lbs. I'm not even fat. Why is it digging into my legs. I take my socks off and you can count the sock ridges per fiber on my skin.
HOW DISAPPOINTING. You all really dropped the ball to save money.
SHAME ON YOU HAINES. YOUR SOCKS ARE WORTHY OF BEING USED AS TOILET PAPER POOP TICKETS

Placed an order, called because I got no update. Was told ny order was canceled because the items were not in stock but that they were in stock now so I could replace my order. I did so, over the phone, and then about an hour later I saw an email came through saying this order was canceled, too. Online it only shows size small is out of stock. I ordered size XL and size Med. In two different colors. So four items which are all saying they're in stock online but somehow none of them are? Two different ladies I spoke with told me that the items that I had ordered previously, that were canceled, we're back in stock now. Why? When I place the first order if they weren't in stock then why not fix your website, then? As of right now you can go on to the website and it still shows the items are in stock. Btw, I still haven't received the first email from the first order, that the order was canceled. Now I'm out $50 for however long it takes it to get back into my account. Considering I haven't received even an email about the first order, I don't know... I've learned my lesson about this online store. Now if they can ship my order to me I will change this review but we'll see!

Tip for consumers:
If something's out of stock show online it's out of stock. Especially after someone has attempted to purchase these items multiple times. I'm sure I'm not the only one so why are they still being shown as available online?!?!

Used Hanes for twenty years, but things have changed. Eco Smart sweatshirts equal trash and may as well be called disposable, since they pill and are embarassing to wear after literally only one wash. Sizes are not consistent; I know this because I kept giving these sweatshirts a chance and purchased more and was privy to see the inconsistency of sizes. After many repeat purchases of the eco smart sweatshirts, I have thoroughly concluded the ecosmart sweatshirts are truly disposable trash after one wash. Soft- not after one wash because they are bumpy and rough with so many pills. If you can afford to wear disposable sweatshirts which you must trash after one wash, then this is your company.

On November 3 of 2021 I went to Walmart in Mulberry and bought a 10 pack of Hanes boxer briefs underwear extra-large. After just a few hours of wearing the underwear I had huge blisters all over the area the underwear touched. They burnt the skin, it blistered and even in some places I was bleeding. I have pictures to prove it. Hanes refuse to talk to me. Front, back, side and underneath. It's time to get a lawyer! The rest of the pictures I cannot show.

I bought a pack of 10 cushion ankle socks at Walmart. The pairs matched up has one small one and one a little larger. I wore one pair after much stretching and after I washed them they are so small even a small child would have trouble wearing them. I am very dissatisfied with them. I am on Social Security and I don't have money to be wasting on trash products like this. I don't know how to upload a copy of my receipt.

Hanes Comfortsoft Hipsters are the worst underwear I've ever had. They say No Ride Up, yet there's no elastic in the leg bands. The waist band isn't very stretchy at all. Hanes.com doesn't have a spot in Customer Service to register a complaint. The quality of their products has been going downhill for many years now. I won't buy them anymore.
