I am happy to rate the Martex pants as five out of five in every aspect....fit, comfort, effectiveness and ease of laundering. This was, actually a 'repeat order' as my husband has found the three I originally ordered very useful so I wanted a further three so as I don't have to wash and dry each pair daily. My local 'disability store' only sells similar pants in white which we don't find a sensible colour, long term, so we are delighted that the Martex ones come in black ( and in a good size range).
