    I’ve had the same underwear for about 10 years. The elastic eventually wears out and you have to sew them to become “fitted”

      I quit using a dryer. Hang drying will help elastics last longer. Though it still breaks eventually.

      When you repair them, are you sewing new elastic onto them? i thought about just threading a shoe lace since some boxers us that drawstring design anyway.

        No, I just fold it over on top of itself in two places (left hip and right hip) and sew so they fit me perfectly
