G'day Steve! We're glad the undies are comfy for you. Yes, they are manufactured in China, but all the design, packing & marketing happens here in Victoria! They're also made by a team of people who have worked with us for a long time and are like a second family to us at Secret Face! Also... not to counter you butttt we are actually cheaper than 11 out of 12 brands operating here in Aus and pride ourselves on the longevity of our undies, we think you will be too in 6 months (; We hope to see you again as a customer legend!!
