Underalls
Originally founded 1976, Underalls was a brand of undergarments for women manufactured by the Hanes hosiery and underwear company of North Carolina and marketed in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The original product was noted for being a combination of pantyhose and panties together, to prevent panty lines. These also had different trademarked variations, such as Slenderalls, Coloralls, Summeralls, and Winteralls. Underalls continued to offer pantyhose until the halt of production in the early 1990s.
