How It Works

What is Hanesbrands Inc.’s Hanesbrands Inc. Sampling Program?

Hanesbrands Inc.’s Hanesbrands Inc. Sampling Program enables a group of Hanesbrands Inc. 's customers to try products in exchange for honest reviews. Reviews help other customers make educated purchase decisions. You've been invited to join Hanesbrands Inc. Sampling Program community based on the trust you've earned in the community for writing accurate and insightful reviews or your involvement in one of Hanesbrands Inc.'s trusted digital communities.

Since Hanesbrands Inc. Sampling Program Members sometimes receive access to products that are not yet available on the market, your opinions could be among the first Hanesbrands Inc. receives. When products are not yet available on retailer sites, we'll save your reviews and post them once they are.

Hanesbrands Inc. does not influence the opinions of Hanesbrands Inc. Sampling Program members. All reviews collected through this program will be labeled as such on retailer sites.
