Let’s Find This Reader Some Underwear!

As someone who has a big booty, I cannot recommend Target underwear (I have tried every style
and they all ride somewhere they shouldn’t) or SOMA for that same reason. However, surprisingly Patagonia and REI both stayed in place with my wide and round butt.

I think inner wearables should be comfortable and breathable. It is essential for these portions that should be taken care of. Do you believe eco-friendly materials can be used for this purpose?

+1 for Arq underwear! I bought some as a result of this post and I LOVE it. It is so flattering and comfortable. I love lounging around in it, doing yoga, and I even wore it to my ballet class! I wish they made bikini cut underwear too because I would be all over it.

Hey, what is the underwear in the pic at the top?

Girlfriend Collective makes the best underwear everrrrr!!! I’ve tried so many brands – Parade, Aerie, Victoria’s Secret, Target, etc. but Girlfriend is by far the best.

COSABELLA all the way, specifically the never say never lowrise boyshort. These sexy undies are seriously THE.MOST.COMFORTABLE lace underwear ever, and I’ve tried everything. They look amazing on and actually last (though you definitely don’t want to toss them into the dryer). and I even wore them through both pregnancies! They’re a little pricey but I slowly bought three at a time until I finally was able to have a week’s worth of these gorgeous undies! p.s. my husband is a big fan as well ;-)

There’s a wonderful small shop called Make A Difference Intimates (MADI) that makes undies of all shapes and sizes out of bamboo. They are naturally dyed in beautiful soft hues. For each pair purchased, a pair is provided to a women’s shelter (they rotate which ones they send to). The women who make the underwear are locally based and paid living wages. The underwear are also extremely comfortable, I have many pairs!

My favourite underwear are from Blue Sky Clothing – they’re high rise made out of bamboo and called La Gaunche: https://blueskyclothingco.com/collections/women-underwear

I have similar requirements and am liking Icebreaker’s siren bikini briefs. I used to love smartwool’s undies, and I still do, but these are my favorites. Ibex has a great pair of briefs too, but they’re not the most seamless (they’re not awful though, depending on what you wear.) They’re a little more high-waisted than I prefer. The Sirens are my fave right now

Videris is amazing!

Also seconding all the comments about Boody =)

Thunderpants! After 3 full pregnancies and more ice cream sandwiches than I care to admit, every other pair of underwear rolls under my belly and just hangs out there leaving me feeling floppy and unkempt. Thundies come in two styles, I wear the original high waist. No wedgies ever, no rolling down.

Size inclusive and welcoming and organic!

They’re made in Portland, OR and are a female owned company. They’re also available in NZ/GB/EU

ARQ all the way!
Uniqlo also makes some nice cotton hi rise.

Personally I’ve embraced the panty line that tends to come with comfortable underwear. I’m wearing underwear and I don’t care who knows it!

Don’t know if anyone’s mentioned yet in this chat but, Knix is an awesome Canadian female startup and they make awesome leak-proof and incontinence undies!

Natv Basics are heavenly tencel underwear.

Naja makes the best undies! The materials aren’t *natural* but are often recycled/eco-friendly and they do have cotton gussets which are a must in my book! The company is also super ethical and creates well-compensated jobs for single moms!

Allbirds makes underwear and they are exceptional!

Love the ARQ undies!! The colors are to die for and I always feel cozy and secure when I’m wearing them.

Thank you so much for not even *mentioning* thongs. This granny panty gal appreciates it.

OH my god! ARQ are amazing! I started dressing for what feels good to me, rather than trying to dress for others, on this past crazy 18 months and this brand is the epitome of that. They’re soft, comfortable,ethical, don’t move and never ride up. I feel confident and sexy, for me, when I wear them. They’re totally worth the price.

Ahhh this is EXACTLY the thing I am also looking for!! The no VPL requirement cannot be understated, and as much as I *adore* Arq undies, they are super VPL prone. However, they are the *only* undies I’ve found so far that I can wear without them traveling to Zones They Should Not. But as someone with a small waist and larger hips and bum, underwear just doesn’t stay put, and is often not big enough in the booty for coverage. And if it is big enough in the butt, it’s big in the waist and rides up. It totally boggles my mind that there isn’t “curvy” underwear out there the way there are curvy jeans. I want to make undies for those of us with curves but I don’t know how to get started! Cotton(ish), actually seamless (hence the cotton-ish), stays where it should!!!, fits curvier people (if not a variety of bodies!) — is it crazy hard to make or do folks not think there’s a market for it? Someone from this industry please weigh in!

Huha all the way! I went from someone who only wore thongs when absolutely necessary, to someone who wears them most days (at 40!). I also love their briefs. They’re made from zinc infused natural tencel, and are made by a body positive, female owned company. Plus, wearing these for the last year has completely eliminated my yeast infections. My huha loves them!

Hanky Panky original thong! They’re extremely comfortable with no VPL’s. I’ve been wearing them for years and they’re the only underwear I wear. Highly recommend!

Pact is where it’s at imo. Perfect cotton bikini.

Okay, strangely, this post was made for me. During COVID, I had a whim to totally redo my underwear drawer. The PH in my nether regions was getting funky and I knew I wanted something breathable. At around the same time, I became an advocate for purchasing primarily GOTS certified organic cotton. I do this for my other clothing items, why not also my underwear? Enter, Knickey. These come in the most beautiful colors and are some really flattering shapes, plus they have held up pretty well in the wash. They are my favorites.

They are on the higher price side for underwear, so I made an agreement with myself that I could buy them if I also bought some more affordable pairs. I ended up buying the classic Calvin Kleins. These are probably the most comfortable underwear in the world and I prefer to wear them to bed.

Good luck!
