Subset Reviews

Best of Thingtesting4.6

Subset earns strong reviews for breathable, organic-cotton underwear that fits comfortably and holds up well, with standouts like the mid-rise thong and briefs. Reviews also flag drawbacks—visible panty lines, occasional elastic wear or seam wonkiness, variable fit and sizing, and a bra with visible seams—making the brand excellent for everyday comfort and sustainability-minded shoppers who don’t need seamless finishes.

  • I’ve been really impressed with this brand. I’ve only tried their underwear so far, but in terms of organic, non-toxic, and well-made, they’re top-notch. I’ve tried other brands for the same reasons—including Organic Basics—and none have fit me as well as Subset. They are a bit pricey, so I usually wait for a sale, but the quality feels worth it, and I expect them to last for years. Definitely a brand I’ll keep coming back to.

  • I love the mid-rise thong. True to size and breathable, these wash (and dry) well and still look brand new. It can be hard to snag a size and color in stock, but they're worth the wait. 10/10

  • I found this bra more structured/robust than I'd anticipated, lacking comfort and breathability. The vertical seams easily show through shirts, so it's best used at home or under roomy tops.

  • These are my everyday undies for the past year+. I'd been on the lookout for a while, after deciding I needed to retire my non organic cotton regulars. I have tried a few brands and I think the mid-rise briefs deliver on comfort and feel barely there. Only knocking off a point because they are often sold-out in my size, and the current colors aren't that exciting -- would love to see some new ones!
