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

Subset (formerly Knickey) sells organic basic clothing for all body types.

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 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.

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.

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!
