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.

  • Knickey is the only underwear brand I own. The organic cotton is breathable, durable, and comfortable wash after wash and the mission is fantastic. For anyone that cares about the health of their down-there parts plus the planet, this is the brand for you.

  • The best everyday undies. I will never buy any other thongs than these. The fit is awesome, low rise and high rise thongs are my go to’s. They have lot of colors to choose from.

  • Love this underwear (and the bras). All of the things from this company I have tested so far have been extremely comfortable and I love all of the options they come in. I would just warn that, after a couple of years, I have found that the elastic does start to wear down in the underwear, but the brand will recycle them for you.

    Great, sustainable, comfortable undergarments.

  • Knickey's undies are great for everyday wear! They're my second favorite to the brand ARQ, but more acceptable to wear out, as the ARQ underwear isn't the best with tight-fitting clothes. I really like the high-waisted thongs.

    However, even though ARQ is more expensive, I can justify their price point more because they feel so much more high-quality and thicker. I feel like the price point should be more like $10-12 rather than $17.

  • I love my cotton undies from Knickey. I did a lot of research on organic cotton underwear before purchasing these. Cotton is generally the best material for underwear but in summer humidity it's a must for me. I prefer a hipster rise and cheeky style so I ordered a few pairs of the mid-rise hipsters. The quality is great and they do not roll down! Like most cotton undies, they do show a line on your butt under certain fabrics. It would be amazing if Knickey found a way to improve this – I hate all traditional seamless underwear. I do think the price is a little high for underwear but I'd rather spend a little more on ones that fit me well rather than buy cheap ill-fitting undies.

  • the best. so comfy, ethical and sustainable and the recycle program is major
