Subset earns strong reviews for organic cotton underwear that feels soft, breathable, and durable, with many noting superior fit and comfort versus brands like Organic Basics and Aerie; however, reports cite visible panty lines, inconsistent fit on certain cuts, and occasional elastic wear or inseam warping over time. Reviews praise the brand’s garment recycling program and thoughtful packaging, while noting limited no‑show options and some sizing quirks.

  • 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
