Three cream bamboo thongs
The thong has one task that no other model solves as well: to disappear completely under close fitting clothes. No edge across the buttock, no line down the hip, nothing to see through the fabric. This pack contains three identical cream thongs in a soft bamboo quality, for women, in sizes S to XL.
No visible edges
Under close-fitting trousers, a knitted dress or a skirt in thin fabric, even the best brief shows up as two lines across the bottom. The thong removes the problem, because there is no back panel to show through. Combined with the cream shade, which is closer to the skin than white, it is both invisible to look at and invisible through the fabric.
Narrow waistband, folded edges
The waistband is a narrow, sewn on elastic, chosen for this particular style, where a wide one would show through close-fitting clothes. The leg openings are folded over and stitched, so the edges lie flat against the skin instead of pressing in. The side seams hold the shape, so the thong stays where it should without twisting during the day.
Soft rather than stiff
Most thongs are made in synthetic fabric or lace, because it is thin, and that is also why many people find the style uncomfortable. This one is sewn in bamboo viscose, which is smooth and soft against the skin and moves moisture away from the body. The difference is felt over a whole day, and it is what decides whether the style gets worn or stays in the drawer. The properties of the fibre are described under benefits of bamboo viscose.
The fabric
The thongs are made of 70 % bamboo viscose, 25 % organic cotton and 5 % elastane. The bamboo viscose provides the smoothness and the moisture transport, the cotton gives the fabric body so that it does not go limp, and the elastane keeps both the waistband and the leg openings in shape wash after wash. It is the same blend as the rest of the underwear is sewn in, so the pack matches what you already have.
The certification
The thongs are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified under cert. no. BJ020 142441, which means that all materials in the product have been tested for harmful substances. On the style with the most skin and the least fabric, that is not an unimportant argument.
Which style when
The thong is for the close-fitting and the thin, not necessarily for every day. Most people keep it next to a hipster or a tai and choose according to what they are going to wear. The differences between the styles are described under guide to knickers and underpants.
Washing
Wash the thongs at 40 degrees together with your light clothes, avoid fabric softener, and let them air dry. The narrow elastic lasts longest when it is not exposed to a tumble dryer, and the cream shade stays clean when it is not washed with coloureds. See the rest under washing and care.
Size and the rest of the set
The style comes in S to XL. Choose your usual size. Bras in the same skin toned shades are found under bamboo bra, and you will find all knicker styles under bamboo knickers.
