![]() Brightman also recommends other types of natural underwear, such as ones made with silk, hemp, or linen. Brightman tells KCM.īut if cotton isn’t your thing, then Dr. “People do a fair amount of sweating during the summer and if your underwear doesn’t let you breathe, that can lead to chafing and irritation,” Dr. So instead of nylon or spandex, she advises opting for a cotton material. Brightman recommends choosing more natural materials over synthetic ones because they’re more breathable, especially during the summertime. Whether you’re going for briefs or thongs, Dr. Rebecca Brightman, who offered some tips and insights for the next time you go underwear shopping. ![]() So we turned to our resident women’s health expert, Dr. For instance, did you know that sometimes it’s really better to go commando?īut with all the different options out there - ranging from thongs to satin panties - it can be difficult to know which is the right pair for you. I got a medium in the underwear and bra (I’m usually a size 6ish) and I would say they fit true to size.Like brushing your teeth or taking a shower, putting on underwear is probably one of those everyday habits you don’t put much thought into (unless you plan on getting lucky later).īut for women, what kind of briefs you’re wearing daily really does matter, especially since choosing the right underwear can have an impact on vaginal health. But if high-waisted trendy undies aren’t your thing I recommend Organic Basics as a more plain/basic but still sustainable and quality option. You probably can’t ask for more from an underwear company. They are also size-inclusive and use diverse models. They support USPS and try to keep all their packaging plastic-free and recyclable. Sure they’re pricier than your fast fashion/VS stuff but that’s because they use organic GOTS certified cotton and are made in a family-owned USA factory. So if you guys are looking for some high-waisted undie and really comfortable sports-bra-but-not-like bra I would definitely recommend ARQ. Emi is definitely on the big side but in general I would say the ARQ tank runs small. I also got the ARQ child basic tank for Emi in the 2-3T size, but unfortunately she didn’t fit them and I was too lazy to exchange them. ![]() As for me, I liked the wide strap bra better because it just fit better on me. I imagine the full coverage bra would work better for those with a bigger chest. I purchased both the ARQ wide-strap bra and the full coverage bra. But I do see a lot of large-chested women wearing their undies on insta so I assume they must be pretty comfortable to them too. I’m flat chested so I don’t have to worry about support so sorry I can’t really comment on that feature. They are made from the same stretchy tee type of material so they were quite comfy. But when (if?) I get back to wearing tight-fitting bottoms I’d probably wear a different pair of underwear.Īs for the bras, they feel like sports bra but less constricting. Right now I mostly wear dresses or loose-fitting pants so it doesn’t really matter. Since the material is quite thick, you will get some VPL even in jeans. I actually appreciated how high they were when I wore my high-waisted Only Child pants and these undies prevented the deep elastic band marks on my waist (I have to admit the OC pants are probably on the tighter end after gaining some pandemic weight). I did have to get used to the high-waisted nature of the undies since I’ve never owned such underwear before. Also after wearing it for over 24 hours and on a hike no less, I can report no wedgies either. The 92% organic cotton/8% spandex material feels like a soft stretchy t-shirt. I get why their high-rise undies so popular: because it really is quite comfy. Here’s hoping 2021 is a much better year! So what did I think of the much instagrammed ARQ (ShopARQ) underwear? So what’s more fitting than my first review here to be about new underwear for the new year on my new blog? And what better color than green since it signifies better luck for this year than the last. In some cultures it’s lucky to wear new underwear for the new year. ![]()
