Summer panties are a whole thing. You’re wearing shorts or skirts without tights, and you don’t want to be wearing a g-string or ugly panties if the wind upblows and you pull a Marilyn. Plus – if you’re anything like us – you like to be active, and sit in the grass without worrying about an ant farm breeding up your yahoo. We’ve gone the whole bike short route, but that leaves us sweaty and with an occasional outbreak of butt zits. We’ve finally found the perfect happy medium: a high waisted panty that doesn’t ride up, looks adorably vintage, is insanely comfortable — and BONUS: is entirely sustainably made from cradle to cradle. We definitely don’t want chemicals right near our magic buttons, and the Infinite Support Panty by Swegmark of Sweden is a full cut brief with double layers of fairtrade, organic cotton. This brief shapes the waist and hip, and a splash of lace (and support!) in the middle adds a feminine touch. The dusty pink color means they won’t show under a pastel summer dress, and the strong elastic around the bum means no riding up. We want them in every color, and hope they start making more color options, because these are a perfect daily panty.
We got these on FaeriesDance.com, where we always find the best selection of conscious underpinnings and sleep things. Plus: they are committed to providing a complete environmentally conscious shopping experience – all their clothing is made of environmentally sensitive fabrics and low-impact dyes, and they source products from both US manufacturers and overseas manufacturers who take care to ensure that all workers are treated fairly, are safe from sweatshop conditions and receive living wages. They also price all of their products from US manufacturers below suggested retail price. They believe that the more we can introduce and expand environmentally conscious clothing into the marketplace, the better off we’ll all be. So they sacrifice a little per-item profit in the hopes of making eco-clothing accessible to a wider audience, and they have an extensive charity program, donating 1% of their gross income to charities that protect our natural world. So – best panties from the an amazing site committed to sustainability? WINNING!
