Cottonique Women's Spandex-Free Bikini Brief Made from 100% Organic Cotton

I bought these panties four months ago, and frowned when I opened the package, because they didn't look like what I usually get...they were too white, and the stitching was different. To be fair, I usually buy low rise rather than bikini, but I don't think that accounts for the problems I've had.In spite of washing them weekly for 4 months, they are still causing skin problems -- which han't happened with anything I've ordered from Cottonique directly, even though they use the same distributor -- they're still too small, they're still white rather than cream-colored, and I compared them with my other panties yesterday to be sure annoyance wasn't making me imagine things, and the stitching around the elastic parts at least is definitely different.If they hadn't come in a Cottonique package I would have sworn these weren't their product.I did contact someone...don't recall if it was the Amazon supplier or Cottonique (think it was Cottonique)...and they swore that they hadn't changed any of their processes, hadn't changed ANYTHING. Maybe the bikini briefs come from a different supplier? Since I've bought other Cottonique products direct from the supplier since then (not bikini briefs), and haven't had problems with anyof them, then I wonder what's going on.Anyway, I wasted $22 and don't feel I can safely order Cottonique from Amazon anymore, which is inconvenient but not the end of the world.

I am adding this update. To be honest, I am not one to usually pay $14 for one pair of panties. However, for me, I have discovered that they are worth it. I would say that this MUST be 100% organic and I'll tell you why (though I am not thrilled about posting this on a public website): I have some weird situation going on where, when I wear panties for more than a few hours, I get genital irritation.I accidentally did an experiment the other day and because of that am purchasing more of these. I had a VERY, VERY long day, wearing these panties under tight pants, no less. No irritation. None whatsoever. I was dumbfounded, kind of in disbelief.So, I purposely wore another pair on another day when I knew I was going to be having a long day. Again, NO irritation at all!Usually, a fraction of the time of wearing panties and I would be very uncomfortable.So, again, for me, it is worth it. Also, relative to other organic panties, these are actually inexpensive. If you're anything like me, you will find that shocking (who pays 20 bucks for one pair of panties?!), but do a search and you'll see what I mean.Anyway, I am going to buy more and more of these, as my budget allows, until I have ONLY these organic cotton panties, because, hey, no irritation at all? I am sold.(Also just want to add, if you have similar problems to what I am describing, the following should also help:only use toilet tissue that is unbleached and unscented- this is available tons of places these days and I personally find Green Forest to be the softest,no chlorine bleach in the laundry that contains your undies or nightgowns, no fabric softeners (I think they do make natural ones, those might be okay), ideally no chlorine bleach at all is best because some of it will remain in the washer, not just unscented laundry detergent, but a natural brand that is also free of optical brighteners (they don't have to list them and the major brands that are unscented contain them). Finally, if you are particularly irritated, you can get food grade zinc oxide powder and mix it with oatmeal and that is really healing. You'll need a shaker bottle if you want to do that. Stay away from corn starch and talc (linked to ovarian cancer- seriously, this has been scientifically established).

I was seeking to replace my underwear to organic cotton, so I tried a couple different brands. I like this one best. They are soft and and a true bikini. I am hippy to say the least, so a wide leg opening is a must. I use a size large for most of my underwear. I stand at 5'2", weight 135lbs...all my weight is around my butt. Waist 29" Hips 37" ...now these "hip" measurement is what I call my "high hip", but the widest part of my hips is saddlebag area, in which a measure 41". By these measurements I would be a size 6...There is no way on earth I could go inside a size 6 in this brand of undies. The size 8 fit perfectly. They are flattering too. I read some complains about them being "too lose", but if you have a BIG BUTT, these are for you!The gray color is really pretty, they are my favorite. My only complain is the black color is a little tired looking, they look old. But honestly their are pretty good for the price, it being organic cotton and all.

I was very hesitant to buy these because of the price. I have worn Jockey Elance bikinis for years and years. And I still love those. However, they always have a horrible sickening chemical smell that doesn't come out after countless washes. I have a lot of female issues like cysts, fibroids and I just wanted to make the change to chemical free undergarments because who knows what those chemicals do. After all, we pretty much wear them 24/7 365! These fit nearly the same as the Jockeys and cover enough behind. And plus they don't look like grannie panties! Highly recommend!

I love Cottonique panties. Made of pure cotton with no elastine or spandex. I developed a terrible allergy to latex/plastic/spandex (it seems to be the elastic in ALL panties, cotton or otherwise, I have found out) and now these are all I can wear. They also make a contoured high cut brief which is great (not as low cut as the bikinis, but still they are not old lady big pants.) I ordered a size 4 in the briefs. The bikinis run smaller, so I exchanged size 4 for size 5. One does not want to have to wear "granny panties" just because of this pesky allergy. These are actually quite sexy (I love them in black), but the natural is good too. If you don't like bikinis, get the briefs. And I think Cottonique does actually make a bigger, waist type "granny panty" if you prefer full coverage.

Repeat order of lovely comfortable non-allergenic briefs, thank you !!

Repeat order in a larger size & perfect fit, thank you !!

Lovely comfortable non-allergenic briefs, thank you !!

Hmmm.... fabric is horrible, I'm afraid. The latex isn't that well conceealed. Uncomfortable.

Comfortable. As wanted. Thank you
