What about oddobody? Also, I have a few bras from Julie May that are great and not medical looking at all. But interested to try some of the other brands options you mentioned!

How about TomboyX? I love the modal and they have comfy boxer briefs in various lengths.

Forgot to hype Jungmaven briefs that my son loves! Also, have you heard of Boody? They're a B-corp but seem a little over-consumption-y.

How could I miss Boody, they’re everywhere! Even at my hardware store. I find their leggings itchy, personally. I don’t know why. If I needed a sporty thong today, I would drive there and grab one. But they’re not my fave.

I've loved Subset for the past year or two! But thank you so much for the Skin reco -- I ordered undies and a bra and the bra is finally what I've tried to find for years!!! I have a broad and long chest but a barely B cup and it's so hard to find bralettes that fit! And this one is actually so cute and dare I say almost sexy.

I do have a workout bra from Mate the Label that I like for yoga and non-impact workouts. I just don't love it for every day.

I just looked, I supposed you could stick with the organic cotton collection. I've written a bunch about how the organic certification is not enough by itself to ensure non-toxicity, and I'm not seeing any other certifications or information that would assure me that it's a good choice, though.

My fav ever underwear brand was Nude the label: super nice cuts, thicker than average org cotton elastane jersey, lasted forever and it came in pretty colors! Been looking for something similar ever since they closed. If anyone has a lead in that direction my underwear drawer will thank you :)

Maybe Proclaim would be a good fit? It’s a bit thicker.

I’ve been looking for a replacement since I read your story on Pact. Will try some of these. I did try ThirdLove briefs postpartum (C-section ) and like them just fine. Do you have an opinion on the brand?

Panty Promise Organic Cotton Panties! They’re the first brand that is seamless so they don’t have the elastics that give you panty lines! The fabric is SO soft and comfortable and is knit in Italy!

I discovered Quinn a few months back and love them.
