My favorite

I love all of my Subset undies, but these are my favorite! They are retro chic and make me feel glamorous. Best of all, they are super soft and comfortable. Seams hit at all the right places. They don’t ride up and provide great coverage. The organic cotton washes up beautifully. Please make more colors!

Great fit!

I love the fit of these retro briefs! They come up high enough for good coverage but sit just under the belly button which I like. The seams are comfortable and my favorite part about these is that they don’t roll down below my belly through the day. They stay up. I hope the retro briefs will be in stock in more colors in my size! (2XL)
