  • I just had a hysterectomy and Skanties are soooo comfortable. I have posted a link to your page in the hysterectomy group for the other ladies to enjoy.

  • When I am going through my rounds of IVF I become so bloated that Skanties are the only thing I can wear. Thank you.

  • I have had terrible issues with fertility and miscarriages leading to many operations, and I have worn Skanties throughout. They help me so much in times when I am at my lowest. My favourites are the Leopard.

  • I saw a woman with an ostomy rave about your undies. She said they flattened out her bag and made wearing clothes so much easier.

  • I bought these for my 25 year old transgender daughter. The HRT meant she gained a lot of weight and the chafing was upsetting her. She absolutely loves them. They gave her so much confidence because she felt good.

  • Hands down the best underwear I have ever owned. The fabric is so soft and they perform well even in tropical humidity. Finally I can wear dresses on hot days without worrying about chafing, and they're great under nursing scrubs too.

  • I'm a nurse and wear them under scrubs. They provide support and comfort all shift. Super comfortable and great quality.
    Kirsty F.
  • These are perfect under nursing scrubs. Hands down the best underwear I've ever purchased. I quickly ordered 3 more.

  • The most comfortable underwear I've ever owned. Try it, you won't look back.

  • These pants are a game changer. The fabric is gorgeous, so light, soft and silky. Comfy and non-restrictive, so there are no lumps and bumps.
    Caroline H.
  • At first I was unsure how they would feel. Once I put them on, WOW. Comfortable, cool, quick to dry and amazing to wear day or night. I've just bought my third pair. You will love them.
    Laureen H.
  • The legs do not roll like some other brands, they are cool on a hot day, and stop the chub rub. Generous sizing, I'm a size 16/18 usually. I recommend them wholeheartedly.
    Fran M.
  • Super comfy, lightweight soft fabric and a good cut. Perfect for wearing under skirts on hot days to avoid chafing. Highly recommend.
    Louise R.
  • I have 4 pairs and absolutely love them. Even in hot conditions they are cool and comfortable. I can wear dresses now with comfort and ease.
    Mary G.
  • A super comfy way to manage the lack of thigh gap in summer. Lightweight and silky against the skin, they don't ride up or dig in when sitting.
    Tania J.
  • It feels like you are wearing nothing at all. Great under jumpsuits to stop them riding up. Highly recommended.
    Melissa J.
  • I couldn't be more impressed, so I quickly bought more. I bought a pair for each of my closest friends and they loved them too.
    Natasha G.
  • I've had my pairs for a couple of years now. They are very comfortable, I wear them most days, and I've recommended them to friends who have also bought.
