Essential Hipster
Our Essential Hipster gives you the coverage you need, exactly where you need it all, while keeping you dry, comfortable, cool, and funk-free. Our seamless Merino wool design and comfort waistband eliminates digging and rolling and provides more coverage around your hips and bum than our Essential Bikini. It’s designed to stay put and move with you throughout your entire day, no matter your adventure—so comfortable you’ll forget you’re even wearing it!
Bonus: Our ZQ, OEKO-TEX 100, and RWS certified GLDNspun™ Merino is also regenerative and sustainable. (which also means it is free of BPA, PFAs, and toxic forever chemicals).
Double Bonus: Our Hipster can be worn two ways: snug around the hips or pulled up just below the belly button for a higher-waisted fit and more tummy coverage.

A great addition to my wardrobe. This is my second order. I took 3 pair on my Camino last September and they worked as advertised. I ordered 3 more pair. That being said, be aware that merino wool is unforgiving of stains. It is the nature of the fabric. I still ordered more and love wearing them!
Pretty great
Overall, great undies.
THE SETUP: I have desperately sensitive skin...down there... since middle school (in FL). I have been through unscented soaps and detergents, doctors and prescription creams for irritation, recommended laser hair removal...even a vulvar biopsy at one point because it got so bad! (nope, just contact dermatitis). I finally got things under control the last couple of years. But when it's hot and sweaty, i would still get horribly uncomfortable.
I'd switched to a well known brand of organic cotton undies but, honestly, they were still irritating me. Literally, I have NEVER been able to sleep in underwear. As SOON as I put them on, I feel itchy and uncomfortable. It's that bad.
THE SITCH: I researched and got into wool undies when I started riding a motorcycle this past year. The organic cotton was. not. cutting it.
These the for sure the most expensive underwear I own (thank goodness for the welcome discount! And I do appreciate their loyalty program).
THE PROS: Overall I'm really happy with these! I tried one other brand of wool undies as well which I also loved. The pro of these is they have that nice, smooth more compressive feel (you know for those extra bloated days, like when I took these pics :P).
They stay put and I like the smooth band at the top. The hipsters just seem to fit perfectly over curves and don't cut in anywhere. They are stretchy enough that you can adjust where they sit on your hips based on your shape. Don't be fooled by how the fabric feels to your hands. Once they are on you almost forget you're wearing them! For the first time pretty much EVER I actually LOVE putting on my underwear.
THE CONS (or minor critiques): the seams around the legs do feel a little rough to the touch. Most of the time I don't notice once they are on. But sometimes, like on day 3 after shaving, it can irritate me a little after a long day.
Essential Hipster
I’ve tried lots of brands and these are my favorite. Comfortable, breathable, and they stay put! They are pricey but worth it.
Love the feel of the wool fabric. The fit on me is great! It’s nice they come in black.
