What We Considered
✓ Undies for real women
✓ High quality materials
✓ Comfortable and cute
Everyone’s wearing loungewear. So let’s strip down… literally. These days, we no longer feel obligated to wear bras— the one good thing that working via zoom has brought us. Plus, in the spirit of celebrating our bodies, it’s about time we give ourselves (or feel free to send to your S/O for some Valentine’s Day inspo) a true underwear drawer refresh. After all, the underwear from the $5 for $25 sale only lasts about two months— so let’s trade in fast fashion and move towards high quality materials. It will give you something to look forward to before slipping on your cozy joggers in the morning.
okko
Fun fact: okko stands for ‘OUR KIND OF KNOCK OUT’. Founder Phoebe Kunitomi was inspired by her own Korean heritage and made sure to use Asian minimalism as the foundation of building a brand of functional and beautiful lingerie. Ultimately, the goal was to create seamless styles for every skin color for women to feel confident to take on the day— and it does just that.
The Facts

✓ Colors for all skin types
Brand Standards
✓ Diverse Founders
✓ Women’s Empowerment

Knickey
This may be a little TMI, but you need to know, Knickey’s GOTS Certified Cotton and other organic materials that are used to create the softest undies are not only good for the earth, but also for the good for down under.

So do yourself a favor and make the switch— and feel free to use Knickey’s recycle program to get rid of all of the not-so-good undies in your drawer.

Brand Stanards

The temperatures on the east coast are low and we’ve found great pleasure slipping on a pair, immediately feeling our toes warm up.

The goods don’t end here. Why? Because sustainable undies are not only good for the planet, but they’re also good for our bodies. Think about it, we don’t like synthetics in our skincare, so we shouldn’t let them sit against our skin all day. Not to mention, organic and clean fabrics come with unmatched comfort, and with Valentine’s Day around the corner, it’s just the time to go out with the old, and in with the new for your undies drawer.
