This is usually my go-to undie. I bought more and this batch came cut with access fabric and were saggy looking on.

Best thing of all time
These panties are the best. They’re cotton, which is a big deal. They are soft and stretchy but not loose or baggy. The fit is perfect, No binding or narrowing in the crotch area as the day goes on. They’re simple and cute. I bought my first pair of these maybe 12 years ago, loved them, and could t find them again. I didn’t want mesh or lace or nylon—I wanted On Gossamer cotton thongs. Must have been my lucky day when, Lo! In sale at Nordstrom! I must have 30 pairs of (mostly spendy) panties and these are my hands down favorites. Yours too, I’ll bet.

Thank you for these!
First, these are extremely soft and flex well for working out or everyday use. Second, yes, they are completely worth the money, especially for those like me who are solely thong wearers. I have a large, round butt, but small waist. For those long time thong wearers you know that thongs are comfy IF they fit properly. These finally do. They have enough material length going between the legs so that the waist band can reach up to sit up and over the cheeks (I hope that was described properly). This prevents any wedges. For some reason these days most companies are focusing on the low-rise quality so even when I bought thongs 2 sizes too big for my waist I would still get wedgies while the front was loose and baggie. I bought one as trial, then immediately bought 3 more and will be buying more to stock up in case, god forbid, they discontinue these.

Perfect everyday cotton thong, great quality.
I replaced all my old thongs with this style after trying out a few pairs. The cotton is smooth and the edges don't pinch. It is the most comfortable panty I have ever worn. I'm 5'3", 120 lbs and got size S/M. I'm usually a Small so the S/M size is comfortable with lots of stretch left for those on the Medium end of the spectrum. It is a quality garment. I bought over a week's worth in black and beige.
I had trouble with cheap undies with a narrow crotch that resulted in awful front-wedgies but the Cabana style offers great coverage. The point where the thong and waistband meet is sewn and makes a very subtle sweetheart shape (does that make sense?) which is very flattering.

Best little thong a gal could want
I've been buying these thongs for years, even though I'm no spring chicken! I have loved thongs for many years, even when it was very hard to find them (but one could, especially in NYC). Great fit, great for working out and everyday wear.

Poor quality
Got them for my gf for valentines day. Ordered 3 weeks ahead of the day and they got here the day after valentines day. But my rating is for the quality. I wasn’t expecting much but really, the earrings were dull and discolored, the smallest set had a weird red circle mark that make it look like a cheap piece of trash. Not even worth returning

These ripped after an hour of wearing them such a waste of money.

Nice Basic Cotton Thong
I was trying to find some basic cotton thongs to wear under my scrubs, so I bought a pair of these to try. I think they'll do just fine. I'm typically a size 2, and I was afraid the S/M dual sizing might be too big, but they're actually fine. There is a little extra room across the front, but I'm sure once I wash and dry them, they will shrink a little like most cotton underwear and then fit perfectly. I've ordered a few more pairs already.

On Gossamer Cotton Thong
This TTS cotton thong is light and comfortable. It has just the right amount of frontal coverage; they did not sit too high or too low. The soft fabric feels nice against your skin and they have perfect amount of stretch and no side squeeze. So far they have washed well with no shrinkage. I will definitely buy more in the future.

Love so much that I ordered another!
These are perfect, as in soft cotten and sized as is. Highly recommend. I just ordered another pair because I know how hard it can be to find good underwear.
