Thunderpants NZ Reviews

I wear TPs because they are the most comfy knickers I have ever worn in 67 years of wearing knickers. Plus they look so good on that I feel younger & I feel happy wearing the bright patterns & colours.

I don’t like shopping by mail order. All those courier vans zooming round NZ can’t be good for our environment. Being allowed the option of offsetting emissions eases my environmental conscience for the times mail order is my best option.

I've bought two of these so far and am loving them! Originally purchased out of a desire to have some non-synthetic underwear (which they're great for), I've also recently started pole dancing and they are also great for that too, so am finding they work well as outwear and underwear. They're super comfy. The drawstring works fine and is less bulky than I expected and they've gone through a few washes now and seem to be holding up well. I plan on purchasing more to replace my elasticated undies ...

I have wore thunder pants since fell pregnant while living in New Zealand in 2005! Now I’m back in Canada and get them shipped here! The best underwear in the world! 🥰

I love the style and fit of these crops, and have bought several over the years. They are so comfy and cute. However... they simply don't last like the briefs do. I find that after a while the fabric under the arms starts to pucker and lose shape. I'd understand if I were wearing them everyday, but they're in rotation with my other bras etc... surprising for what otherwise seems to be a high quality product.

Oh so comfy. These cover all the bits that need covering, including that spot on your lower back that always gets cold. They're soft and stretchy, like a nice hug. But not tight like shapewear. Lovely comfy singlet.

Hard to pick a favourite when I love all my Thundies so much, but this pop of colour never fails to lift my mood!

After several years of wearing thunderpants, I thought I'd buy something else that was "quick dry" for my overseas holiday. Off I went travelling around Europe with the one pair of Thunderpants I wore over, and the rest synthetic. PURE HELL! I ended up washing the single pair of thunderpants every day so I didn't have to wear the other abominations. NEVER AGAIN!

Recently bought 6 pairs of thundepants. So very comfortable and covers all the extra wobbly bits. The sky rise gives just that bit extra length and do t cut in around your middle.

I love the cheeky goodness of Thunderpants. I have been buying them foe over 20 years now and they can't be beaten on comfort, they're hard wearing value for money. And long may they reign. Thanks Team Thunderpants, you rock

Marianne

Sooooo comfortable and I love the design. I've been buying Thunderpants for me, my hubby and 2 children for quite some time. I love supporting NZ-made; the quality is unbeatable, and the designs are fun.

These are the best underwear that I have ever bought. My wife gifted me these a few years ago and I have never looked back. They are really comfortable and keep their shape and are of excellent quality.

The garments that I have purchased are very comfortable and future replacements will come from Thunderpants. Note that Jackie Clarke at her recent concert made mention of Thunderpants in a skit she performed. Went off well.

I LOVE Thunderpant socks - they are warm and comfortable and stay up!! I now only wear these (I’ve got a few pairs) or socks I’ve knitted. Keep up the great work!!

Sorry old faithfuls... I've graduated to the lovely, but monotone, non-rolldown Sky Rises... you've been demoted to the bottom of the drawer.

Cannot imagine my drawer without these beauties! I am literally obsessed with the originals, they have changed my life. 😊💕👍🏻

I had heard about Thunderpants from my mum and although I spent more than I normally would on undies, I am super impressed with these. They are well made and fun and they give me an extra layer of confidence, which is priceless. I deserve good undies and these tick all the boxes for me. Plus they are made in New Zealand! Even better!

Hipster Patchwork Pants

Alicia

Nice modest coverage at the top of the thighs. Comfortable panelling and colour true to online images. I'm currently six months pregnant and finding this suit works well with my bump, while still being an appropriate fit for my pre-pregnancy body. I may need to shorten the shoulder straps a touch but that's no fault in design. Love your work Thunderpants!

Got these for a thunderpants virgin. Having no experience of these amazing undies he loved the difference in feeling compared to his normal jocks! It was a win for the sausage pants!

I am in my 70's and have been buying Thunderpants for years. I wear the 'originals' and my mother who is 95 also loves them. In fact it was she who recommended them to me! They are so comfortable, wear forever and the fabric is fun.

Discovered thunder pants on holiday in NZ. The package said “they don’t ride up”. With my long torso/ big bum sounded to good to be true. My artichoke pair coined me the nickname “artichoke pants as I would flash them at my friends. To good to hide. Now with the bamboo sky rise I am in heaven. What matters to me is feeling comfortable. Also confident.. many a time without having my swimmers, I’ve been able to strip off and jump in my undies. Eternally great full to you for creating, with love...

My Thunderpants Cami Swans is a keeper ! Good quality fabric, excellent construction & attention to detail and the fit is true to measurement guides. It looks exactly like the online photo. It’s comfortable to wear as a layer or on its own. Thunderpants products are unique and interesting.

My relationship with Thunderpants is over 20yrs old! I have never found a style of undies that fits me better - why would I bother going anywhere else? Thundetpants has been there through style changes (original, hipsters, back to original, and now hi-rises) and expanding waistlines and I couldn't be happier!

Megan

This is my first time wearing the Skyrise style and if you like wear dresses then this style is the one for you. . I'm someone who prefers plain undies over designs which is why I chose this soft colour combo

Sky Rise Peppermint Cream

Megan

These are my favourite by far. I love the bamboo fabric as it's just a bit more lightweight, softer and cooling. I will definitely be ordering another pair! I can't wait for Thunderpants to make more bamboo undies in different styles and colours.

I love love LOVE Thunderpants - soooo comfortable. I even managed to convince my Mum to wear them. I really like the funky glasses pattern especially with the little pop of pink in the lenses!!

Unfortunately I purchased a size too small which is easy to do without ability to try them on first. I'll know for next time. I do love the product though, they are very comfortable.

Love these licorice stripes, very fun, please keep this in the menu of styles. Always comfy in the classic shape, no fear of cheeky-peeking with the no-wedgy promise x

Love my Thunderpants!!!! and often shock members of the younger generation with my choice of jazzy knickers. I don't think my family or friends would approve of me exposing my wrinkly backside but my Thunderpants definitely help to keep them all in one place. Thanks girls!

I am still using thunderpants I bought ten years ago. I just love them. I am now in the process of replacing those that have started to "hole" - goodness knows how many times they have all been washed. I can't speak more highly of the brand.

I was so excited to see the whale print back online and even more excited that I could have it made into a skirt. It is the comfiest skirt I've worn. I love the pockets and the fit and is great for a casual day or even to wear to work. Thanks Thunderpants! I'd buy another one in a heartbeat

This marmalade stripe is as good as the marmalade I make with my own fair hands. Thanks to the hands that made these!

My 68 year old rear end is in a perpetual state of bottomly heaven , as after buying a pair of medium Kelp high risers, I was given a size large Swan high risers. Now I can have Thunderpants bottombliss everyday with a judicial washing cycle one on and one in the wash. I am dismayed to have to cover them with trousers and dresses…seriously, because in my ancient vanity, if I squeeze my eyes shut I can imagine I’m a bathing belle from the 1950s and 60s .. Bloody marvellous Thankyou !

These are the only undies my 13 year old will wear! Has been in thunderpants since he started wearing undies. I tried other brands but they didn't last and weren't as comfy. Worth it!
