Thunderpants NZ Reviews

Jane

Thunderpants are the best undies ever, particularly if you have a wee tummy thing going on like me. I especially love the sky high undies as they sit on my our waist and don’t move. I would not bother buying any other brand now, and probably won’t need to, I bought so many 😂😂

My daughter absolutely loved her 'Christmas knickers' - but then she's a huge fan of Thunderpants underwear. Now I'm just trying to convince her to throw out some of the old threadbare ones she's still wearing.

I'm usually size 16 and found the large a bit loose but very comfy and i love the design. I ordered the medium for my next one which is a better fit strap wise although the cups a bit lower as smaller . In between the medium and large would probably be better for me but i'm happy and comfortable in both.

perfect size shape and comfort for my saggy baggy middle aged body. Comfy and cool. Always love cotton to wear and happy to hang my undies on the line outside the neighbours dining room window when they are so colourful. we live in central Auckland so houses very close and intimate! Not at all concerned about these undies being on display 🤗😂

Very pleased with my skirt. I bought this as my first night blossom purchase and have loved it so much i went ahead and bought the cami bra and undies too.If i had the courage i'd wear them all at once!! I bought the one with the pockets as i love having pockets. 16 a perfect fit and shape thank you. Trying hard not to purchase any more skirts but they are so comfy.

Bought these for my daughter as part of her christmas gift. We give each other presents from the animals and these were the perfect gift from White wing and his whanau ( our resident tūī family). She was very happy with her cheeky little piwakawaka's. Finds them very comfy also has the red bicycle undies from a previous splurge which she classes as 5 star also.

i'm rather obsessed with the night blossom print. Love it. I now have the top, skirt , bra and undies . All really comfy and love the print. lots of compliments when I wear either the skirt or top. Don't show off the underwear but feel great knowing i'm wearing them .

I've been waiting for the night blossom bra top as i thought it would be good to have under the cami and it didn't let me down. I ordered the Medium although i bought the large cami as I had bought the large bra in the bicycle print (as per instructions for my size and i have large cup size) and although it was comfy it was quite loose. The medium is a better fit strap wise than the large was cup size is a firmer and less cover but otherwise a better fit and support. Happy with my purchase.

Honestly I LOVE Thunderpants I put them on & they cover all the right places staying put ! But sadly not this cut….. it just keeps rolling up my leg which is annoying. However waist band is comfy, same great quality & true to size (medium) in fit.

I buy thunderpants for gifts for granddaughters and nieces. They enjoy the patterns and love the comfort. I like that I can give a gift that is both useful and fun.

Thunderpants socks are the best socks I have ever worn and I speak from experience after buying a lot of socks as I am well into my eighties. They wash well too.

I love that these undies are made of scraps so even better for the planet. Plus I get a sneaky look at different materials and so I know which one to order next!

These socks get lots of comments, especially when I go for physio and they spot the Thunderpants name across the bottom of them! Great to wear with sneakers when it's not too cold, and more importantly, lovely vibrant pattern :)

Love the look - got a matching pair for my adult son. Four-star only because I generally like a thicker sock (full-time boot-wearer here). If however, you love a thin sock, I can’t see any reason for them not being a 5!

Love Thunderpants and the fantail is so cute. Wish I had known about them years ago instead of wasting $ trying to find decent underwear. Even better that they are NZ made and sustainable material.

I have been wearing Thunderpants for well over 10 years. I still have my first pair, orange & brown, because they haven't worn out, although many pairs have. I walk and cycle and they never ride up, In fact, once on they are never an issue. I recently bought your new 'bra top' which I love because being an old person, my skin is sensitive to conventional bras. It is very comfortable and I will be buying another soon. I also love the cheeky prints and string the clothesline with pride!

I bought 3 pairs of the childrens' Thunderpants for my Granddaughters toilet training. As yet it has not happened, I'm looking forward to when it does. They are gorgeous Underpants Thank you :) xo

These shorts are a favourite. I especially like the cut around the leg as it doesn’t cut into the groin. They are supportive and very comfortable. The leg cut/design is quite different from “boyleg” style in other brands yet, having said that, they are extremely comfortable.

I love these undies. I have several pairs now and they always cheer me up. When I lost my hair through recent cancer treatment, and was feeling sick; putting my brightly coloured, quirkily-peopled undies always made me smile.

I have been buying Thunderpants for 10 years since a good friend gave me my first pair on my 65th birthday. I love them and true to form they do NOT ride up, thank you Thunderpants.

Love your undies for fit and proper old fashioned construction. Excellent customer service to Australia. My grandkids and my husband and I purchased red stripe Xmas undies two years ago and they are all perfect. Especially the primary school grandkids as the undies have accommodated two years growth. Thanks for your products…..Lynette

I have a very round bottom and the comfort and stretchiness just is a world apart from any other product. I also love the colours and patterns.....Keep it coming Thunderpants

Wow! Absolutely love this dress. I usually take a size XL in Thundies, but sized down to a medium and this fitted perfectly. I have received lots of compliments about my 'willy wag tail' dress. The cotton is beautiful and resilient. I've washed it once by hand and it came out just like new. I'd love to know when Thunderpants might bring out this style in a different fabric. I'd certainly buy another.

I have worn Thunderpants original pants for many years, I even hunted Wellington once for the shop in Lampton Quay when there on holiday, but my favourite venue was Martinborough where I was a friend’s bridesmaid in 1958 and when visiting her discovered your shop! These bamboo pants are the best thing yet but at 90yrs I feel a photo would not make a good advertisement!!

I could have worn the medium actually, although my other Thunderpants are mostly large. I really love the proper high waist. No slippage from the top. I think they might be starting to pil after several washes but I know these pants are a work in progress - and very happy to be part of that.

Like fabric very much and think it will be nice to wear come summer time. There is absolutely no way I will be providing a photo - at 83 years of age, I don't think so! I have been wearing "thunders" for more than twenty years and recommended them to many friends.

These are the most super extremely comfortable underwear to wear :-) Seriously - you can buy cheap overseas underwear and there's the key word 'cheap ' Buy locally made in New Zealand - worth every dollar and so seriously comfortable, would never buy any others again.

Granddaughter needed light coloured Thunderpants that didn’t show a pattern through light coloured clothes. There weren’t any in the children’s range, but the smallest adults ones fit a 10 year old well.

Thunderpants tights are the best on Earth! So comfortable and so well made. They never fall apart! You need a pair in every colour way! Currently wearing the tiger print on a windy day in the Marlborough Sounds. Toasty warm🙂

I am working toward all my undies being thundies. I love the comfort aesthetic, durability and supporting local. Can not recommend these highly enough. ❤❤❤

I love wearing the cami, and all the knickers I've bought over the last couple of years. Thunderpants is a real find, not only are the garments good quality and fun, I know the people making them are paid a living wage!

Having just had a complete shoulder replacement I needed something I could in and out of very easily and my new original Kelp Holdfast were just what I needed (and the fact that they were so pretty sure didn't hurt either!). Christine

I am a thunderpants fan The product is Good for me! Probably not so good for you Because the lasting time of the product is fantastically good and it is years before a re-stock! The bright green design and the flowers are my current batch Very happy! And A little sorry that I am no longer wearing the night sky on my but! I loved that design and the fact that I was wearing the flying planets! Thanks for such a great product!

My (disabled ) daughter is very long waisted, whereas the regular Thunderpants size large she has worn for a long time are pretty good these high rise are so much better. Great fit

I bought a piwaiwaka set crop and pants for a gift and my daughter was delighted. Unique and structurally sturdy enough to wear as a bikini which she does. She has had alot of positive comments when wearing them and we have referred them all back to the source of “Thunderpants” Will buy more.

These are perfect. I have a troublesome umbilical hernia, so pressure at the navel is uncomfortable. These are the most comfortable pants I have, and substantial enough to wear gardening.

I received my first pair of Thunderpants as a gift when my daughter was born. I was an instant convert and have worn TP originals ever since. My thirteen year old daughter is therefore a Thunderpants native and loves them as much as I do. Here we are, mother and daughter in matching tigers, spending the day with this underlying connection whatever our individual clothes and activities.

Have been buying these undies for several years now and can never go back! Great fit, firm and last for ages. I now have my teen daughter wearing them too - she loved the piwaiwaka print.
