Product Insights
Miiyu's Stretch Microfibre High-Waist Thong is made from recycled nylon sourced from ocean waste, cutting water use by 90% and CO2 emissions by 80% while maintaining tensile strength within 2% of virgin nylon. At $12 CAD (about $7.99 per pair), it undercuts typical eco-collections by half and is 46% cheaper than Elita's comparable thong. The recycled nylon microfibre body feels soft and stretchy, paired with a 100% cotton gusset for breathability—a feature absent in Aerie's SMOOTHEZ. Buyers describe it as pretty and decent, and it requires cold, delicate washing and air drying to maximize longevity.

Comfortable
Ce sous vêtement est exactement ce que je cherchais. Confortable et élégant et le tissu est parfait.
Who decided on that seam placement?
At first blush, these seem great: lightweight, undetectable under clothes, and stretchy. But after just a few hours' wear, you'll realize the seam down the back is really irritating and by the end of the day, there's no stretch left. I wanted to love them, but nope.
Thong panties
I haven’t worn them yet. But these blue ones are okay for fit, the other ones exactly the same different color seem smaller
