Parade
I am literally obsessed with this underwear! After years of struggling with outdated lacy thongs, I am so happy to have found Parade.
Their underwear is extremely flattering and comfortable and made with sustainability in mind:
- Raw materials: They use upcycled cotton from fabric scraps and 80-95% recycled fibers
- Production & Manufacturing: They are aiming to have 100% renewable energy in the offices by 2023 and do not use toxic chemicals in their products.
- Packaging & Distribution: All packaging is all biodegradable or recyclable.
- Post Use Product Lifecycle: Parade offers an underwear recycling program for their underwear as well as any other brands' underwear!
We decided to try these out for ourselves and here's our review:
Vintage Fit Bodysuit - favorite item
This is a must-have staple for the summer. Great for wearing with shorts or layering with dresses as spandex or cami. Be warned that the white is a bit see-through.
Made from upcycled cotton scraps.
Silky Mesh High Cut Thong - must-have underwear
I love this underwear! It feels like you have nothing on. I literally do laundry just to wear these again. The high waist cut took some getting use to but after a few wears, I am never going back to low-waisted.
Made from recycled yarns.
Seamless Universal Thong - a great basic
I got two colors and wear them all the time.
Great sustainability stats as a carbon-neutral underwear.
Scoop Bralette - meh
A got this as a part of a cute set and find it pretty standard for a bralette.
Made from recycled fibers.
Sweat-wicking Workout Thong - skip
This one brought me back to the dark days of my prior underwear brand. The low-riding is not flattering under dresses or pants. It also feels too short!
Made from recycled yarns and organic cotton lining.
