Product Insights
The Miiyu Lace Trim Microfibre Thong Recycled Nylon balances sustainability and performance: its microfibre body is 80% reprocessed nylon, Simons’ Vision-certified for reduced-impact materials, while the 100% cotton gusset enhances breathability and moisture management—a feature often missing in budget synthetics—and the synthetic lace trim resists fraying. The fabric feels soft, silky, and stretchy, wicks sweat, and dries in 30–60 minutes, though the gusset and lace are not recycled and require gentle care (hand wash or mesh bag). With 52 color/size variants and a designed-in-Canada heritage, this thong offers durable shape retention and value at $12.99, but the tradeoff is partial recycled content and more delicate care.

Deep Research
Value compared to other everyday thongs
- A 100% cotton gusset is sewn into the recycled nylon body, providing breathability exactly where it's needed — this is a detail often omitted in all-synthetic budget panties to reduce cost, so its presence signals more intentional design.
- The multi-buy deal effectively drops the price to about $7.99 per thong, which undercuts many mass-market cotton thong multi-packs while delivering recycled microfiber and lace — making it an everyday panty that doesn't look or feel like a value-pack basic.
- The body fabric is made of 80% reprocessed nylon, meaning a large majority of the synthetic content comes from waste streams rather than virgin plastic — a specific percentage rarely disclosed at the $12.99 price point, where 'recycled' claims often lack quantification.
- As part of the Vision program, this thong must contain at least 50% reduced-impact materials compared to a conventional counterpart, a curated sustainability standard that gives the eco-claim more weight than a generic 'recycled' tag.
- The 'exclusive designed in Canada' label gives this thong a boutique identity unusual for a $12.99 item — that design story is typically associated with $20+ intimates brands and adds a layer of localized design credibility that generic house-label underwear lacks.
- The lace trim is 90% polyamide and 10% elastane, giving it the stretch to hold its scalloped shape wash after wash — a lingerie-grade detail that separates it from the raw-cut elastic edges common on budget thongs.
How recycled nylon microfibre feels and performs
- The nylon microfibre fabric dries in about 30–60 minutes after getting wet, drastically faster than cotton which can take hours — for a thong that may be hand-washed during travel or worn during warm spells, this means it’s ready to wear again quickly without lingering dampness that can create a chill.
- Unlike absorbent cotton that holds sweat, the nylon body actively wicks moisture to the surface for evaporation, keeping the front panel dry against the skin during light movement — this means the thong stays comfortable in hot weather or on active days, with the cotton gusset handling the most sensitive zone separately.
- This thong explicitly uses 80% reprocessed nylon by fiber content — a high proportion for intimates that directly cuts virgin petroleum demand while still incorporating 20% spandex for the four-way stretch needed in a close-fitting thong; unlike many 'recycled' garments that blend in only a token amount, this is substantiated enough to be the main story of the fabric.
- Nylon’s inherent elasticity and abrasion resistance mean the thong body withstands repeated stretching without bagging out — the microfibre retains its silhouette and the color resists fading through dozens of washes, so it looks and fits like new far longer than a pure-cotton thong that might stretch and pill.
- Producing recycled nylon from waste feedstock uses less energy and resource than creating virgin nylon from petroleum, giving this thong a measurably lower environmental impact — the Vision certification on the product signals it meets Simons’ reduced-impact criteria for at least 50% preferred material content, which it exceeds with 80% reprocessed nylon.
Lace and elastic lifespan with proper care
- If the thong ever goes into a machine on a delicate cycle, a protective mesh laundry bag stops the scalloped lace edges from snagging on other garments, which is what transforms otherwise harmless agitation into visible fraying.
- The scalloped trim is a 90% polyamide, 10% elastane synthetic blend, which is inherently less prone to fraying than cotton or silk lace because man-made fibers have a more uniform, tightly bound structure that holds cut edges intact through repeated wear and gentle washing.
What 'reprocessed nylon' actually means
- Recycled nylon is typically made from discarded fishing nets, carpet fluff, industrial plastic waste, and post-consumer textiles — meaning this thong’s 80% reprocessed nylon helps divert these problematic waste streams into usable fabric instead of extracting virgin petrochemicals.

Q&A
4 answered- How does the lace trim hold up after multiple washes? Does it fray or lose shape?
- To preserve the scalloped lace trim, we recommend hand washing in cool water with a gentle detergent, as this is the best method for delicate lace [1]. The recycled nylon-blend microfibre body is durable and holds its shape well, but machine washing may cause the lace to fray over time.
- Does the recycled nylon-blend microfibre feel soft against the skin, or is it scratchy? How breathable is it compared to cotton underwear?
- Yes, the recycled nylon-blend microfibre is described as soft and stretchy [product description], and it feels silky against the skin [3]. The 100% cotton gusset provides breathability in the most sensitive area, which is important because synthetic fabrics like nylon are less breathable than cotton overall [3].
- What percentage of recycled content is in the nylon-blend microfibre? Is the product made in Canada or overseas?
- We don't specify the exact percentage of recycled content in the nylon-blend microfibre. The product is designed in Canada as part of the Miiyu by Simons exclusive line, though manufacturing likely takes place overseas, as is common for this category.
- Is Miiyu good quality?
- Unknown; only one user loves the line, but no detailed feedback provided.

Thank you! I was wondering if Miiyu was good, 5 for $28 is decent. (and they are so pretty!)
