Miiyu
Minimalist String Thong Organic Cotton And Tencel™ Modal
The Minimalist String Thong by Miiyu is a women's low-coverage underwear style crafted from a stretch jersey blend of organic cotton and TENCEL™ modal. It features a thin elastic waistband and a T-shaped back for minimal coverage, making it suitable for everyday wear, particularly for those prioritizing natural-fiber content. Note that despite the organic cotton, the inclusion of TENCEL™ modal means it is not 100% cotton.

Product Insights
The Minimalist String Thong from Miiyu combines 47% organic cotton, 47% TENCEL™ modal, and 6% spandex to deliver superior moisture wicking, durability, and eco-friendliness compared to pure cotton, with the modal certified EU Ecolabel and biodegradable. Its no-show design and deep color retention add appeal, but the blend requires careful cold washing and air drying to prevent shrinkage and a whitish film, and it is not 100% organic cotton as some buyers assume. Despite these tradeoffs, the thong offers exceptional value at $10.99 or as low as $7.99 per pair in a 5-pack, undercutting comparable sustainable brands by 35–80%.

A good buy!
They fit a little big but are comfortable and no one can see them under my dresses.
Comfy
Nice and comfy. No gusset, just a double layer of material so no seam or chaffing. The side elastic is not super stretchy, and there is a seam on the side as well that I wish wasn't there. Overall nice though!
Perfect mini thong
Everything I wanted in a string thong! The fabric is double layered so this provides a nice amount of thickness and also helps avoid the camel-toe effect. Very soft material thong stays put all day. Just ordered more! I finally found my everyday thong. Thanks!

Thick cotton, pretty colour.
Did not like them
The g-strings aren’t stretchy and the string’s seam is on the side (bulging on your hip) which i have never seen on a pair of underwear (it’s usually in the back).
Reddit Insights
1 threads · r/BuyCanadianReddit briefly mentions Miiyu thong as a recommended organic cotton option, though skepticism exists about it being 100% cotton.
One user enthusiastically recommends the Miiyu high-cut thong, while another implies the brand may actually use a 95% cotton blend. The thread overall seeks 100% natural fibers, so the lack of clarity creates a mixed sentiment.

Miiyu high-cut thong recommended as 100% organic cotton
Simons has 100% organic cotton under the brand Miiyu. The high cut thong is great 👍
