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%.
Verified claims
- Material blend
- 47% organic cotton, 47% TENCEL™ modal, 6% spandex — not 100% cotton as some buyers believe.
- Care
- Cold water and air drying necessary to prevent shrinkage and whitish film.
- Value
- 5-for-$39.95 bundle costs $7.99 per pair, matching mass-market organic thongs.
- Price vs competitors
- At the $4.99 sale price, it is roughly 70–80% cheaper than comparable modal-cotton thongs; the 5-for-$39.95 bundle brings the per-pair cost to $7.99 CAD.
- Modal certifications
- TENCEL™ modal is certified EU Ecolabel and holds Canopy's highest 'Dark Green Shirt' ranking.
- Organic cotton certification
- The TENCEL™ modal is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified; the organic cotton component is not confirmed as GOTS-certified in the available information.
- Moisture management
- Wicks sweat 35% faster and absorbs 50% more moisture than pure cotton.
- Color retention
- Dyes penetrate deeper for deeper, longer-lasting color that resists fading.
- Durability
- The modal blend resists pilling better than 100% cotton underwear; modal also shrinks less than cotton, though the near-equal cotton-modal blend still needs cold washing and air drying to keep its fit.
- Detergent
- Use a liquid detergent without enzymes or optical brighteners to prevent fading and pilling.
- Washing method
- Wash cold in a mesh bag on gentle and air dry to prevent shrinkage and whitish film.
- Visibility
- Encased elastic waistband lies flat and smooth for a no-show look under fitted clothing.
- Shrinkage
- Machine drying shrinks the cotton-modal blend, requiring air drying to maintain fit.
- Price advantage
- Simons' house brand model keeps the regular price at CAD $10.99, roughly 35% below a comparable organic cotton thong from Papinelle and about half what a standalone sustainable underwear brand would typically charge.
- Fabric performance
- Modal blend offers cooling touch, 35% faster wicking, and deeper color retention than pure cotton.
- Eco certifications
- TENCEL modal is certified EU Ecolabel, biodegradable, and from responsibly managed forests.
- Biodegradability
- TENCEL Modal fibers fully biodegrade in soil, freshwater, and marine environments and are home-compostable.
- Edge construction
- The thong is not raw-cut or seamless; it has a visible side seam, and at least one buyer reports the side seam can bulge on the hip.
- Crotch construction
- The thong has no separate gusset; instead, the crotch uses a double layer of fabric, which buyers say avoids a center seam and chafing.
- Fit
- Some buyers report the thong fits a little big.

Staying invisible under dresses and tight pants
Reviewers report reaching for this thong under form-fitting dresses, thin fabrics, and tight pants, where the thin string design and flat front lay smoothly and stay hidden. The no-gusset, no-center-seam construction is also credited with helping prevent camel-toe and chafing. One caveat to know: the side seam sits on the hip rather than the back, and some reviewers say it can dig or create a visible bulge under tight clothing, with a few noting it takes getting used to.[1]
Everyday all-day wear, from office to errands
For all-day everyday wear, reviewers describe this thong's soft, double-layer fabric and secure fit as keeping them comfortable without constant adjusting, and its no-gusset construction as helping prevent chafing. Note that the fabric and elastic have limited stretch — some reviewers say it runs a little large, while others find it can feel tight or shift if you're between sizes — and the side seam may take some getting used to.[1]
Reported help with camel-toe
Some customers report this thong's double-layer front fabric adds a buffer that helps prevent camel-toe, with no center seam to cause irritation. One noted the side seam can create a visible bulge on the hip, so fit may vary.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Minimalist String Thong Organic Cotton And Tencel™ Modal: Choose this if you want a discreet thong for form-fitting dresses, tight pants, or thin fabrics: per customer reviews, the thin string design and flat front lay smoothly and stay invisible, while the soft, double-layer cotton-modal fabric prevents camel-toe and the no-gusset construction prevents chafing. Note that the side seam sits on the hip and can dig or create a visible bulge under tight clothing, and the fabric and elastic have limited stretch; reviewers also report it runs slightly large, so consider sizing down for a snug fit.[1] | Minimalist Thong Organic Cotton And Tencel™ Modal: Choose this if you want a minimalist low-rise thong in a soft stretch jersey of organic cotton and TENCEL modal with a touch of spandex, with narrow elastic sides and a slim waistband for minimal coverage that sits low on the hips. It comes in X-Small through X-Large and eight colors including Black, Sand, Chocolate/Espresso, and several patterned options. Note that the fabric can appear slightly sheer where stretched, and the thin, narrow-coverage cut won't suit anyone preferring fuller styles.[2,3,4] | Stretch Ultra-Comfortable String Thong Organic Cotton And Tencel™ Modal: Choose this if you want a minimal string-thong style made from a soft, stretchy jersey blend of 47% organic cotton, 47% TENCEL™ modal, and 6% spandex, with a thin low elastic waistband and very narrow side straps. It comes in five sizes (X-Small through X-Large) and colors including Black, Sand, Chocolate/Espresso, Khaki/Sage/Olive, and Patterned Crimson. Note that the ultra-comfortable description comes from the product name rather than reported wearer feedback.[5,6] |

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).
Très bien

Practical
Thick cotton, pretty colour.
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!
Comfy
Comfy and perfect fit
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!
Très bien

A good buy!
They fit a little big but are comfortable and no one can see them under my dresses.
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 👍
