How the price compares to similar organic thongs

• Quince’s 6-pack of organic cotton/spandex thongs costs $45 CAD ($7.50 each) — only $0.50 less per piece than Miiyu’s bundle — but locks you into a fixed three-color pack and entirely omits TENCEL™ modal; for an extra fifty cents, you get a fabric upgrade and the freedom to pick your own color assortment.
• The 5-for-$39.95 offer applies across at least eight distinct solid and patterned colors — Black, Sand, Chocolate, Khaki, Ochre, Crimson, Brown, and Orange — so you can curate a personalized drawer rather than settling for a pre-set multi-pack, all while keeping the per-piece cost at $8.
• At $8 CAD in the 5-for deal, Miiyu costs only about $1 more per thong than Gap’s organic cotton thong ($7 CAD each in a 5-for-$35 promotion) but adds TENCEL™ modal — a fabric upgrade that delivers a noticeably silkier hand, making the modest premium a compelling trade for everyday softness.
• Outside the bundle, the $12 CAD single-unit price is less than half the cost of Organic Basics’ Easy Tanga ($24 USD / ~$33 CAD), a thong built from the same organic cotton/TENCEL™ modal blend — making Miiyu a low-risk way to try a modal-blend thong without the usual premium.
• TENCEL™ modal typically shows up in intimates at the $15–30+ range; Miiyu brings it to the $8–12 tier, delivering the softness and moisture-handling of a premium fiber at a price where cotton/polyester blends usually dominate — a distinctive value for an everyday thong.

Sizing feedback from real wearers

• A Redditor recommended this thong positively for everyday wear, implying that the sizing is comfortable and consistent, as dissatisfied users typically cite fit as a primary complaint in undergarment reviews.

What the organic cotton and TENCEL™ modal blend feels like

• The TENCEL™ trademark denotes Lenzing AG’s modal fiber produced in a closed-loop process from sustainably managed beechwood, making the thong’s fabric more eco-efficient than generic modal and giving buyers transparency into the fiber’s environmental footprint beyond softness claims.
• Modal holds 11–13% moisture at equilibrium compared to cotton’s 7–8.5% (Morton & Hearle 2008), meaning the fiber pulls roughly 50% more sweat away from the skin before it feels damp — a critical edge for staying dry in non-breathable outfit layers or warm conditions.
• Modal fibers measure 10–15 μm in diameter versus cotton’s 40–60 μm — a fineness approaching that of silk (10–12 μm) — which gives the fabric a slick, low-friction surface that minimizes chafing in a thong’s high-contact zones.
• Lab measurements show modal fabric dries about 50% faster than cotton, and in a 34-brand, 103-day blind test modal products stayed dry 2–3x longer during sports use — translating to a thong that resists the damp-cling sensation common with pure cotton after a sweaty commute or light workout.
• Modal’s highly aligned cellulose structure gives it excellent wet strength, so the jersey resists bagging and distortion through repeated wash cycles better than ordinary staple-fiber knits, extending the thong’s ‘like new’ fit over time.

How the T-shaped back thong wears all day

• TENCEL™ modal fibers, derived from beechwood, have a smoother surface and higher moisture absorbency than conventional cotton, creating a liquid-like drape that reduces friction between the cheeks and virtually eliminates the coarse chafing associated with lower-grade cotton thongs.

Sustainability credentials of the materials

• Lenzing draws the wood for TENCEL™ modal from sustainably managed forests and plantations, a practice that ensures a renewable cellulose supply without contributing to deforestation, aligning with the circular‑economy principles outlined in its annual sustainability report.
• The wood pulp that becomes TENCEL™ modal is produced in Lenzing biorefineries operating at 100% biomass utilization, converting every part of the tree into pulp, bioenergy, and co‑products with zero waste to landfill — a stark departure from conventional dissolving‑pulp mills that abandon nearly half the wood mass.
