Product Insights
The Miiyu Pointelle Knit Thong Organic Cotton balances sustainable construction with practical comfort: a breathable organic cotton blend with elastane for stretch and shape retention, a 100% organic cotton gusset for moisture wicking, and seamless scalloped trim that stays flat and invisible under tight fabrics. It adapts to low and high rises without riding up, eliminating panty lines and irritation. The main tradeoff is its delicate care—cold hand or machine wash in a mesh bag, line dry—required by the pointelle knit, but its bundle pricing at 5 for $39.95 ($8 per pair) with a higher organic content than competitors and Simons’ Vision certification for reduced environmental impact make it a sustainably conscious, affordable option exclusive to Simons.
- Fabric composition
Body is organic cotton blend with elastane; gusset is 100% organic cotton.
Why this is supported
Deep research confirms the body is an organic cotton blend with elastane, while the gusset is 100% organic cotton.
The organic cotton blend label indicates the presence of a stretch fiber — typically elastane
Pointelle organic cotton: feel and breathability — blend_stretch_vs_100_cottonBuyer reviews highlight buttery-soft feel and no-ride-up fit, but some discussions caution that this thong is a blend, not the all-organic high-cut option:
The softest cotton , looks so cute and doesn’t ride up Very comfy !

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

Reddit users directly endorse Miiyu for its organic cotton. One user states:
This is backed by Simons' sustainability program, which Good On You notes:
It uses some lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
directory.goodonyou.ecoHowever, some Reddit users caution that Miiyu sells both 100% and 95% cotton styles, so checking the label is necessary. Compared to Aerie's typical 95% blend, the 100% organic cotton is a clear differentiator for pure-cotton buyers.
Good On You, an independent sustainability rating platform, flags Simons as a brand using lower-impact materials including organic cotton. The platform states:
This provides third-party corroboration for the organic cotton gusset in this thong.
