WHAT: Lululemon Mula Bandhawear Thong
WHY: Ok, so clearly The Candidly team has very particular underwear needs for every situation in life. But doesn’t every woman? Our sleep underwear is NEVER our workout underwear, which is NEVER our sexy, going-out underwear. And can we all finally admit that we only ever wear like 3 of our favorite pairs anyways?
For working out, in particular, we need underwear that’s comfortable and soft and doesn’t chafe and absorbs (wicks? Does anyone know what “sweat-wicking” even means?) sweat and doesn’t bunch and generally feels like we’re going commando without actually going commando because no one wants to bend over in yoga in too-thin leggings and accidentally expose their vag to the whole class.
Anyways. Lululemon’s Mula Bandhawear Thong does all of the above. First, it must be made from unicorn hair (actually it’s 88% modal and 12% lycra) because it is the softest fabric in existence. In fact, the fabric is so soft and thin, it’s barely even present. Second, the seaming is also virtually non-existent, and it’s made to stretch, so it doesn’t squeeze or pinch. And third, it’s quick-drying and incredibly breathable, meaning you can move and sweat and hardly feel a thing—no aforementioned bunching or chafing.
Is it the most cost-effective underwear to buy in bulk? No. But think of it as an occasional treat—because you deserve at least a few pairs of underwear that won’t give you persistent post-workout yeast infections.
