Product Review: Katie Tries GreenKnickers Hemp and Silk Side-Tie Knickers

June 12, 2009 by Katie 

Hemp and Silk by Green Knickers


Get it at: Green Knickers
Prices: £20
Sizes: UK8/US6/EU36 to UK18/US16/EU46

I’m a big fan of GreenKnickers; I love everything about them: from their earth friendly practices and unbelievably reasonable prices, to the cheeky sayings like  Eat Organic embroidered on the front.  I also love the silk/hemp side-tie knickers and in fact I own several pairs – I love them for comfort, quality of fabric and sheer fun girlyness!

The shantung- like fabric has a slight shine with good heft, modest cut and a great fit.  I love the recycled gift boxes that come complimentary with every order, which definitely beats getting your goods in a plastic bag!

My only regret  is that Green Knickers don’t make these in briefs in the style of their Lucky Wedding Knickers (which are 50% off until the end of August), if they did I would wear them all the time!  As it stands I wear them only for lounging as they tend to produce bulging at the hip under clothes.  But that’s ok because the point of the tie sides is that they’re are meant to be seen, and as far as I’m concerned, they’re as adorable as they are comfortable!

The Scores
Comfort: 5/5
Value for money: 5/5
VPL risk: 1/5
Practicality: 3/5
Style: 5/5

Green Knickers also make men’s boxers as well as padded biking underwear for men and women. Prices start at £15 for a 3 pack of oh so soft, breathable, 70% bamboo/30% organic cotton knicker.
And don’t forget the Lucky Wedding knickers are currently at half price for £15!

    …sorry but it looks like a baby’s nappy…

    I guess if you wanted your baby to wear Ladies silk and hemp knickers with bows at the side at £30 a pop, they could be worn as a nappy.
