Think of them as high-performance underwear with manners. The Active Low-Rise Thong breathes and wicks moisture to keep you cool but the slight rise means it won't show beneath low-slung skirts or body-hugging shorts. The delicate floral pattern has the optical effect of lace but is integral to the fabric, so it feels supple against the skin and looks smooth beneath formfitting baselayers. Chafe-free edges won't creep, dig in or roll over. Imported.
