A keen gardener, I love my chrysanthemum straight leg pants and matching cami ☺️
Cami Artichokes
$78.00
Thunderpants organic cotton and spandex fabric is super stretchy, comfy and easy-fit. There’s no nasty, scratchy elastic that digs in. They are the ultimate comfy, easy-fit undie.
The flat fronted original, hipster and sky rise styles all have the same fit through the leg and butt varying in height. The hipster is low waisted, the original sits around the navel and the sky rise is high waisted.
The flat fronted boxer is a hipster fit with a short boy leg.
See the size guide below to help you choose the right size. If you happen to fall between the measurements, don’t panic! We recommend going up rather than down a size.....they will last longer and be more comfortable if not stretched too far.
The swimwear also follows this standard New Zealand sizing.
This chart includes all styles in the adult range that are not a pouch front but does not include the Cotton Drill A line skirts whose size chart is included in the product description.

Flat Fronted Hipster vs Original/Sky Rise?
These styles are exactly the same in every way except the hipster is shorter in the waist than the original or sky rise. Those of us that have a bit of a tummy roll may wish to choose the original or sky high style as they cover the tummy.
Pouch fronted Boxer vs Brief?
The pouch front boxer is the closer fit option. If you like everything snug with a fitted boxer leg then opt for the boxer. For those that prefer a looser fit, stick with the brief.

What about the kids?
This guide is based on many years of Thunderpants sales. As all children are different we suggest you go with your own intuition a little here. Thunderpants are very accommodating and tend to grow with your child so some children will wear their small undies well into the medium size range. Remember when your child outgrows the children's range they can move into the smaller adults sizes.

Artichokes are back! These prickly beauties were designed in 1995 as one of the original Thunderpants block print designs by Josie Bidwill and Victoria McKenzie.
This cami is a great garment for wearing under other things for a warm layer or by itself in the warmer months. Cut with a bit of shaping so it will go out over most peoples hips comfortably. The straps are not too wide but put in just the right place to cover a standard bra strap.
These are body measurements in centimetres.
Length is the actual garment measurement from under arm to hem

The cami is cut with straps to cover a bra. This is a lovely modest, camisole in our super comfy cotton/spandex. You can wear this on its own as a top or team up with some matching Thunderpants for a nice set especially comfy to wear to bed or for lounging about in. You should be okay to order the same size as your Thunderpants but you know your body a lot better than we do so perhaps your top and bottom halves are quite different sizes to each other? Check the size chart if you are in any doubt.
-
The Thunderpants fabric is 90% cotton and 10% spandex to give it that super comfy, soft stretchy feel. The straps are constructed in the same, lovely fabric eliminating the need for the addition of nasty, grippy elastic and adding to the enjoyment of your Thunderpants experience. All the garments are made locally and lovingly in New Zealand.
-
To preserve the vibrant colours and life of the fabric we suggest you do not soak or bleach your Thunderpants items. Use a gentle detergent in a cold machine wash and dry your Thunderpants on the line, not in the drier.
Your Thunderpants are not only super comfy but they are designed to withstand some pretty staunch stuff, so get into them and get on out there!

Great product once again
good fit and size, just groovy as usual !
Love this underwear , it’s the best!
Always excellent service and quality 😇
Perfect fit and very comfortable
super comfy and soft
Very long and has no shape in the body . Very unflattering . It seems like the back and front pieces of the garment are exactly the same and have just been sewn together. I cut it to make it shorter and hoped that the fit would improve, but alas no better. I was really disappointed especially considering the price. I won’t be recommending the cami to anyone .
Store owner replied: Kia ora, thank you for taking the time to review, we are very sorry the garment didn’t suit you. Sadly you could have returned the item for a full refund if you hadn’t cut into it. All our garments are able to be returned if not suitable in any way at all as long as in unworn or washed condition. Please let us know as soon as you receive an unsatisfactory product as we are more than happy to make it right. Ngā mihi The Team @ TPHQ
Great wee top. Very generous sizing, so I went down a size when purchasing a black one when I visited Martinborough.
My favourite camy, so comfortable and supportive.
I've been wearing Thunderpants vests and knickers for years. I don't buy anything else because they are brilliant and last forever.
Great colours and style for fantastic adventures!
Just want to buy heaps more so comfortable lots of support when wearing don’t need a bra so cool
I haven't worn this yet so it's a little hard to say anything. It fits ok tho and I bought it for using round home when it's a little warmer.
Love the colour and fit! No bra needed^^
Thunderpants Cami Tops are my go-to cami and have been for many years! Try it and you will be so happy, too!
I wasn't sure about the orange but I think it makes me feel warmer! Love, love, love...
This pattern is a stunner! And the orange and navy combo is striking. I bought the straight leg pants in the same pattern and am so delighted when wearing them together. They’re like fancy long underwear or PJs. Such great quality too.
Love everything about this comfy as singlet, soft and so nice to wear. Thank you.
Love this cami thanks Thunderpants.
Splendid print, great colours, superduper fit, happy as Yay Thunderpants team 🤗💐🥰💃🥳
Warm and comfortable
Bought matching nickers & singlet. Pleased with purchase 👍
Love it
Love the material and fit Will be buying more of these singlets
Very comfortable, and well made. This is the first one that I have brought.
Love, love, love!
Oh so comfy. These cover all the bits that need covering, including that spot on your lower back that always gets cold. They're soft and stretchy, like a nice hug. But not tight like shapewear. Lovely comfy singlet.
This is a great singlet! Well made and hasn’t faded. I also have them in white. Recommend 💚
Very comfortable
Fits perfectly, and so comfy.
Fantastic fit and the usual excellent Thunderpants quality
I love, love, love Thunderpants! They are the best to wear, incredibly comfortable.
Perfect! This is exactly what I’ve needed in order to get some wear out of my white tees, cotton shirts and blouses. The plain colour is near invisible and now so are my bra straps. Tucks in snugly too. Roll on warmer days!
Love this I bought the whale cami with the matching Thunderpants and love them - the pattern is beautiful, and I really like the cut of the cami.
