Not sure which size you need? Check out our Size Guide

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.

NEW ORGANIC BAMBOO

These delicious soft & silky bamboo elastane sky rise these are so much cooler than our previous Bamboo/Cotton fabric. Because there is no cotton these have much better drying and wicking properties than the navy, so even better for travelling. 

NB: Photos are of models wearing sky rise style in our usual cotton fabric, actual garment made from a sleeker more silky bamboo fabric.

SKY RISE THUNDERPANTS, an extra high waisted version of our originals. They are a very comfortable full brief that sit high on your natural waist and taper in at the top, so stay right where they are meant to all day long.

  • Fit
  • Fabric
  • Care

  • Sit high just above your natural waist and the leg line follows the natural curve of your body just like the originals and hipsters. They taper in at the top with a slightly firmer fit, so will sit and stay right where they are meant to all day long.

  • This Thunderpants fabric is 93% bamboo & 7% elastane to give it that super comfy, soft stretchy feel. 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!
