Fabulous Octopus pants, love, love, love! I call them my therapy pants because I feel so good wearing them. Have recommended Thunderpants to everyone who comments on how much they like them. Just a bit long for my not so long legs.
Long Tights Black
$110.00
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.

The Thunderpants Womens long tights are great for walking, yoga, gardening, watching TV or wearing under a tunic or skirt. They are made in the same super comfy way the Thunderpants are. We suggest you buy the same size as your undies.
-
The Thunderpants fabric is 90% organically grown cotton and 10% spandex to give it that super comfy, soft stretchy feel. The waist and leg bands 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!

Best purchase ever! I wear them everyday for everything and they are definitely worth the price :) absolute bonus that they are ethical too woohoo!!
The tights were too long for me because they were made for people of normal height. I was able to shorten them without too much trouble so now they fit quite well and are very comfortable. They are great at the gym and under skirts.
The best tights. Lots of stretch means they fit perfectly. No other clothes fit the same or feel as comfortable and I feel great wearing them. Thanks Thunderpants.
So comfortable and super fun to wear. I get compliments all the time!
Great product...a replacement for my 10 year old pair
As always Thunderpants has created another classic and comfy pair of pants. I didn’t expect any less! Buy them in every print, be comfy, be seen!
I only get my tights at Thunderpants, comfortable and hard wearing thru are my weekend and after work uniform.
These leggings are so comfy, they feel light and stretchy on and they look amazing. I would wear them every day if I could get away with it at work.
Bought as a gift, as I love Thunderpants tights myself. My friend loved them too!
Fabric and fit are both terrific. My only reservation is that they are really long - actually too long for me , but I should have measured & perhaps got 3/4 instead ?
Best tights I have ever worn - so comfortable and flattering
Love the fact that my pants are made in NZ and are mostly cotton.
Soooo comfy and I am even wearing them today! Thanks Thunderpants!
Most fabulous leggings ever in the best print. Love them!
Great fit, comfy material and fun pattern. I ended up dyeing them blue because all my undies are black, but they still look great!
Gorgeous cut just like your straight legged pants, my body shape can always rely on Thunderpants to provide comfortable pants :)
Great service and product as usual
I'm obsessed. Thunderpants leggings are THE BEST, and this print is so fun but somehow still chic - I even dress these up for work sometimes. They have the usual Thunderpants comfort and high quality, so soft and thick and stretchy.
I've got four pairs of Thunderpants leggings, and I am a convert for life. I absolutely love them. Thick, soft and stretchy, they're so comfy. And they look great!
Lovely quality fabric, great pattern nice and long for those of us that are giraffes!
Love them ! The quality and design are awesome and so unique
I bought these tights for my teenage daughter and she loves them! They are comfortable and look fab!
Love them they are so comfy and easy to move in
I wanted to love these pants but the fabric is a bit thin, can definitely see my thundies through them when I bend over - so no good for yoga. Also they must be made for long-legged New Zealand amazons as I am 170 cm and they are inches too long.
The tights are very comfortable and light but warm and easy to launder.
Love these leggings - this print is fantastic!
I love these leggings and live in them thanks thunderpants
Good quality and comfy, but not really the fit I was expecting. A bit wider and looser at the lower leg end than I would have liked, despite pics on the website showing more of a close taper. My search for the perfect leggings continues...
The tights are great and just the right length with the cutting fee option. Brilliant!
O am very happy with my purchase
Good quality thick leggings. My daily attire for yoga and around the house in winter. (I have the 3/4 length version for warmer weather too).
Absolutely LOVE my new long black tights. They fit perfectly!! ( I am underpants size small and went for a medium in the tights ) Fabric is just the right thickness, beautiful quality, strong and stretchy. Sooo comfortable … love love love ❤️
I love my new black tights. The cotton is thick and soft and I feel fabulous wearing them. Best pair of black tights I have ever owned.
Like all thunderpants products need multiples.
Ordered size M, and the leggings slide down on me. I think they need a wider waistband or a different waistband. I am normally a size 14 and I did check the size and measurements. Very disappointed for the price, only washed it once and the black already looks old, together with them sliding down as walk.
Easy and convenient ordering experience. Prompt delivery as always and fit around the bottom is great. I'm short legged so, like my other pair of tights from Thunderpants I have a 'cuff' at the bottom. I used to think that I would get them shortened, but I've never got around to it and I rather like the 'cuff'. They wash well, but I'm careful to (a) use a laundry bag and (b) hang them on the line inside out. Oh, and if they are like my first pair of tights, they'll wear forever.
My warmth and comfort through the weird coldness that was Sydney winter (over seas Kiwi) I'm going to try them out as sun protection while kayaking, maybe, unless i decide they are too good for that.
I’d wear these every day if I could.
These are super comfortable, really well made, good fit, great fabric
