Easy to order. Arrived quickly and well made. I have thrown out all my other underpants and am now exclusively THUNDERPANTS
Sky Rise Goldfish
$38.00
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.

This favourte Greta Menzies print is covered in goldfish which are a Chinese symbol of good fortune and prosperity. These will bring you a little extra luck everytime you wear them!
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.

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, so will sit and stay right where they are meant to all day long.
-
The Thunderpants fabric is 90% 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!

Love them !!! Great quality and like no other type of underwear .
Omg Sky rise is the winter answer!! Love love them ( not that was unhappy with my originals ) but winter riding my motorcycle and skiing my bum is always cosy warm and never move
Love the 'sky rise' because they almost act as shape wear. Nice little butt lift there and pulls tummy in too, while still being those most comfortable undies ever. Even though they are granny size, they look so hip with those great designs, I don't feel frumpy in them at all. When I put on my thunderpants I know I'm going to have a great day.
Huge fan of Thunderpants at the best of times, recently got my first pair of sky rise to fit over my growing belly & they're been the perfect knickers for pregnancy, super comfy & great pattern!
I love the regular thundies, so thought I'd try the sky rise style & they're amazing! Super comfy 😊
Great quality and fit. I love my thundies and this new high-waisted style looks so good on any bodyshape!
Store owner replied: We love the Sky Rise too ❤️
I was so excited to see the sky high panties, bought a handful for a trip to try them out and they were sooo good. My preferred fit now, all I'll buy. Thanks so much!! xx
OMG Highrise thundies are next level! Now to get you guys to make them as standard in every fabric 😍
They are great comfortable fit. Will buy more!
When will you do some more pink ones in this style?🙂
Store owner replied: Kia ora Sonya, there are some on order now, hopefully they will arrive in the next week or too :)
Can I love these solely based on the colour? Cause these yellow undies are the vibe!
These are super high rise! Which makes them almost like sheer wear. Snug and comfy.
I love Thunderpants. I am a large arsed woman who needs a lot of coverage, and your undies provide that coverage. Thank you.
I love my thunderpants undies. Recently I had a sore back & they really helped to support my back. Will certainly be getting more of these 🤩 NG pants. Thanks.
These are my favourite of the Thunderpants styles, life the secure feeling and the look of the high waist. They fit true to size and the colours are always amazing!
Always fit well and comfortable
Orders always arrrive super fast, quality is excellent.
First sky rise I bought and i will be back for more! I wont be hiding my undies anymore, these will look great with jeans. Whats more is they give me confidence because they hug me and are extremely comfortable 😊🙏🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Best undies, really comfortable, fantastic colour! I am a size 12 and the medium fits me well.
Love the Sky Rise collection, great colours, super comfortable
Whats not yo love, super comfy undies
Exactly what I wanted. Don't ride and super comfy 👌
These underwear are a woman's best friend! Comfortable, soft and so wearable - no hungry backside affect here! :-)
So comfy and wash great.
I'm a devoted thunder wearer, so comfy!
Comfy and love the fabric
Comfortable and good to wear
Excellent product
They are a great fit. This one only got 4 stars because it isn't as pretty as some of the ones in nice bright colours.
Love my thunderpants - been a very happy customer for years. Thank-you
I just love my Thunderpants, sooo comfy, fun colours and best of all kiwi made. Thanks TP
Perfect for high rise jeans!!
They're the most comfortable set of underpants I've owned. And I know they last for years..
I live in Australia and have been wearing Thunderpants since I visited the Martinborough NZ store in about 2014! I have regularly added to my initial collection of three Thundies and now have two full drawers of lots of bright and colourful Thunderpants. They are comfortable, long-lasting and luscious!
Always comfortable
Love these undies so much, they sit up high enough that they never fold or roll over when I sit/bend/move and they never ride up my bum. Win win!
I required bowel surgery about 18 months ago and the scars on my stomach are very sensitive. Thunderpants are so comfortable. Too much information - sorry, not sorry!😂
The lightning flash is super cool 😎 And the high rise fit is comfy for my expanded belly and bottom
This was my first pair of sky rise and I am pleased! I sized up for extra comfort and they are the ultimate lounge underwear. No movement in the waist or buns. Love!
