The product is generally well-received for its comfort, breathability, and quick-drying properties, making it a popular choice for travel and outdoor activities. Many customers appreciate the durability, but some recent reviews indicate a decline in quality and fit compared to older versions, with issues like loose elastic, less coverage, and changes in the overall cut. While most customers still find the product comfortable, a significant number are disappointed by the apparent drop in quality.
Great to wear under my bike shorts so I can do an impromptu swim, they are so light and quick drying.

Everlasting panties
These panties are a little pricey but they do last a long time. You don’t need to put them in the dryer either. They air dry very quickly without any help at all.

Not the right fit for my wife.
I got these for my wife. They just did not fit her comfortably, so we had to return them.

Nice, basic panties. These are cut a bit smaller than the panties I bought a few seasons ago - not a deal breaker - just different.

Travel underwear
Very handy to take on extended travel as they wash easily in the sink or shower and dries relatively quickly depending on humidity level. Comfortable to wear and breathes so that

Such a disappointment!
I have been wearing ExOfficio for years. They must have out sourced this product as it is not at all the same. The fabric was inferior and of poor quality. Such a disappointmen

Liners don’t stick
Panty liners won’t stick. That makes these useless regardless of fit.

Don’t buy these.
Not the quality that they used to be. Very disappointed since they are all I wear.

In 2020, Ex Officio changed the fabric content for these bikinis from 89% to 94 % nylon, and 11% to 6% elastane which also changed the item number. We are sorry if you were disappointed.

Very stretchy undies, which is good, since size XS turns out to be size 0-2. I normally wear size 4. Pretty comfortable. I wish the leg opening elastic was fabric covered. It would
