Collection: Tanga Briefs — all about comfort, all day long Organic cotton (95%), TENCEL™ Modal and at least 88% recycled nylon.

Women's tanga briefs, between a brief and a thong

Our women's tanga briefs sit between a brief and a thong, in at least 88% recycled nylon, at least 95% organic cotton or a TENCEL™ Modal (48%) blend, and nearly every style comes in XXS to XXL. Not quite a thong, not quite a full brief, and that is the point.

What is a tanga brief?

A tanga brief covers more at the back than a thong and less than a classic brief, so you get a lighter feel without going fully minimal. Many styles are cut a little higher on the leg, which gives a clean line under fitted trousers, jeans or a dress, and most sit on a soft waistband. If you like minimal underwear but a thong is a step too far, tanga underwear is the place to start.

Cotton tanga briefs, and what else we use

Our cotton tanga briefs are made with at least 95% organic cotton. We also make styles in TENCEL™ Modal (48%) blended with at least 47% organic cotton, and tanga briefs with at least 88% recycled nylon. Every style has a little elastane for stretch, and every product page lists the exact fabric composition. To see how we choose fabrics, explore our approach to choosing materials in our FAQ.

Which other cuts sit close to a tanga?

Briefs and boxer briefs sit on the fuller side of a tanga, and thongs on the lighter side. For a bit more coverage, our women's briefs are the classic next step, and our women's boxer briefs add a longer leg. If you want less, our women's thongs have the most minimal cuts, and the full women's underwear collection lets you compare every shape side by side.

Sizes and care

Pick the size you wear in our other underwear, and check the size guide on the product page if you are between sizes. Many styles also go up to XXXL. Machine wash cold to help the band keep its stretch, and skip the tumble dryer.
