Commando

( William DeShazer, Chicago Tribune / September 30, 2011 )

Worn by runway models at New York Fashion Week — designer Prabal Gurung called Commando's seamless thong a "show must-have" — these totally seamless "invisible" underwear have precision-cut edges that leave no lines or bulges. The firm yet stretchy, matte material (nylon/spandex) has a nice weight and comes in a variety of fun colors and designs, in addition to three shades of nude. Our reviews of the "girl short" were mixed on ride-up: Some testers said they stayed put, while others reported they slid up and wrinkled in the back while walking.
