5 women tried Everlane's ReNew underwear and bra collection - here's how the sustainable styles actually feel to wear

I was surprised by the Barely There Thong's high waist, but it ended up being my favorite aspect. It maintains the versatility of a thong's zero-panty-line effect while also delivering a relatively unique — and really flattering — high-waist silhouette. Plus, since the material is slightly compressive, it feels more secure. Aside from being seamless, they're also bonded, so they stay put throughout the day.

Overall, I loved the functionality of this pair, as well as the look and functionality of a high-waist cut. The price isn't ideal, but I feel fine paying $33 for three ($11 per pair).

Like Ellen, I think these Barely There styles dethrone the Supima cotton thongs in comfort and style. They've joined my regular rotation with my other all-star everyday favorite, Tommy John. — Mara Leighton, reporter

I really liked that Everlane chose to give its thong a high rise fit. The best parts about thongs are their light weight and elimination of panty lines, but sometimes I do want that extra support in front for my stomach, so this style provides the perfect balance. The fabric is smooth and soft, and the waistband is stretchy without digging into my skin.— Connie Chen, reporter

I wanted to love this bra, but it wasn't a hit for me. I'm a 32 DD, and bralettes without adjustable bands are a total gamble; if the cups are big enough, the band is too loose. In terms of material, the bra is as comfortable and breathable as the rest of the line — and I love the idea of a wide, supportive band in the back. But, I got the large in this to fit my sister size of 34D, and the fit was off for my shape and size; the band was a bit too loose, and the cups ended up pulling too far to the sides to accommodate my breasts. — Mara Leighton, reporter

After putting on the Barely There underwear, I knew the Barely There bralette was going to be a garment I would sing praises to. I really liked the thick band that sat on my ribs and around my back. It didn't roll when I sat down or make me feel constricted like many other underwire bras do.

I'm a C cup, so I personally feel like I sit right on the cusp of being able to wear a bralette but also needing a supportive bra. I felt that the material was stretchy without lacking support, and the thick band below my breasts attributed to holding somewhat of a shape even though there is no padding in this bralette. On top of that, the recycled material is super soft and silky. After wearing it around, I already plan to take this bralette as my travel bra when I head to Iceland next week!— Francesca Rea, content producer

I'll spare you an in-depth review here and just say: This bra is not meant for large cup sizes. I'm a 36 DD and my boobs literally fell out of the bra from more than once, so it's a no from me. It had little to do with the band size and everything to do with the fact that the cups are cut small and truly just don't have enough material to secure larger cups. — Sally Kaplan, editor
