Travel Underwear – The SEXY Pair!?

Sofia November 14, 2010 Travel Advice 13 Comments

Next year ExOfficio is launching a whole new collection called Lacy, and they sent me a free pair to test. ExOfficio has listened to their customers’ feed back about the not so sexy travel underwear style, and this new collection claims to be the sexy underwear style.

Their new slogan is – 17 countries. 6 week. One Pair of SEXY underwear.

Travel Underwear – The SEXY Pair!?   rtw travel advice    travel underwear travel clothing travel advice stomp on slogan sexy underwear sexy travel promises panties lacy underwear job hard core free pair few days exofficio excess fabric climates climate blogsherpa I’ve been trying out the Lacy underwear for the last few days, and I must say they’ve done a great job! The updated version is better (and sexier) in many ways.

I’ve never liked underwear with a high brief, which is something I don’t need to worry about with these panties.

In a previous post I complained about how I found it difficult to find any sexy travel underwear (and other travel clothing in general), so I was thrilled to find that this new collection kept their promises.

The Lacy brief is low-cut with a nice, slightly V-shaped front.

The Material

The material is very comfortable, and the fabric stays close and tight to the skin, no excess fabric hanging on the back like I’ve experienced with other travel underwear.

I haven’t had the underwear for very long so I can’t tell you what they will look like in a months time, but so far I’m impressed.

I washed them and followed their instructions on how to dry them (wrap them in a towel and stomp on it) and hung them up in a cold slightly damp climate.

At the same time I washed a sock and hung it up to dry, to compare the two and see whether they really dried faster than a thin sock.

When the underwear was dry the sock was still wet, and it would take a few hours more until it would be dry enough to wear.

The underwear is made in a quick drying, odor resistant and moisture wicking material, which feels really nice on the skin.

They’re very breathable and even after a hard core half hour workout I’m still comfortable wearing them.

Worth It?

YUP- I’m definitely bringing these panties along on my travels, I might even get myself a few more pairs!

The Lacy collection comes in Brief style and thong style, I wish they would have them in a hot pant or boy short style too, but if you want to wear something tight and not get that pantie line showing, the thong works for that.

Psssst! They launch the collection next year, BUT you can already get them on REI.com!

(disclaimer: We received a free pair of underwear from ExOfficio)

    I love their new slogan. I have to agree, comfort is one thing that is very important when you travel. If this set of underwear an provide that, then I’m getting one too!

    This is a great idea. Ladies, there is NO excuse for wearing unsexy underwear!

    I also bought a pair of ExOfficio before my RTW but hated how they were granny panties. One day I lost them in the laundry and I wasn’t sad to see them go.

    Wonder if they’re available in Canada as we don’t have REI.

    Hahaha, love that you reviewed “travel panties.” I think it’s important to always bring some sexy underwear along when traveling. Never know who you’ll meet, wink wink!

    You should complain about not being able to find sexy travel bras and send us a review of their bra collection. :)

    I had no idea there were travel panties, let alone sexy ones… but I agree, there is no reason to start wearing grannies just b/c you’ve got a backpack strapped on! ewww
