I am giving 5 stars because they are beautifully made knickers and I love the associated ethical and sustainable values. I also appreciate that they are slightly larger than the original Big Knickers. However, I would still like a few more centimetres added to the height. They do not come up as high on me as they appear to on the models, obviously because of my body fat - but I suspect that’s the case with most of us who aren’t models. I am not wanting Nanna knickers, just something that doesn’t show a VPL if I am wearing trousers/skirt of fine material with a short top that doesn’t cover that area.

Very comfortable
The Liberty Pansy Big Knickers look pretty and are very comfortable. They have less stretch in them than nylon undies, so keep that in mind when choosing your size. I will purchase more in this style.

Cute print and nice fabric but not a good fit
I was super excited to receive my Liberty Pansy Big Knickers and am so happy to support landfill diversion by buying compostable panties! However, unfortunately the fit of these underwear were not the best. I felt tight in them and like the seams were cutting into my skin and I sized up ! I'm usually a M in most of my underwear but got an L because I read previous reviews that they run a bit small. Loved the print and the feel of the fabric but not a great fit and also not very flattering on my body. I'm so grateful for the companies mission though and maybe these fit better for slimmer builds!
So sorry to hear this Nicola, briefs are less universally fitting without spandex. We do recommend you try on over other undies first so we can take a return.

Gorgeous!
I love them. They are comfortable, don’t cut in, don’t ride up, and the pattern is so pretty. I’d love a period undie version some time in the future. Thanks for committing to plastic free products.

Comfy coverage
Love the comfort and fit provided by these undies. I also have them in poppy and hazel. The pansy print is my favorite though. Very cute. After wearing these and enjoying the soft fabric I can’t wear anything else.
Welcome to our second collaboration with iconic UK Liberty Fabric! The word Pansy derives from the latin verb Pensare - to take everything into consideration, to think! We love this, the thinking woman's bra - Pansy :-)
The body of the bra is organic cotton with a print in REACH dyes. This design is almost identical to our original Liberty bra (read reviews here), except we have removed the banding on the frame and cups to make it sit flatter and more streamlined. As ever, it has no underwires and is super soft on the body. The front V wire gives great separation and support across all sizes, and works particularly well with larger cups. The bra has a woven organic cotton liner in the band that sits next to the body and anchors it in place, preventing it stretching over time. Because there is no spandex in the bra, it can run a little smaller in size than your regular bra as it has less stretch.
Everything in this bra, from the elastic, tencel sewing thread and custom-made hook and eye pieces is botanically circular, designed to break down in nature at end-of-life and leave no trace. A true plastic-free bra.

I was a little wary to have made this purchase, imagining the size would be off and I’d have to return it. The wary was never needed! The size has worked out very well and I love this bra, it’s cute pattern, how well it fits, and of course I love that it’s happy for the planet.

Lovely Pansy
As previously reviewed, I love the V for Victory bra - this is my 5th pair! - and the Liberty Pansy is a very pretty print.

At last, the perfect bra!
This bra is the most comfortable I have had, and it is a very flattering fit as well (much more flattering than I expected- it is a lovely shape and cut). But what I am most happy about is that is is compostable at the end of its life! Recently I have been feeling so tired of products that are nearly eco- friendly, but not quite- but this bra has fixed the problem! I am so glad to have finally found a place to buy underwear that I can feel 100% happy about!
A new style for us, hello high-leg brief in an exquisite Liberty Fabric Pansy print!
With a higher leg at the front, and a more traditional brief cut at the back, these briefs are bang on trend.

This brief has elastic in the waist and legs. These briefs contain no spandex in order to keep them fully compostable, so they have lessstretch and you may want to size up if on the cusp.

These underwear are very well made and incredibly cute. They do not have any give, so they were unfortunately a bit tight on my thighs where the holes are but perfect on my hips even though I measured before picking the size. So maybe next time I'll order a size up and take in the seams in the hips? Regardless, I am happy with their mission and the quality and can't wait to try more!
