Which is better for everyday wear?

The SKIMS thong suits daily wear better for most people because the mid-rise cut and 10% elastane hold their shape. The Subset is the pick if you wear low-rise pants and want a barely-there feel.

Which has better fabric?

Subset uses GOTS-certified organic cotton, which SKIMS does not claim. SKIMS uses a lighter 1-ply cotton jersey with more stretch.

Which is better for sensitive skin?

SKIMS lists a 100% cotton gusset, which helps for breathability where it matters. Subset's whole body is organic cotton, so both are reasonable; the gusset detail favors SKIMS.

The SKIMS thong's higher elastane helps it keep shape through washes. Subset's cotton is soft and may relax sooner, though both are thin knits that wear with regular washing.

Is the Subset worth stepping up to over the SKIMS?

Only if organic certification and an ultra-low rise matter to you. Otherwise the SKIMS thong is the more conventional everyday cut.

Which fits better under low-rise jeans?

The Subset thong, because its ultra-low waist sits below the waistband. The SKIMS mid-rise can peek above low-rise pants.

Subset Organic Cotton Low-Rise Thong vs SKIMS Everyday Cotton Thong

Buy the Subset thong if you want a low-rise cut in certified organic cotton with a high rating across a large number of reviews. Buy the SKIMS Everyday Cotton Thong if you prefer a mid-rise fit and a cotton gusset, and you are fine with a thinner 1-ply knit. Subset wins on certification and rise; SKIMS wins on gusset construction and a wider size and color range.

Choose the Subset thong if you want an ultra-low waist, GOTS-certified organic cotton and a barely-there fit under low-rise pants.
Choose the SKIMS thong if you want a mid-rise everyday thong with a 100% cotton gusset and a knit that fits true to size.
