My search for the most comfortable pair of underwear...

FABRIC QUALITY + DETAILS

I desperately wanted to give ARQ an A+ for fabric quality, but I do have one complaint: the stitching thread could be stretchier.

What is being judged:

Grade: A

These are sturdy panties, people. You can tell that they are made with love and with serious attention to details.

MANUFACTURING QUALITY

Grade: A+

What is being judged:

The attention to sustainability even extends to their packaging. My ARQ underwear arrived in packaging that is entirely plastic-free and recycle-able.

ETHICAL PRACTICES & SUSTAINABILITY

Grade: A+

What is being judged:

In terms of sizing, I wish they offered a more in-depth range. Right now, they offer XS, SM, MD, LG, XL, 1X, 2X, 3X and my definition of inclusive sizing is to go up to 5X.

INCLUSIVITY

Grade: B+

What is being judged:

ARQ recommends washing them in cold water and line drying, which is basically what I do.

WASHABILITY

Grade: A

What is being judged:

I cannot even express to you how freaking COMFORTABLE my ARQ high-rise undies are… no bunching, no wedgies, no riding up, no sagging… just great fitting underwear that actually makes me feel confident.
