Cinnamon Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I am a big fan of Thunderpants,after reading about them here (of course!) For those who are unaware of them,here is a link - they are fab! https://www.thunderpants.co.nz/go/home/ Anyhow,I see they do swim pants & halter tops & I wondered if anyone has tried them? I have ordered some,& I just hope they can get them here to me from NZ in time for my holiday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Never tried them....not even seen them TBH, but I notice that I have a local stokist so do please tell me what you think of them . When is your holiday though . In my experience it takes an average of 5-7 days for post to arrive in the UK from NZ. Strangely enough it seems to be more like 7-10 days for post from the UK to turn up here . I hope it arrives in good time for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 YES! They were recommended by someone on here last year, if you search for Thunderpants you might find the thread. Being of comfortable build, I prefer to wear two-pieces, i.e. tankini tops and big knickers, it feels more holidayish than my Speedo swimsuits which I use for the gym pool, but more comfortable than a 'fashion' swimsuit or a bikini - haven't worn one of those for years. I ordered two pairs - they came quite quickly as I recall - and they are brilliant, they are quite thick and so they take a bit longer to dry than the more flimsy ones, but are really practical and comfortable. I love them. And it avoided the dreaded waxing problem, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 Thanks Olly. Being of a more traditional build myself,I have found the knickers to be fantastic - no more hungry bum sydrome for me I have high hopes for the swimwear too - just hope it gets here on time!

Olly Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 - no more hungry bum sydrome for me marvellous ... I think that should go in the Omlet dictionary! Maybe it was you who recommended the site in the first place, must admit I haven't tried the knickers but I may go back and look at them. I don't do 'cheesewires'!

hillfamily Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Let me know what they are like Sarah - I'm a Thunderpants girl aswell If the swimwear is as comfortable as the undies then I may get a set when I order some more undies later this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Oh gosh what have I started. Could this get bigger than crocs? I do love thunderpants clothing. It's all so comfy and well made. I've yet to meet someone that didn't love them. Please let us know how the swimwear goes. I've been thinking about treating myself to some.

Cinnamon Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 Forgot to update this. The pieces came the day before my hols & are just brilliant. Nice,thick fabric & really well cut. The halter neck top is especially good on my shape.And there was no roll up between the top & the pants like there can be with a tankini I would highly recommend them Oh, & they washed up like a dream too.

theherd123 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Sarah anyone would think you liked underwear or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 .And there was no roll up between the top & the pants like there can be with a tankini I would highly recommend them . That's good I bought a tankini once and it kept separating in the middle especially when I got out of the water and I ended up looking like a burst matress Karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I might look at them for Rosie then - she loves big knickers and also tankini swim wear. Having a boyish figure, I like to try things on before i buy them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
