Negative Underwear was founded in 2014 by University of Pennsylvannia alum Lauren Schwab and Marissa Vosper, who left their jobs in corporate America to fund their own company. After taking night classes at FIT, they landed on the idea to start an intimates brand that filled a gap in a very male-dominated market. The duo chose to take a minimalist approach to intimates with a focus on comfort, quality, and function. Basically, we're talking about luxury without the lace.
If you appreciate lingerie and want something without frills, lacy trim, and bows, then Negative Underwear was made for you.
The brand sells beautifully-crafted intimates, swimwear, and loungewear. There are four main fabric options across intimate styles including mesh, micromodal, cotton, and a perforated nylon fabric. Each option is designed to support and cradle your body without digging, pulling, or squishing.
In line with its emphasis on luxury, minimalism, and sustainability, the brand exclusively uses fabrics sourced from OEKO-TEX certified mills that have been tested and deemed free of any harmful substances or chemicals. This careful approach means the fabrics are of a high quality that feels good and lasts.
But a brand can look amazing online and suck terribly when you test it out, especially with something so personal and easy to get wrong like our bras and underwear. We asked three testers who wear different sizes to test Negative Underwear intimates to see how they fit and felt compared to our favorites among the best underwear for women, and the response was almost unanimously positive. We broke our reviews down by product so you can read about how each style worked for different bodies.
