We all know how rare plus size clothes are. But even less accessible is plus size underwear. If you shop at a big box store, you may have several options available.
But what if you want to shop sustainably and keep your underwear cute and comfortable?

Their line includes modern and updated classic styles rooted in nostalgia. Sizes range from XXS to 6X. If you live in the McMinnville, Oregon area, you can arrange a time to receive your order in person.
Five. snug tights
You’ve probably heard of Snug Tights because of our comprehensive sock line. But did you know that we sell underwear in sizes 1 to 34? Snagtights believes that every body has the right to express itself through clothing. This is regardless of body size or shape, race, gender or other factors.
Their production process is carbon neutral and they use recycled water in their vegan and animal free dyeing system. Snagtights is committed to sustainability and has a recycling program.
6. canticle
CantiqLA was founded by Chelsea Hughes to create quality handmade lingerie for all body types. Their brand focuses on the lingerie aspect, but if you’re looking for sexy underwear, this brand is for you.
CantiqLA believes that lingerie should not conform to beauty standards and actively seeks to expand the concept of inclusivity. Sizes are available from XS to 6X.
7. cheek boss
Cheek Boss was founded by Ashley ‘Gia’ Schendel, creator of POP Fit Clothing. After creating the leggings for POP Fit, she thought the next thing to do was create seamless plus-size underwear to wear under those leggings.
Cheek Boss focuses on inclusivity, expression and body positivity. Only available in sizes up to 4X. However, looking at the size chart, Cheek Boss’s size 4X is pretty much comparable to his 5X in Torrid, especially if you have big hips.
Headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, all aspects of our business are conducted in-house.
8. harper wilde
Harper Wilde is aggressively expanding its size range and doing it the right way by getting input from plus size people. Their No-Show and Cloud Cotton collections are now available up to 4x. However, we are working on extending it to 5X and 6X.
We also created the industry’s first bra recycling program, Recycle, Bra. Bras usually end up in landfills because donation centers won’t accept them. But through this program, you can recycle any brand of bra or plus size underwear through Harper Wilde.
