Holidaymakers get 'perfect' compact women's underwear that washes and dries 'in no time'

When it comes to travelling light, underwear presents one of the trickiest packing challenges, particularly on extended journeys where comfort, rapid washing and minimal bulk are paramount. However, shoppers claim they've discovered a "perfect" answer in women's knickers that launder and dry "in no time" whilst being compact enough to fit inside a lipstick tube. Paire's Lipstick Underwear has been engineered specifically with travel in mind, packaged in a streamlined lipstick-style container that slides effortlessly into hand luggage, rucksacks or sports bags.The ingenious packaging has garnered attention online, with customers applauding how practical the underwear proves for holidays, trekking expeditions and extended travel. Manufactured by Australian essentials brand Paire, the Lipstick Underwear prioritises comfort and functionality over fleeting fashion trends. "We made these because travel makes normal underwear annoying," said Nathan Yun, co-founder of Paire.Yun went on: "Lipstick Underwear is genuinely comfortable, it packs down into a lipstick-size case, and we use RegSilk protein fibre in the gusset so it feels cleaner over long days."First available is the Classic Bikini Lipstick Underwear - Pack of 3 for £36, reports the Mirror. These are available in sizes XS-M or L-2XL and the three-pack features a mixture of colours: sky blue, peachy and midnight. The knickers are described as 'lightweight' and both travel and skin-friendly.According to Paire, the underwear offers odour control and fresh-feel advantages due to being crafted from RegSilk protein fibre - regenerated silk cocoon protein fibres. Additionally, they incorporate rapid dry technology, enabling them to be dried in merely 60 seconds with a conventional hair dryer.An alternative available on the Paire website is the Full Brief Lipstick Underwear - Pack of 3 for £39. These are offered in identical sizes: XS-M or L-2XL, plus the mixed colour pack or all black option.The primary distinction lies in the cut and style, as they're briefs instead of bikinis. They remain exceptionally lightweight, ensuring they won't be visible beneath garments.Both packages provide savings when purchasing multiple items - any two for 5% off, any three for 10% off and any four for 15% off.For those seeking an alternative, the Sloggi 3pk High Waisted Full Briefs for £28 are available from M&S. These are stocked in sizes 10 to 28, with shoppers reporting they fit accurately to size.They're constructed from a soft material which reportedly provides a gentle stretch for a flattering fit, whilst the high-waist style delivers additional coverage and support.A marginally pricier choice is the Jude 2 Pack Leak Proof Pants High Brieffor £45 from QVC. These are available in sizes small to 3XL and are engineered for 'comfort and confidence', featuring a proof leak construction.Nevertheless, Paire's Lipstick Underwear have attracted glowing reviews. One shopper said: "I bought my first bundle for overseas travel. They were perfect, easy to wash and dry and really comfortable. I have since bought another bundle. I am a 14. I have some of each size. Both fit. The larger size gives me full butt coverage and a nice high waist at the belly button. I got the smaller size for when I need them to sit under the belly button but still with fullish butt coverage."Another commented: "These were great for a recent hike, where I was trying to keep weight to a minimum. So light, easy to wash and dry, and super comfy. No wedgies! These are my go-to hiking underwear now."A handful of others awarded four stars, for example: "Very comfortable but beware if you tend to have longer nails and it's very easy to punch through the fabric with them if you're not careful (lesson learned lol)."Most purchasers were satisfied with their buy however, with one customer writing: "These will be great for overseas holidays, so light. Easy to wash and dry in no time."Paire's Full Brief Lipstick Underwear- Pack of 3 costs £39.
