    What’s a girl with an oily face to do when she doesn’t want to use conventional oil absorbing powder because it contains talc and other potentially harmful ingredients? Jane Iredale makes a great oil absorbing powder that uses rice starch. We also love the Purelash Extender & Conditioner because it helps our short lashes appear longer and the Purepressed Base SPF 20 because it goes on light and smooth and provides great blemish coverage.

  • Dr. Recommended Health Tips

    05.23.2012 2 Comments

    Since Marie (half of the RX Undies team) is a practicing physician, we thought we’d share her top six tips for maintaining feminine health.


    1) Try to avoid wearing underwear made with synthetic or non-breathable material over the gusset (crotch). The gusset should be made from natural/organic material and the main fabric of the underwear should be breathable; mesh fabric is ideal). This ensures that moisture won’t be trapped when you exercise, sweat, etc.


    2) Never wear pants that are too tight. Ladies, there needs to be a little breathing room and chaffing is never a good thing.


    3) Machine wash your underwear with warm/hot water. Hot water is the best for disinfecting. Hand-washed clothes often aren’t washed sufficiently or rinsed well, and soap residue can lead to irritation and infection.


    4) Don’t douche. Douching washes out normal flora giving other bacteria the chance to grow and disrupt the healthy balance. This can lead to unpleasant symptoms or infection. The vagina is a miraculous part of your body and can keep itself clean and balanced.


    5) Use sanitary products made from organic/unbleached cotton. You don’t need cotton grown with the use of pesticides or that has been chemically bleached up against your sensitive lady parts. Pads don’t allow for air flow and can trap moisture near the surface of the skin, so use them sparingly.


    6) Be careful with bikini-area hair removal. Marie recommends shaving with a sharp razor and a healthy shaving cream. Don’t use depilatory cream; you don’t need anything that is potent enough to dissolve hair entering your blood stream (eek). Marie routinely sees patients suffering from folliculitis from waxing (an infection in the hair follicle after the hair is ripped out, particularly from self-waxing). If you must wax, go to a professional and make sure the wax used doesn’t contain any harmful ingredients.

  • Zumba

    05.14.2012 1 Comment

    We were delighted when we started receiving feedback from fitness professionals who tried and loved RX Undies. Kristina, who teaches Zumba in Massachusetts, shook, shimmied, and salsa-ed in her RX Undies and she let us know that she had a great experience (nary a wedgie arose… pun intended). Kristina was kind enough to sit down with us and answer a few questions.


    How long have you been teaching Zumba?
    “I’ve been teaching Zumba for three years”


    What first interested you in Zumba?
    “I stated taking classes with my mother and a friend who wanted to go and I got hooked! It’s like a workout in disguise.”


    Tell us what you thought of RX Undies.
    “I like the design; I really like the way RX Undies look. I like how high the liner comes up; it feels secure. I also like the hygiene factor. I prefer thong underwear and like that RX Undies have bamboo fabric – it makes them a great fit for teaching Zumba.”


    How did RX Undies perform while you were teaching Zumba?
    “Sometimes traditional thongs ride up, and when you are in front of sixty people it’s awkward to stop and adjust. There is so much potential for undies to shift while doing Zumba moves, and I didn’t get a single wedgie with RX Undies. There was no adjusting necessary; I felt like they didn’t move.”


    Thanks for your time and feedback, Kristina!




  • Original Sprout Hair Care

    05.09.2012 No Comments

    We have searched high and low for a non-toxic conditioner that actually conditions. The scalp is very porous and easily absorbs whatever is rubbed on the surface, so we carefully read the labels of product after product, making sure each contained nothing toxic and no hormone disruptors. Our bathrooms are now littered with products we purchased with our fingers crossed, hoping for soft, shiny, lustrous locks. We lathered, rinsed, and repeated only to find that our hair was dry and frizzy. Thankfully, we have now found the Original Sprout line of hair care products. We like the shampoo, deep conditioner, leave-in conditioner, and the Tahitian hair oil.


    Original Sprout products contain no natural or synthetic ingredients linked with estrogen & hormone disruption, cancer & autism such as: Phthalates, Dioxanes 1, 4, Sulfates, Parabens, Formaldehyde, Propylene Glycol, Dipropylene Glycol, Acetaldehydes, Styrene, Toluene, Glycol Ethers, Ethylene Oxide, Musk, Lavender or Tea Tree Oils, Clove, Soy, Nonylphenol, Mineral or Petroleum Oils, Triclosan, Eurethane, 1-2 Propylene Oxide, Placenta, Synthetic Colors & Titanium Dioxide or Nanoparticles.

  • Meet Kendra, RX Undies Model

    05.03.2012 No Comments

    Kendra is one of our fabulous RX Undies models. We loved her because despite having a teeny tiny waist, she had a super-cute, shapely butt… perfect for modeling RX Undies! Kendra just moved to NYC to pursue her modeling career, but between go-sees and modeling gigs she took a few minutes to answer some questions so that we could get to know her better.


    Where are you from?
    I’m originally from Maine, way out in the country! I just moved to Manhattan, NY from Boston recently though. Very exciting!

    How long did you live in Boston?
    I lived in Boston for about a year before I moved to NYC.

    Favorite thing about Boston?
    It was a lot calmer than New York which I loved and I loved the people there. I miss it still go back at least once a month to see friends or for work.

    What did you/are you studying in school?
    I was studying psychology but left to pursue my career in acting and modeling full time. It’s been working out for me so far!

    Where would you most like to visit?
    I’m planning a trip to Europe soon and want to go everywhere! I also want to venture to Australia soon.

    What is your favorite book and/or movie?
    I’m a big Vladimir Nabokov fan, I love all of his novels and my favorite film is Fight Club.

    What’s playing on your iPOD right now?
    The “In for the Kill,” Skrillex remix.

    What do you like to do for fun?
    I love writing, reading, museums, dancing! I love to go out a lot and enjoy all the sights here in the city.

    Tell us about a fun/amazing modeling gig that you’ve done.
    I just finished up an ad recently for the fragrance Lolita Lempicka and have been featured in two music videos, which have all been incredible experiences!

    What outfit/skirt/pair of pants necessitates wearing your RX Undies/a thong?
    I love wearing my RX thong with my crop jean shorts from Nasty Gal with a basic tank top and Jeffery Campbells!

  • Doctor approved thong underwear?

    05.01.2012 No Comments

    What is doctor approved thong underwear? We tested RX Undies on female doctors and nurses and asked for their feedback. We asked that each participant in our RX Undies test run wear a pair of RX Undies at least twice and report back to us regarding the experience. Our test group told us that they would recommend RX Undies to other medical professionals and to their friends and family, and gave RX Undies their endorsement/approval. Here is some of the feedback we received:

    “On par with the highest quality thong underwear with the advantage of the different design, the larger size range, and a nicer liner!” – ObGyn

    “I’m an ObGyn, so my day includes lots of walking, sitting, standing, and bending – I found RX Undies to be very comfortable.” – ObGyn

    “I was really impressed by the softness [of RX Undies].” – ObGyn

    “I really liked the design. Fit nicely on body but didn’t feel too tight. Hid well under clothes.” – ObGyn

    “I would wear thongs more often given how comfy these were.” – ObGyn

    “I hate panty lines but find traditional thongs uncomfortable. I loved these!” – MD

    “I had an excellent overall experience with RX undies!! As I am entering into the nursing field, I know the importance of hygiene in that area. I rarely find underwear that fit properly and the design felt as though they were made especially for me.” – RN

    “YES! I never thought I would be so enthusiastic about underwear, but RX undies are amazing!”- RN
