Comics Action Print Panties for Women, Cotton Gusset

Action Print comes from the Comics range, where flat color is bounded by heavy outline. That style lives at its edges, and an edge that softens takes the style with it, so the print method matters more here than the subject does.

Why Ink and Color Separate

• Comic art lives at its edges. Flat color bounded by heavy outline is the whole style, and an edge that softens takes the style with it.
• Sublimation keeps the boundary hard. Dye sits inside the fiber, so there is no printed layer to lift where an outline meets a fill.
• Flat seams and no sewn-in label, so nothing raised sits across the artwork.
• A 95% cotton gusset under the outer knit, which is where the comfort of any pair is actually decided.

What Wash Does to Contrast

High contrast is where a printed layer fails first, because the boundary between a dark shape and a pale ground is under the most stress every time the fabric flexes. With the pigment held within the weave there is no boundary to fail at, which is why a bold design like this one still reads as deliberate after a year rather than looking rubbed.

Where a Bold Print Disappears

Under mid tones, dark tones and denim a comic print does not read at all, which covers most of a normal week. Heavy outlines are the first thing a light cloth picks up, so this is the wrong choice beneath cream or white and an easy one everywhere else. It is cut in a short run, the slip in Small, Large and X-Large and the thong in X-Large, so settle the size before you settle the cut. Beyond that it is no more an occasion item than a plain pair, flat at both edges and invisible under anything with texture.

Fabric, Sizes and Care

• Outer fabric: 83% polyester, 17% elastane.

• Sizes: slip in Small, Large and X-Large; thong in X-Large.
• How to measure: run the tape around the widest part of the hip.
• Hip measurement: Small 87 to 93 cm, Large 100 to 106, X-Large 106 to 116.
• Brand: Mememe, a label that describes itself as Ukrainian and states its underwear is made in Ukraine.
• Finish: flat seams, no elastic bands, no sewn-in labels.
• Care: gentle wash, hand ironing, no dry cleaning.

Before You Order

Why does the thong come in one size only? That is how this design is cut. The slip is made in Small, Large and X-Large; the thong in X-Large. Medium is not part of either.

Is the garment itself any different here? No. Same 83% polyester and 17% elastane outer, same 95% cotton gusset, same flat edges. Only the artwork and the size run differ.
