About

Our love language is empathy

It doesn’t get more intimate than underwear, and we embrace that closeness by being real and open about what some might deem taboo. We talk about sexual health, changing bodies, mental health, and relationships. We want to know what you think–how you speak about your own body.

We’ve been around for a while. Since 1977, actually. We’re like your wise older sister who lived abroad, your best friend who has her life together but also knows what it’s like not to have your life together at all–there’s no judgement here. We’re here to make you comfortable in every way we can–in your undies and in your own skin.

We want to lift you up, but we also want to take the pressure off: You don’t have to be your best self all the time. All you have to be is yourself—all the versions of you. The you on a good day, the you on a bad day, the boss you, the lazy weekend you, the PMS you, the you that takes self-care seriously—and every you in between.

Founding Story

It began with a hanky.

Parsons-trained designer, Gale Epstein, had long been repurposing vintage clothing for her Recycled by Gale line when, in 1977, her unconventional eye landed on embroidered cotton handkerchiefs. Making a bra-and-bikini set for her friend Lida Orzeck, she was intrigued by the idea of turning the modest Victorian-era fabric into a more empowering statement.

Orzeck saw an opportunity in her beautifully tailored gift. As did Lord & Taylor’s Buyer, placing an order of 144 sets. And the rest, as they say, is history – quite literally, an original version of the set lives in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s permanent collection.

BuzzFeed - Oct 09, 2025 28 Pieces Of Lingerie Under $50 That Look Expensive Without Breaking The Bank "Promising reviews: "These retro high rises stretch to fit, feel like nothing but air, and make your butt look AMAZING! I love that they are made in the USA too!" —Elliot R. "I absolutely love my plus-sized retro laced thongs that I bought a while ago, and had to buy three more pairs! They are so pretty and very comfortable!!" —Sara C. Get it from Amazon for $26.82+ (available in one size that claims to fit sizes 0–12 and 11 colors/patterns) or Hanky Panky for $28 (available in one size that claims to fit sizes 0–12 and in nine colors; and a plus size that claims to fit sizes 14–24 from Amazon or Hanky Panky!)."

ELLE Singapore - Oct 07, 2025 The Best Lingerie Brands To Know About Right Now "For barely-there everyday underwear that still looks – and feels – special, look no further than Hanky Panky. The New York brand has been crafting colourful knickers and comfy bralettes in its signature stretch-lace ever since the Seventies. Sets come in a rainbow of colours, and make for an excellent gift thanks to their failsafe one-size-fits-all construction."

Testimonials

Extremely comfortable and lightweight set. Good if your weight fluctuates a bit or if you struggle with bloating. The elastic is very soft and flexible, and the waistline sits low, allowing for a secure but roomy fit. Looks good under clothes, seamless beneath work trousers. Seems to be holding up well in wash.

I was skeptical of the one-size-fits-all thongs - UNTIL I wore them when I wasn't pregnant and then just now tried them on while I'm 30 weeks pregnant and they STILL fit me.

Kaila Przymus

Might seem pricey, but these are amazing. Forgiving stretch for my curves, no show on my leggings and don't feel like I have to adjust a wedgie every 20 min like some thongs do.

these panties lived up to my expectations. They're comfortable, they make you feel sexy, and their soft lace is super cozy. I love them, they'll be my favorites.
