What makes these prints different
Both the Hipster Smiley Face and Hipster Banana are fairtrade, low-waist hipster styles from Thunderpants. They share the same flat-fronted cut with a soft gusset made from the same fabric as the outer garment. The key difference is the print and the dispatch time.

The Hipster Banana is a standard printed design that ships without the extra wait. If you value a one-of-a-kind piece, the Smiley Face is worth the delay. If you need your new underwear sooner, the Banana is the practical choice.
