Hand printed right here in our workroom by Geoff. These may have print imperfections but that just adds to their rugged individuality!

These pants glow under black light, great for wearing at a festival, a rave or just at home if you have a black light. Swipe to see a picture showing how cool they look.

Our Original Thunderpants style first made in 1995! These are a flat fronted style with a soft gusset made from the same soft fabric as the outer garment. If you require extra room in the front you may want to look at our Pouch Fronted garments.

  • Fit
  • Fabric
  • Care
  • The original comfy undies that don't go up your bum. This very comfortable full brief sits in the natural crease at the top of the leg and just under the navel. Thunderpants are cut with enough fabric to cover your rear end and the comfy bands hold them in place so even the most active folk will no longer need to readjust their underwear.

  • The Thunderpants fabric is 90% cotton and 10% spandex to give it that super comfy, soft stretchy feel. The waist and leg bands are constructed in the same, lovely fabric eliminating the need for the addition of nasty, grippy elastic and adding to the enjoyment of your Thunderpants experience. All the garments are made locally and lovingly in New Zealand. 

  • To preserve the vibrant colours and life of the fabric we suggest you do not soak or bleach your Thunderpants items. Use a gentle detergent in a cold machine wash and dry your Thunderpants on the line, not in the drier. 

Your Thunderpants are not only super comfy but they are designed to withstand some pretty staunch stuff, so get into them and get on out there!

Thomas J. ★★★★★

The blacklight effect is incredible, I got so many compliments at the club. The slight print imperfections really do give them a unique, handcrafted feel that I love.

Natalie L. ★★★★★

I wore these to an outdoor festival and they got so many compliments under the black light—the glow is really bright. The hand-printed look gives them a cool, one-of-a-kind feel that stood out from everyone else's gear. Comfortable fit too, even after hours of dancing.

Eva ★★★★★

The print imperfections really do give them character, and they looked amazing under the black lights at the club. The fabric is surprisingly comfortable for a full day of dancing.
