⭐ 1 Star — Misleading Sizing Advice & Limited Refund Before purchasing, I contacted Step One to confirm if the period knickers had the same stretch and fit as the regular women’s underwear. I was assured they did. Based on that advice, I bought two pairs of period knickers and some regular undies. The regular ones fit perfectly — soft, stretchy,… Read more
and very comfortable. But the period knickers are completely different: much smaller, far less stretch, and I couldn’t even get them on. When I contacted Step One, I was told they couldn’t refund worn pairs due to hygiene — even though I only washed them before trying, as I do with all clothing.
They eventually refunded one pair under the First Pair Guarantee, but not the second, even though I only bought them based on incorrect information from their own customer service.
If I’d been told upfront that the period knickers have less stretch and a smaller fit, I wouldn’t have ordered them. I’m disappointed both by the misleading advice and the limited refund response.
Purchased a few pairs of the women’s underwear and they’re not seamless and they claim. I’ve contacted the company 3 times to query whether I’ve received the correct product and request a refund and they ignore all responses. No trouble previously with the men’s underwear but I’m pretty sure the women’s are just on there to accommodate the missing market and scam people. Beware. 30 day money back is false. Show details
Pretty average. Thin, cheap material. XS is feeling like a Medium, having way too much material in back and front, and sliding up my legs every 5 minutes. At this point, I will just go back to Bonds. Show details

The next best thing to commando style – These are the most comfy undies ever.Ladies just be mindful .You may need to wash a few times for a panty liners to stick as they are super soft . Show details
Will be coming back for more – First time trying these and they are great! I tried a few different styles including the bra, thong, and the briefs. The fit was perfect and they are the comfiest undies I’ve ever had. I had an issue with my shipment and the team were on to immediately and got it resolved. Definitely going to be a return customer and won’t be shopping anywhere else.
AMAZING isn’t enough – Absolutely amazing. Comfy. Light. Breathable. Amazing colours. Cannot fault. They don’t ride up or fall down. Highly highly recommend Show details
Customer Care is Amazing – Purchased the mystery styles after hearing great things from friends. Unfortunately I did find some of the different patterns to have sizing inconsistency, where they were shorter and tighter despite being the same size as the rest. I contacted customer care and almost immediately they were messaging me back to fix the issue. Maj had replacement… Read more
shorts sent out in less than a day.
The other patterns are exceptional, fit beautifully and I haven’t had to even think about chaffing for days. Would absolutely recommend.
U just gotta get some! – My first order was so confident I ordered 5 pairs, first day wearing I was super excited, but realised I had oversized my order. So a simple email to ask about returns was sent. I was blown away by immediately response with very easy to follow. Super nice communication makes me feel like they care. I know they do! Customer service goes above and… Read more
beyond to ensure you’re happy. The first pair free policy was followed and the exchange only cost me my return postage. Fair enough right! I was also surprised to find all their packaging was environmentally sensitive so this is a very professional and approachable product and company. What a breath of fresh air.
This product is comfortable, as advertised, but no more comfortable than the KMart comparable product, which is considerably less expensive. I have tried the Smoothfit full brief and the Womens Boxer. It seems to me that they are selling the men's underwear to women. The boxers have a panel which goes from the crotch to the waist, as you would… Read more
expect in men's underwear. They don't have the extra panel in the crotch as you would expect for women's underwear. The Smoothfit full brief also don't have the extra panel, but they do have a different wicking type fabric (for want of a better description) and it is in the crotch, where you would expect it. Even before wearing the boxers, I can see where they are going to come apart. There are areas where the fabric appears to have been stretched beyond their limit. I repeat that this is fresh out of the packet and before they have even been tried on. The fit also seems to confirm they are made for men. I regret spending the money on what is clearly a men's underwear marketed as women's. Very disappointed.
Hi Michelle, Thanks so much for your review. We’re… Read more

I now buy the products for the whole family! Men's and boys I have been buying for years and they last and last - best quality and most comfortable underwear EVER for the men in my life. So glad they have a women's range now so me and my daughter can have some too :-) I have the bra's, smooth fit full briefs, smooth fit bikini briefs & original… Read more
bikini briefs and we love them ALL. I wish they would do more dark colours for the women like teals, greens, blues and dark grey's.
So that's the product - the Customer Service is also OUTSTANDING! I had a lost order, didn't realize for a good few months, contacted their customer services and they were amazing, even though quite a bit of time had passed. I dealt with Bert, he responded to my emails immediately, sorted everything out, had a new lot sent out and the best thing....it was all done outside of normal office hours! I'm in WA and time poor so it was amazing to be in contact with someone on the East Coast after 7pm my time.
The true mark of a company is how they deal with situations that have gone wrong and Step ONE went above and beyond to help resolve my problem. Thanks so much guys!
Exceptional - Made for athletes – I ordered the women’s boxers. I’m a national league wheelchair basketball player and I also captain our womens team. I needed some underwear that didn’t ride up when transferring from chair to chair and playing, absorbed sweat given I’m always seated, fit nicely, and didn’t cost a fortune. Step One provided exactly that. I have a tournament this… Read more
weekend featuring the best female players around the country, and I needed them by then. The team at step one went above and beyond and got them to me quickly. Phenomenal customer service.
I wore them for the first time to training tonight. They fit well, I usually wear a medium and a medium fit me nicely, I could maybe fit in a small but the medium was comfortable on my stomach and stayed in one place. I can’t review the feel on the legs with any honesty as I’m paralysed, but it looks very well fitted, didn’t leave any marks and the material feels soft.
When transferring from day chair to basketball chair, the underwear stayed in one place and did not ride up. They stayed that way while playing too, this is impressive as I’m quite a physical player. They didn’t ride up when transferring back either.
After training they were almost bone dry and didn’t trap sweat odours either like regular underwear. I’m extremely satisfied with this product, and would strongly recommend buying a pair if you’re an athlete. World class.
Could be better – My partner loves this product and wanted me to try it out, he swears by it and said it'll be comfortable and last. So I decided to try the body shorts to help with chaffing when in a loose dress and out walking all day. So I did try the product on a super hot day 33° and I sweat alot when sitting down and it's a yuck day. So for a large woman the… Read more
body shorts felt comfortable but you can not wear these with tight clothing because you will see the outline of the body shorts - very loose clothing only (dresses). I have a back injury and could not wear the product through out the day, because of the waist band but for others they may find this to be no issue. I felt on the day that the sweat didn't show and it seemed to have a weird feel to it something like a wet/cooling feeling. I'm not familiar with bamboo so I can say that's normal. After a while of walking it started to roll up, and for anyone that's annoying and makes you want to wear it less. The body shorts for me felt more like something you can wear over underwear it's really just bamboo shorts for chaffing. But will keep trying to wear it to see if the product moulds to my body. It's a light weight product but is abit see-through. It's not designed for women who have heavy months and need extra protection its not designed for pads with wings, again it's more like light see-through bike shorts that roll up after a while. I wouldnt say this product is the worst I think if it's something for women it need more attention to details - but this product for MEN as it was originally designed for is perfect and works exactly how it should.

After trialling the new bra I can say that step one not only value quality products, but value their customers feedback. It was apparent the new design of the bra straps is a big improvement from previous, hardly ever falling off the shoulder now. The bra is so comfortable and flexible which is appreciated as a new Mum. It’s not a nursing bra however I found it practical and easy to move for feeds. Would highly recommend!
Amazing customer service – I ordered 4 pairs but only received 3. However customer services is PHENOMENAL! Contacted via the link and had not only a response but the whole issue sorted out and a new tracking number for the missing item within 20 minutes. The actual product is super comfortable and feels very high quality. Will be a return customer for sure Show details
Ladies underwear – The brand Boody have a great range of women's underwear especially full fit briefs comfortable easy to purchase online quick delivery and great service
Negative reviews
Bad Customer service – I can’t believe it has come to this point. I ordered on the 26th of December for Boxing Day sales. Wanting to try the brand out. Received my order with one item missing. I am still trying to receive the missing item. Step one says it’s been shipped but auspost says label created they haven’t even sent it. It was supposed to be sent on January… Read more
14th. They told me to wait till January 30th to receive order i have emailed them today saying I have not received it they are now telling me to wait till Feb 5th. Nothing has ever taken this long to be delivered by auspost. Stop blaming auspost. Do not buy from this brand.
Great underwear, terrible dispatch/shipping – Underwear itself is fantastic. The customer service team were helpful. What lets Step One down is their dispatch. Said my order was posted but the tracking never changed from 'label created by sender'. Contacted customer service, they then sent the items 'again'. Only received 3/5 pairs. Contacted again, had to send a photo of what I did… Read more
receive and now am waiting for the rest of my items to be delivered. Honestly, I've never had a company be this bad with shipping and getting orders correct.
Woman’s Bamboo Bras – Purchased 4 bras online- received only 3 - however the customer service was great and my missing bra is being sent to me. The bras feel nice and soft and the colours are nice. The bras were $39 each . I find the straps too loose and will need to sew them to make them sit properly and not slip off my shoulders - the cup size is fine. I am reasonably satisfied with the product but would not buy this design of bra again from Step One Show details

Wrong order received no response from Step One – Love the product I've purchased a few times, recently purchased on there BF sales buy 5 get 7 free, did just that, the product arrived with 6 pairs and not the 12 that shows on my order... I've contacted the company 3 times without any reply, response or acknowledgement, very disappointing Show details
Very disappointed, short legs rolling up – Shorts ride up (roll up) on leg uncomfortable when like that, Sizing not an issue, material is nice, just noting to keep the legs at length, so anti- chafe can't work. Disappointed..... Back to the drawing board. Also Step One consider a slimmer elastic for women's underwear, this digs in too and doesn't keep cool. Cut label off as very big so can't return.

Fantastic product & customer satisfaction – These are the most comfortable underwear & are extremely long lasting. They wash well week, after month, after year. Step One Customer Service is excellent. A small issue arose with my last order & it was remedied couteously, quickly & efficiently. I have only the highest praise for this online company, their product, service, communication & professionalism. Show details

Quick review – It's a very comfortable bra, I brought my actual size, and I would give it a 5 star but a couple of things I don't really like is, the padding is not secure in the bra it moves and some times ends up not covering what it's there for, and just the straps where they sit would be comfy on wide shoulder lady. So on that note if you want tight go a size or two down, for comfortable go your size. Show details
Excellent – Great comfortable bra to wear anytime. I wanted something for under PJs when it's not just me & my partner at home & this is perfect, I even sleep in mine. Great low scoop at the back too. Highly recommend
Average – The padding needs to be sewn in, I wore it to work and the padding moved and my nipple was showing which is not ideal at work. Comfort wise it is fantastic, but probably not supportive enough for an every day bra. I will wear it on the weekend though But probably wouldn’t buy another one Show details
Good but could be better – Smooth fabric, supporting and comfortable. The straps, however, being not adjustable, tend to slide down sometimes. If the straps could be made adjustable would give 10/10 Show details
Great, comfortable bra – This material of this bra is great, soft and comfy, and overall it is a very high quality and comfortable bra! The shipping was also very quick. Show details
The Most Comfortable Bra I Own! – Very soft and comfortable. No need to be pushing straps back up onto shoulders during the day as they stay put, without digging in. I’d love a version with the light padding stitched in place. Thank you Step One for a comfy bra ! Show details
As Ned Flanders one said… It’s like wearing nothin at all. In love – Honestly one of the most comfortable bras I have ever owned. I often forget to take off my bras whilst going to bed and usually walk up in a bit of agony, but with the Step Ones I sometimes forget I am wearing a bra. Absolutely in love with them and stoked that I have matching undies sets. Show details
Definitely worth and would recommend – Judging from the rest of step ones product range the missus and I almost exclusively wear. I've been wanting them to do bras for the longest time. So I made sure to snap one up the first chance I got. The missus loves hers. I'm told it's her comfiest bra. Definitely more of an at home bra due to the lack of support, but nonetheless I'd like to get more if they expand their bra product line. :)
