High-waist briefs

Different types of high-waist briefs

High-waist briefs haven't stopped evolving since appearing in the 1940s. The variety of cuts has increased over the years anda now there are countless options. What sets the models apart isn't just the fabric used to make them but also the height of the cut. High-waist briefs tend to cover the navel or come slightly below. All the models share good coverage on the bottom compared to hipster models.

Who are high-waist briefs for?

Ladies with a little bit of a tummy: High-waist briefs are perfect for you. They cover the lower abdomen so they resculpt the stomach and streamline the figure. Unlike shapewear, the sculpting effect is subtle as it doesn't suck the figure in; it provides coverage not a corset. High-waist briefs are therefore far more comfortable than shapewear.

High-waist briefs aren't just for one body shape. But since they highlight the hips with their wide fabric band or lace sides, we don't recommend them for ladies with larger hips. Essentially, the wide fabric band draws attention to the hips.
On the other hand, if you have slimmer hips and you'd like to show them off then high-waist briefs could do the trick. High-waist models that cover the navel give the impression of more volume if you have a slim waist.
