A Guide to Women’s Briefs

There Arm Shaper is absolutely nothing more uncomfortable and unflattering than when your briefs do not fit right. A VPL (visible panty line) should never be seen as it will cut into your bottom and make you look like you are wearing a size too small and are heavier than you are. What type of brief you should wear will also depend on what type of clothing you are wearing and remember never to buy too small as doing so will add pounds! Here is my guide:

Shapewear Tank Tops Thongs

Although wholesale Christmas costumes thongs seem to have lost some of their popularity in the past few years, a seamless thong which does not cut into the cheek anywhere will prevent VPL. While they are not generally the most comfortable brief, try wearing a classic thong under trousers and a low-rise thong if you are wearing very low hipsters or jeans. Avoid thongs if you need support around your tummy area as they will not provide any.

Boy shorts/hipsters

Boy shorts and hipsters are excellent at preventing VPL as the seam line in not across your bottom. They have become gained popularity in the past few years and are now one of the most popular brief on the market. A classic pair of boy shorts works well under denim, for slouching casually around at home and a pair of invisible boy-cut knickers won’t show through even the tightest of skirts or trousers. There are plenty of seamless fabrics now available in this style so I strongly recommend looking out for them when wearing a tight skirt, dress or trouser.

Classic briefs

Briefs are the classic staple in any underwear collection. They will create VPL under light Summer fabrics however they work well under Winter fabrics which are heavier like wool, denim or tweed. Classic briefs offer comfort and a huge amount of coverage on the bottom, so if you sit at your desk all day, they are ideal.

Bikinis

A bikini cut brief will obviously give you more coverage on your bottom than a thong but usually has very little material across the hip area. A classic bikini with a high-cut leg and a high-cut waist is perfect for wearing under heavy skirts and trousers. A low-rise bikini works under loose low-rise skirts and trousers because it rides very low at the front while still giving good coverage at the back.

Control briefs

Control briefs have gained massive popularity in the last few years as more women turn to them to fit into that little black dress or to look slim in your favourite denim jeans. They work by holding in the tummy and waist area using heavy elastane fabric. There are many varieties on the market and the best to ensure that you don’t distribute your love handles to another part of your body is to select a style that are similar to lycra shorts you would wear to the gym with a high waist that finishes just under your bust. This will smooth out your tummy and waistline while slimming your bottom and thighs. These are great for women who don’t have a defined waist as they will create the illusion that you have one.
