BRIEFS
By Alice Hartwell for ONE BODY INTIMATES
Comfort, coverage and support – sometimes the humble brief doesn’t always get the props it deserves. The perfect everyday panty, we’re big fans of briefs here at One Body Intimates, and so are our customers. In this latest blog post, we take a look into what exactly makes briefs such a comfortable and beloved type of undies, plus everything to look for when shopping and some of our favourite briefs available right now in our online store.
What are briefs?
Brief undies provide fuller coverage on both the front and back of the groin area. They often have an elasticated waistband that sits at the waist, with leg openings at the top of the thighs. Adored for their comfort, briefs provide a lot of support and can be worn with a range of outfits.
What makes them so comfy?
- Supportive fit – briefs typically fit snugly for a supportive fit, while allowing for a range of movement.
- Coverage – if you feel more confident and empowered with panties that provide a little more coverage, briefs will be your best friend.
- Breathable – many briefs are made from natural materials like cotton which helps keep you feeling cool and prevents moisture build-up.
What to look for when buying briefs
- Get the right fit for your body: proper sizing is crucial for a comfortable fit with any type of underwear, and briefs are no exception. Choose a fit based on your waistband measurement. The fit should be snug but not overly tight and constricting. Not sure how to measure for undies? We’ve got a handy guide to measuring for all of our brands here.
- Choose a comfortable material: your choice of material and fabric choice shouldn’t be underestimated when shopping for new briefs. We’ve all had a few pairs of undies that itch and irritate, likely because they are made using cheap, fast-fashion fabrics. Instead, invest in intimates made from natural sustainable fabrics like organic cotton that will be as kind to your skin as they will our planet.
- Whether they suit your tastes and lifestyle: as a sustainable business we’re big on conscious shopping. Before purchasing a new pair of briefs consider whether they truly suit your tastes and will get the wear they deserve. For example, are they a colour and material that will pair well with your typical daily wardrobe? Do you already have comfortable underwear at home you could be making use of? Asking yourselves these questions prevents shopping for the sake of it and allows you to get more love out of your undies.
