Classic high-waisted knickers
Short answer: The classic high-waisted knicker covers most, rolls least and chafes least on the thighs. It is the model most people return to after trying others.
Covers most
A high rise and full coverage at the back mean fewer edges and less movement through the day.
Does not roll
Because the waist ends somewhere without much movement, it stays in place. See high-waisted bamboo knickers.
Under tight clothes
An even, high edge often shows less than a low one lying in the middle of an area under pressure. See knickers under tight dresses.
For everyday
For many it is the model worn the most days of the week. See bamboo knickers.
For pregnancy
A high rise without a tight edge is also what many people wear during pregnancy.
Size
Choose by hip measurement. See the size guide.
Washing
40 degrees without fabric softener and without a tumble dryer. See the washing guide.
