High-Waisted Bamboo Briefs – Guide
Short answer: High-waisted bamboo briefs sit above the navel, gently support the tummy and do not ride down when you move. The combination of the high waist and the soft, breathable bamboo fabric makes them an obvious choice for everyday wear, under dresses and for anyone who wants more coverage.
What is a high-waisted brief?
A high-waisted brief ends above the navel instead of sitting low on the hip. That gives a smooth line under your clothes, and the elastic does not cut into your stomach the way a low-rise brief can. Many people also find that the high model stays in place better all day. Take a look at the range of bamboo briefs, where several styles have a high waist.
Why bamboo works so well for high-waisted briefs
Bamboo viscose is soft, stretchy and moves moisture away from the skin. Precisely because a high-waisted brief covers a large part of your stomach, it matters a great deal that the fabric can breathe. You can read more about how the material works in our guide to bamboo and temperature regulation.
When should you choose the high style?
High-waisted briefs are great under dresses, skirts and high-waisted trousers, where they follow the lines of your clothes. They are also popular after pregnancy and on days when you simply want something comfortable.

Size and fit
A high-waisted brief should sit close without squeezing. Choose your normal size, and only go up if you are between two sizes. Our guide to finding the right size in bamboo clothing will point you in the right direction.
Frequently asked questions
Do high-waisted briefs ride down?
No, that is exactly one of the advantages. The high waist and the stretchy bamboo fabric keep the brief where it belongs.
Can high-waisted bamboo briefs be worn every day?
Yes. They are made for everyday wear and handle a normal wash at 30-40 degrees, so they can easily be your go-to everyday brief.
Are high-waisted briefs visible under clothes?
Most styles have flat edges and a smooth fabric, so they show less under clothes than many ordinary briefs.
