Hipster or tai, what is the difference

Short answer: The hipster has straight sides and covers more over the hip, while the tai model has narrower sides and a higher leg opening. The choice is about how much you want covered.

The hipster

Straight sides and a lower leg opening. It covers more and lies flat over the hip. See bamboo hipster knickers.

The tai model

Narrower at the side and with a higher leg opening. It takes up less room under clothes. See bamboo tai knickers.

Under tight clothes

The hipster gives a long, even edge, while the tai model gives a shorter one. Which shows least depends on the body and on the clothes.

Comfort

The hipster covers more and chafes less on the thighs. The tai model is cooler in the heat.

See the range

Both models are in bamboo knickers.

Size

Choose by hip measurement and not by trouser size. See the size guide.

Washing

40 degrees without fabric softener and without a tumble dryer. See the washing guide.

How many pairs you should have

Ten to fourteen pairs mean you can wash once a week. Once you have found the model that fits, it is cheapest to buy several identical ones at once. See bamboo underwear for women.
