Oddballs sizing and styles

I hate having to buy new knickers. I cannot stand any that sit in your bum. I want good bum coverage that doesn't move. I currently wear size medium maxomorra briefs, but they appear to have all gone out of stock. And so the quest for comfy knickers begins again.

I've just bought a size small bralette and I love it. What's the sizing like on the knickers? I measured and I'm 26 waist, 37 hips, which is perfect for their size 10 sizing, but wondering if I should size up for better coverage? But nothing is worse than too big underwear....... I am a size 8/10 in clothes normally. I was planning to opt for their briefs, as I don't like boxers round the legs. Seamless full briefs in a 10? Or another suggestion all together? I like bright undies ideally. Thanks!

I’m a size 12 and have just bought their boxers in a 12 and they’re great, very comfortable. I haven’t tried the briefs yet to comment on those.

I wear their ladies boxers and love them, I’d go a 10

They come up a bit small imo, I'd go 12.

Thanks @Hedonism, was that the brief style as opposed to the boxers?

Yes the briefs. I wear size 10 in M&S briefs for reference!

Just in case anyone else looks this up in the future, I ended up buying 12 and 10 of each style and went for the 10 briefs. I laid them over my own knickers and the 10s were the same size across the hips and top. They're very comfy. I also kept a seamless 10 brief and they're not as comfy. 12s were slightly too big.
