Underwear - bikini briefs with decent coverage

[RandomMess]

I can no longer purchase the perfect for me knickers and need something to replace them.

I recently tried these shorts in pic 1. They still don't have enough cheek coverage and ride up 🤬 plus they come to high up on my tummy.

Do you think the ones in picture 2 - blue pants, provide more cheek coverage or does the model just have a completely different shaped but and it's deceiving.

Any opinions or suggestions of what to buy?

I have flexfit pants from M&S which I like, they are super comfy and don't ride up (on me but I think this might be body type specific). Looking online mine are described as low rise shorts so might not be the style you are after, but there are other styles. I have the bodyfit bra to match the pants you linked to but this is not as comfy as the flexfit range.
It's so hard to find decent underwear these days though!

Picture one are "low rise shorts" apparently

When I was slimmer I wore age 14 shorts from H&M which were great.

I'm very short so I think sometimes it's the proportions are wrong for me but perhaps it's just crappy knickers designed by men.

I think the trick is to have a look in store to see the cut of the back, and the feel of the material. If you can't do that, then order around 3 different types and make sure to keep the packaging so you remember which ones you like!

it seems to me they are making both underwear and bathing suit bottoms much 'cheeker', which is the opposite of what I want!
