Arse-covering women's undercrackers?

39 replies

Comvit · 29/07/2026 08:40

I need new knickers.

I'm after full briefs that provide full arse cheek coverage. Most that I've seen seem to cut the arse cheeks in half. I want the seam (the edge of the knickers) to sit just below my arse cheek.

I'm after mid-rise if possible but not with a high-cut leg.

I've looked all over but all briefs seem to do this weird half-arse cheek thing.
I like Wirapa (I have tonnes of their boxers) but their briefs also seem cheek-cutting.

Does anyone have any recommendations for where I can get full briefs that actually cover your whole bum cheek?

I’m wondering if you’re not getting the right size.
I have them from M&S, Sains and Tesco - arse cheeky fully covered!

The ultimate comfort ones from Sainsbury’s are really comfy. The ones with a lace top. Adopted big pants while pregnant and never went back!

BringBackCatsEyes · 29/07/2026 08:44

Oh wait….no. Mine are not mid rise but full. Sorry.

My gym gear is just-above-mid-rise-level and I'd rather not have lacy bits on show. Plain waistbands are fine, just not lace.

But thanks for the tip about Sainsbury's

Full rise is OK. I'm not too fussed.

Stripe and Stare do fabulously huge pants, which are very comfortable but also in brilliant patterns and colours too.

SusanSharon · 29/07/2026 08:47

I have the Wirarpa ones and, although really comfortable, don’t cover the full cheek. I used to buy the M&S Flexifit high waist shorts but the quality has dipped recently. I sadly haven’t found a decent alternative yet.

SirChenjins · 29/07/2026 08:47

Sainsbury's full briefs, 💯- full bum coverage and for best results, always size up in your knickers. Best advice I ever got.

I love these, bit pricey but do a decent sale and so much nicer than anything else I tried, I am gradually swapping the knicker drawer over to these entirely 🤣

redhatpurplehair · 29/07/2026 08:50

Asda for me. Large arse fully covered!

AgnesX · 29/07/2026 08:51

Innersey on Amazon do them, both high and mid rise.

Nice quality too although their ladies boxers are cut small.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 29/07/2026 08:52

Asda do multi packs of cotton full briefs. Plain waist band.
I wear their high legs from the same range which also have full coverage of the cheeks & do not ride up. Wash well & very comfortable.

HoppityBun · 29/07/2026 08:52

I recommend British Boxers who currently have an invaluable sale on. They do different styles but their women’s boxer shorts are excellent.

Also 🙌 for the arse rather than the so frequently used and awful ass and 🙌 for undercrackers, which I’ve not heard for years ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Gosh, those Amazon ones look like you've got some sort of continence problem

Comvit · 29/07/2026 08:57

I wear Wirapa ladies boxers - switching to them was a revelation!

Are you the person who keeps posting about getting wedgies and how to get your man to pick it in public?

dementedpixie · 29/07/2026 09:00

Asda sells mid rise pants. They're my favourite as they give good coverage without coming up to your armpits!

Do Innersey come up large, small or just right would you say?

Thanks so much for the recommendation!

If you have concerns about this thread then report it - posters did with the one you're referring to and it was deleted.

I don't suppose the Stripe and Stare boxers have floating gussets do they? To attach winged sanitary towels?

^ These are my holy grail of undercrackers but not widely available in the UK

Agreed. Also Boody. Both expensive but exceptionally comfortable. Look out for sales.

Comvit · 29/07/2026 09:14

I'm not a wedgie troll.

I'm just an ordinary woman seeking advice from other ordinary women about supermarket undercrackers.
