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?

M&S flexifit high rise or midrise shorts. They’re not really shorts, but are low legged and therefore cheek covering.

They not gonna look nice…

M and s full knickeroonies.

@comvit The knickers are true to size I'd say (which made the sizing of the boxers a bit disappointing).

formigas · 29/07/2026 09:27

I like Step One bamboo boxers but they are a bit too thick for warm weather (and they are quite expensive). In summer I usually wear M&S big pants but they come up almost to the navel.

Ignore, link has now gone

Uniqlo ‘Briefs (high rise)’ work for me. They last for ages too.

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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I’d never heard of ‘undercrackers’ before, and I’m ancient! The other day I did read about ‘woolly underfugs’ though - as in men’s winter underwear,

And ditto to your arse/ass comment - unless you do actually mean ‘donkey’, IMO ‘ass’ should be illegal in the U.K.

I don't care if they look nice. They're knickers 🙄

I'm not planning on taking a trip to Tesco in them with kecks over the top of them.

Sorry @Comvit I think the floating gusset (never knew that was a thing!) is a no on these! X

Should say "without kecks over the top" 😂

I know - I found one fairly niche UK company/website that does floating gussets but all the rest are Australian or US based. DAMMIT.
