I am very aware that this is a "very" old video now, but now that you're doing much more fashion content, I would LOVE that bra video that you mentioned!
You truly excel at niche and thorough reviews, Hannah. The array of options you present is always thoughtful. I especially love your ability to unveil lesser-known and beautiful brands to your viewers.
Vídeo recommendation!! Talked about this on one of your earlier vids but would love to see u talk about your favorite youtubers, not just who they are but why you watch them and the role that they play in your life as a beauty consumer, how their beauty philosophies differ from yours, the vibes that they get etc
Hannah coming in clutch with content I never knew I needed: good underwear recommendations AND sewing fun facts. But all jokes aside, I'll have to look into knickey underwear for much needed replacements and then keep Arq in the back of my mind for when I have a bigger budget!
Can I just say that I love the very indifferent way that you speak about size other than just information It is so wonderful and encouraging because you're like it's just a size you get the size you need to cover your body and then you move on are they comfortable this is the shape this is the length and I just love that
Loved this video!! I just made my first purchase from ARQ about 2 months ago. I'm plus sized (3X) and so finding an ethical and sustainable brand like them has been amazing. I first heard about them from TH-camr Alli Cherry! I own the same leopard print top from them that you're wearing here which is so exciting to see because you've basically become my style icon. I love that a brand like ARQ has made it possible for someone who's my size to wear some of the same clothes you do!
I’m 51 and after 2 kids, a hysterectomy and gaining 50+ lbs from menopause, I decided I’d try men’s boxer briefs instead. Best decision ever. Also, I bought some period panties from Knix because as noted above, things are falling apart and that means sometimes after I use the bathroom then stand up, I have a tiny bit of urine that sneaks out. Just a few drops but over the course of the day, it’s problematic. I tried pads and hate them. But the period panties are amazing and the most comfortable underwear I’ve ever worn. They are expensive but so worth it, and the added benefit of less waste from using pads for periods or minor bladder issues. I love them so much, I bought some for my girls and my mother to try too. Highly recommend if anyone is curious about trying them Next time I’m in market for undies, I’ll keep these companies in mind.
I love Knix! I am the completely opposite of Hannah as I have a very very short waist, but love everything about Knix including that they are Canadian like me!
As a 49 year old lady, whose had 3 c-sections and am suffering thru premenopausal everything😐.. I appreciate your suggestions! I hadn’t thought of buying the period panties for times when I cough or sneeze and think I may tinkle myself! If it wasn’t so frustrating and awful, it would be funny!
@@kristentrep5038 Thinx also has a line that’s for mild incontinence but after buying both they seem the same to me. 🤷🏼♀️ They also help absorb moisture so hot flashes, or sweating during workouts - they soak that up too. Lady bits are fresh! lol
As a 41 year old with a 3 year old, the toll of life has seemed to come all at once haha! And I’m so grateful for the honest sharing in this comment section. Underwear is so important yet not really talked about. I love this channel
I find it really important how indent-y a garment is, but its a problem when many brands only has models with no flesh to indent, so you cannot see how tight parts of the garment is compared to the rest of the garment. I appreciate that you talk about details like that. Love when you talk about clothing!
I have a soft and round tummy and thighs and I gotta say the Knicky high rise pantry are the best feeling undies I’ve ever owned. I love sleeping in them with an oversized shirt and wearing them under dresses. I feel so secure. I feel comforted as well as comfortable ❤️❤️❤️
This is the video I didn't know I needed, the elastic is finally going out on much of my current underthing drawer and I've been dreading shopping for new options bc I have a very similar posterior vs. current underwear trends situation. Bless
Very thorough reviews with super helpful insights from you as a seamstress! I am very impressed and happy that Knickey has an underwear/bra/tights/socks recycling program that accepts all brands and they provide a prepaid label to mail it to them!
I'm in the UK and the undies solution is always Marks and Spencer/M&S. They're fairly ethical for a mass market brand, good value and can't be beaten for comfort. Everyone buys their undies there. It looks like you can buy them online in the US now so maybe worth a shot in the future.
I love Somas vanishing edge panties! I particularly love the tummy control vanishing edge for how they look under clothes; truly seamless, gives a smooth look without feeling uncomfortable like Spanx and you forget you're wearing them. There's a grippy lightweight plastic on the inside edge that grips to your butt, that doesn't budge.
Yes! I just rediscovered Soma and love both the ones with the higher tummy control and some of the more traditional bikinis that have the sticky stuff. My butt always eats my underwear and they're the first ones I've had in forever that are comfortable and stay in place!
"Right against my mucus-membrane" XD So true. I never thought the day would come, where someone spoke that sentence and it sounding like a beautiful melody
I absolutely needed this video. I recently have realized I have extremely uncomfortable underwear was just going to give in and only buy things from here on out, but this video has given me new hope and also given me the push to look into these brands and hopefully get some comfortable underwear! Thanks Hannah, I always appreciate and value your opinion.
Omg, the salve to my soul I never knew I'd need: you reviewing full coverage undies, a product I personally don't even want! hahaha. What a JOY. First off - glad to know about these brands. Second off - just what fun to hear about the journey and like basic desires we have for our utilitarian items. I felt about this video the way I did about Sam Ravndahl's period cup videos, almost like thank god someone is talking about this, though I didn't know I NEEDED someone to talk about this. haha. I'd love a Skims vid and a bra vid. Yes much, please. haha
Granny panties squad where you at? 😎💯🔥 I swear they are the comfiest plus the high waist protects my stomach from getting those indents on my skin where the waist of the jeans sits.
Just reordered from Proclaim and TomboyX! If ever need more undies, I might try some of these recommendations. And when you said the Skims were a "boy short with loosely hemmed edges" and you started getting to the cons of the product, I immediately knew that they'd be riding up. (fellow former sewn products professional here). I have actually been avoiding all boy shorts for several years now, because of their tendency to ride up. It's a delicate balance between "enough fabric to stay in place", and "too much fabric to stay in place". We need a study on this or something 🤣
YESSS I've been waiting for this since you first mentioned you were testing options for this video!! I actually almost DM'd you yesterday to ask if it was still on the way. Thank you so so so much for this thorough review!
I found and replaced all my underwear with Knickey underwear because of you, Hannah!! The mid-rise brief is BY FAR my favorite style. I LOVE that how comfortable they are and (TMI) they never ride up or move around, never. I want at least a dozen more of them. I got so excited when I realized they have bralettes now too! I haven't had a chance to try them yet but I want to.
I would REALLY love to see you do a video about bras! I know I’m late to the game, but I value your thoughts and you seem to seek the same things as me, and I’m starting to try to curate my wardrobe more in my late thirties 😂
I am totally with you on loving that high-waist stuff is in style. As a fellow long-waisted person with wider hips, anything less than a generous mid rise just looks like bad 90's jeans on me.
I feel so seen by this video! Also having a long torso and decently sized derrière, the search for a good granny panty never ends. I’ve found the best compromise with Pact high rise hipsters. While they occasionally ride up, they mostly stay in place, are relatively seamless, and a good price for organic cotton. I consider them a better alternative to cheap fast fashion undies. Probably much lighter weight than something like Arq though. The boy shorts are definitely low rise but don’t ride up, and while the leg opening has a thick seam, I keep them for lower rise pants. And I live in Pact’s pocket leggings. Love your thoughtful and thorough content, I’ve been curious about Arq for awhile and might have to take the plunge! Also curious if you’ve considered Pansy undies, I love their bras and while I haven’t tried their undies, they look like they might fit what you’re looking for.
I can’t believe I’ve only recently come across your channel. Everything you do is EXACTLY what I’ve been missing from review/makeup channels in all the years I’ve enjoyed TH-cam - THANK YOU!! I’m obsessed with your sparkly eyes here - what do you have on them?
Someone commented that you did this and so I hunted down the video. I now want more! Something I never thought I needed to review on TH-cam but seriously I really really need this!
I love bloomers! I think they should make a come back. I have a very large rear end and I HATE thongs (yes I am inexplicably angry at the though of wearing one). I love comfortable underwear. I would like to see you review Dita Von Teese's line. She have a full brief and a high cut brief. Along the line of Jockey would be Bali. I like their brand. Then also old, old, olde (old with an e) school lines like Hanes or Fruit of the Loom. They definitely make full coverage. LOL
The Arq panties remind me so much of Thunderpants, a brand in New Zealand! My aunt always brings pairs over when she visits us and they are something else. 😍
I feel similarly passionately about finding quality, comfortable full coverage underwear. I also have a very long torso. During the Nordstrom sale I bought a pair of Chantelle high rise briefs and OMG. THEY’RE AMAZING. They are “one size” but they have xs-xl and plus size “one size” options. I was deeply dubious about them because of the one size claim, but they fit beautifully and are so comfortable and work really well for my long torso-ed, bottom heavy body. For context, I am a medium/8/29 in almost all pants. After loving the pair from the sale I bought a five pack :)
This is the video I didn’t know I needed! Also fits with makeup and beautiful things niche quite nicely. You’re so skilled at talking about clothes and obviously very knowledgeable in your experience. People don’t talk about this stuff enough and I’m constantly dealing with the underwear conundrum. Do I scrimp, and if so, on what? Or do I splurge and again, what pieces would perform and be worth it?
Yesss, I am sort of on the same hunt right now and it sounds like we have a lot of the same preferences. I have found that I really like the Full Coverage Re:Play Boyshort from Parade, if you're looking for additional affordable and sustainable options, it's only $9 and it's so cute and comfy. They aren't cotton but the liner is, but the material really feels so dreamy. It's all I ever want to wear anymore.
I will try Parade if I do a round 2. I have almost done it a few times, they just don't look full-coverage enough! But I'm still curious! You can't really tell everything from the pictures.
LOVE ARQ. I actually prefer the crop tank skin-tight, allll winter long I wear it under my chunky sweaters, it's just enough coverage and (kind of) support to not feel nakey under a woolen, but WOW who needs bras for that type of outfit. So comfy.
Discovered ARQ last year and haven’t looked back. I wear the full coverage bras and underwear everyday especially now that I work from home. I also use the tanks and underwear to sleep in. I can vouch for quality because I wear them nonstop ❤️👌
Thank you sooooo much for this video! I have been super interested in ARQ, and my favorite boutique in my neighborhood even sells them… but I wasn’t sure what size I need. This was super helpful. I really appreciate it!
I'm here for all the underwear content! As someone slightly bigger in size and without the torso elongation the Knickey mid-rise styles are my favorite (and the thong) after you recommend them last year. I like their styles more than the parade pairs I've tried. Girlfriend Collective makes great sustainable underwear, but I'm not sure if their high rise brief would be high enough for you.
I've heard good things about MadeTrade, specifically their Orly Bamboo ones and the Blue Bloem. I wonder if you'd like or hate the huha high rise briefs, they seem similar to the skims with the potential bunching but not exactly the same. Have you tried organicbasics before? They have some listed as 'superhighrise'. Pact's highrise hipsters seem similar to Arq but they wouldn't be as tall- maybe an alternative option for the pants that aren't as high wasted. I'd be curious about looking into the ethics of companies/sustainability in both the materials/processes but also with the longevity of the garments. I'm not too handy with sewing- would there be any option to alter the pairs to fit better? Or is it not worth the trouble?
I am soooo picky about undies for sleeping. Knickey is my favorite-I have thirteen pairs of the high rise! I also love Arq and can’t wait to buy more colors.
Yes please for a follow up video regarding bra / sports bra/ braletts whichever is your fave. I have been testing out different brands as well for a while, in search for the perfect coverage. It would be nice to hear your take on them + favorites.
Very excited to watch this video, thank you! I have been on this same search for a while. Hanes used to be my go to, but the past 3 styles I've got from them have inconsistent measurements and don't last long.
Thank you for this! I'm plus sized and I have a long torso as well so I'm always going for high rise cotton styles that are full coverage. I will definitely have to check out ARQ and Jockey! I love how size inclusive the brands you included are. 💚
My fave underwear right now is the Natori Bliss Full Brief. The color options aren't very exciting, but they are full coverage, high rise, and made of pima cotton.
Yes! I’ve been on an underwear quest for the past year. I really like the high waisted underwear from cuup, even though it is on the pricier side! The thing I like about Knickey is that they recycle old underwear and bras!
I love your fashion videos and wish you would do more videos - such as styling advice or OOTD in-general. And that is MY OPINION. Especially since you have so much clothing and textile experience. But, style tips or capsule wardrobes. I dunno, just an idea. Also, I need new underwear... and some new clothes... ugh. Good quality clothes are so expensive (completely worth it but still...).
I bought myself a set of the arq undies and bralette and I'm in love with them both. I want more, but I make minimum wage and I can't really afford to spend more than four hours of pay on one pair of underwear 😭
OMG That Knickey brand recycles your old underwear for you! I always feel so guilty throwing them in the garbage. My area has textile recycling but only for "usable" things. This is sooooo useful. I recently lost weight and am in the position of needing to replace all my underwear.
I am going to have to try the Knicky. They seem decently priced. I usually buy the Fruit of the Loom breathable, but the are riding up the inner thigh. Plus I am losing weight and want nice underwear. I am glad you did this video. ARC is too much though. I do like how they look. I am going to have to wait a bit because I am trying to get a few things caught up.
My favorite pair is warcoal for there full cheek coverage. They have a long torso underwear that may work for you but unfortunately they are a large brand name. Thank you for making this video.
My underwear needs are similar to yours and I really love the underwear uniqlo makes (idk if you have it in the US). They are not expensive, come in a lot of patterns and colours and are really really full coverage. The next time I am going to look for a more sustainable alternative, because they are fast fashion, but for me they have held up nicely.
I have the total opposite problem, I am extremely short waisted, I have maybe an inch between the top of my hip bone and the bottom of my ribs. Even though I am also a solid size medium, all of these underwear would come up to my nipples. Medium rise looks high rise on me, and low rise looks medium. I'm still going to watch, though.
I wonder if they would be the same on me. I'm only 5 feet.... but 165 lbs.... so low rise anything is NO GO. But high rise is too high since like you I have short waist and practically no torso
ARQ is having their yearly sale right now! I just bought ten pairs for $168 total! I have been watching and waiting for a sale and I am so excited to try them out!
Hannah! I've been watching your dupe the vibes Playlist! Please update this and make a Playlist for when you build palettes. I could seriously watch / put this content in as background noise for hours!
I have the Jockey panties in the high cut brief, and they fit so much better than their regular cut brief, plus the high cut does not ride up. The modal fabric is cool, comfortable and has many color options.
For all the Canadian ladies who want Arq undies, you can buy them in Canada at a shop called BEATEN it's online and saves on customs and duties. Thats where i bought mine and i was able to get all the styles that have been out of stock on ARQ for weeks now. They are authentic ARQ garments, i believe they work with them to make them more available to us Canadians. Plus BEATEN have a pick up option. Cheers
I bought Knickey for myself and my daughter based on your previous review, and they have been very comfortable, both of us are happy with them. I am keen to try out the ARQ, it's difficult because we would only be able to order online and we don't live in the states, so i know i won't be returning them if they aren't any good. But I will try them out eventually, good to have the sizing information, thank you!
I am in love with the Ruched Ruffle Shorties from Free People. They come in a lot of cute colors. I wear them as underwear. The only problem is they don’t always look smooth, so they are better under oversized clothes (of which Free People has a lot of cute ones, too)
I was hoping for a video like this from you, because I remember being very interested in Knicky when you mentioned them. Thank you for all this helpful info!
I am a fan of boyshorts underwear but I am still searching for a brand that is comfortable. The brands that I have bought lately always ride up in the rear and I feel strangled. Puma, Calvin Klein & Tommy Hilfiger used to be comfortable but now are sized for a toddler with no coverage in the back.
I find longer length boy shorts (bike shorts) to be really comfortable. I had to switch from regular briefs because my skin got very sensitized where the elastic touched my stomach & at the left leg opening. It became almost an open wound that wouldn't heal & required steroidal intervention. The boy shorts come up higher & don't cut anywhere. They also cut down on inner thigh chafe under a dress.
WOW WOW WOW someone else who loves and hates the exact same things in underwear as me and has also thought about it at least as much as I have?? AMAZING. I know this is an older video, but in case you're still looking for more things to try: my current very, very favorite are Oddobody high-waisted (the description is "mid rise" but I'm also pretty long waisted and they come up exactly to my belly button). You can definitely size down if you don't want them baggy/loose, but the fabric is so incredibly lightweight that they don't really make lumps. A good less expensive option is Andie (the swimsuit brand) -- I actually currently have 3 (!) different high waisted, full-coverage options from them that just arrived and I can't wait to try.
Love this review! I'm in the same boat: long torso, bigger hips/butt, and so much "full coverage" underwear is just...not. I recently bought a few pairs of Arq underwear and I *love* them, but I also have to wear some lower-profile underwear under tighter-fitting pants.
I know I'm late to the party, but I just had this come up in recommendations. My favorite underwear and bralettes at the moment is MeUndies. They're modal, so maybe don't check your fabric preference, but they definitely have full coverage, high-waisted undies that have served me really well. I'm a big fan of the fun prints, and I've found that they last fairly well (although I baby them a little, cold wash, hang dry, wash in a bag).
I’ve tried tomboyx undies, and their period line is full coverage, thick, comfortable, and at least for moderate to light flow is fantastic! It is life changing not to be dramatic. Edit: it’s medium coverage? Seeing the first underwear review I’d say medium coverage?
Soma Vanishing 360 (not Vanishing Edge which make me itch from the silicone) are my favorite. They don’t even show in my Lulus. No riding up. High waisted. I get the Retro Thong and the Modern Brief in medium. :)
The video I never realized I needed!!! The older I get, the more the comfort factor reigns supreme. 😂😂 thanks for the recommendations. Ordering the jockeys first.
Very helpful, thankyou!!! I HATE underwear that rides up or stretches out by the end of the day and have been gradually moving to full coverage. Thank you, thank you, thank you SO much for the size references! This is SO incredibly helpful. I'm slightly smaller in inches but also have a longer torso and a longer inseam, so I find I have many of the same issues you talk about with bottom fits! (Depending on the company I'm anywhere from a 2 to a 6, floating between small and medium)
This is exactly what ive been looking for. You discuss all the same issues I've had and qualities I want in my underwear. I'm going to checkout Arq. Thank you so much!!
I am very aware that this is a "very" old video now, but now that you're doing much more fashion content, I would LOVE that bra video that you mentioned!
I’m so impressed that you got through this whole video without once uttering the term “wedgie.”

honestly ive used the marks and spencer cotton high rise full briefs for a while and theyre quite nice for everyday wear! also very seamless.
I love bloomers! I think they should make a come back. I have a very large rear end and I HATE thongs (yes I am inexplicably angry at the though of wearing one). I love comfortable underwear. I would like to see you review Dita Von Teese's line. She have a full brief and a high cut brief. Along the line of Jockey would be Bali. I like their brand. Then also old, old, olde (old with an e) school lines like Hanes or Fruit of the Loom. They definitely make full coverage. LOL
Yes for Dita, yes please!!!!
The Arq panties remind me so much of Thunderpants, a brand in New Zealand! My aunt always brings pairs over when she visits us and they are something else. 😍
I feel similarly passionately about finding quality, comfortable full coverage underwear. I also have a very long torso. During the Nordstrom sale I bought a pair of Chantelle high rise briefs and OMG. THEY’RE AMAZING. They are “one size” but they have xs-xl and plus size “one size” options. I was deeply dubious about them because of the one size claim, but they fit beautifully and are so comfortable and work really well for my long torso-ed, bottom heavy body. For context, I am a medium/8/29 in almost all pants. After loving the pair from the sale I bought a five pack :)
This is the video I didn’t know I needed! Also fits with makeup and beautiful things niche quite nicely. You’re so skilled at talking about clothes and obviously very knowledgeable in your experience. People don’t talk about this stuff enough and I’m constantly dealing with the underwear conundrum. Do I scrimp, and if so, on what? Or do I splurge and again, what pieces would perform and be worth it?
Yesss, I am sort of on the same hunt right now and it sounds like we have a lot of the same preferences. I have found that I really like the Full Coverage Re:Play Boyshort from Parade, if you're looking for additional affordable and sustainable options, it's only $9 and it's so cute and comfy. They aren't cotton but the liner is, but the material really feels so dreamy. It's all I ever want to wear anymore.
I will try Parade if I do a round 2. I have almost done it a few times, they just don't look full-coverage enough! But I'm still curious! You can't really tell everything from the pictures.
the makeup in this video is goalssssss i love it so much 🥹
LOVE ARQ. I actually prefer the crop tank skin-tight, allll winter long I wear it under my chunky sweaters, it's just enough coverage and (kind of) support to not feel nakey under a woolen, but WOW who needs bras for that type of outfit. So comfy.
Oooh I am totally stealing this hack, it’s such a good idea!
Discovered ARQ last year and haven’t looked back. I wear the full coverage bras and underwear everyday especially now that I work from home. I also use the tanks and underwear to sleep in. I can vouch for quality because I wear them nonstop ❤️👌
That ARQ matching set is 😍 and their little baby jumpers are so precious
Thank you sooooo much for this video! I have been super interested in ARQ, and my favorite boutique in my neighborhood even sells them… but I wasn’t sure what size I need. This was super helpful. I really appreciate it!
I'm here for all the underwear content! As someone slightly bigger in size and without the torso elongation the Knickey mid-rise styles are my favorite (and the thong) after you recommend them last year. I like their styles more than the parade pairs I've tried. Girlfriend Collective makes great sustainable underwear, but I'm not sure if their high rise brief would be high enough for you.
I've heard good things about MadeTrade, specifically their Orly Bamboo ones and the Blue Bloem. I wonder if you'd like or hate the huha high rise briefs, they seem similar to the skims with the potential bunching but not exactly the same. Have you tried organicbasics before? They have some listed as 'superhighrise'. Pact's highrise hipsters seem similar to Arq but they wouldn't be as tall- maybe an alternative option for the pants that aren't as high wasted. I'd be curious about looking into the ethics of companies/sustainability in both the materials/processes but also with the longevity of the garments. I'm not too handy with sewing- would there be any option to alter the pairs to fit better? Or is it not worth the trouble?
I am soooo picky about undies for sleeping. Knickey is my favorite-I have thirteen pairs of the high rise! I also love Arq and can’t wait to buy more colors.
Wacoal full coverage briefs. I have worn them for 12 years. They never ride up. They hold their shape and they come in many colors. I love them.
Yes please for a follow up video regarding bra / sports bra/ braletts whichever is your fave. I have been testing out different brands as well for a while, in search for the perfect coverage. It would be nice to hear your take on them + favorites.
Very excited to watch this video, thank you! I have been on this same search for a while. Hanes used to be my go to, but the past 3 styles I've got from them have inconsistent measurements and don't last long.
Thank you for this! I'm plus sized and I have a long torso as well so I'm always going for high rise cotton styles that are full coverage. I will definitely have to check out ARQ and Jockey! I love how size inclusive the brands you included are. 💚
My fave underwear right now is the Natori Bliss Full Brief. The color options aren't very exciting, but they are full coverage, high rise, and made of pima cotton.
The video no one know they needed but now can’t imagine living without
Thank you so much! I'm off to check out Jockey and Arq! They seem perfect for my needs.
Yes! I’ve been on an underwear quest for the past year. I really like the high waisted underwear from cuup, even though it is on the pricier side! The thing I like about Knickey is that they recycle old underwear and bras!
I love your fashion videos and wish you would do more videos - such as styling advice or OOTD in-general. And that is MY OPINION. Especially since you have so much clothing and textile experience. But, style tips or capsule wardrobes. I dunno, just an idea.
Also, I need new underwear... and some new clothes... ugh. Good quality clothes are so expensive (completely worth it but still...).
I bought myself a set of the arq undies and bralette and I'm in love with them both. I want more, but I make minimum wage and I can't really afford to spend more than four hours of pay on one pair of underwear 😭
Maybe someday
OMG That Knickey brand recycles your old underwear for you! I always feel so guilty throwing them in the garbage. My area has textile recycling but only for "usable" things. This is sooooo useful. I recently lost weight and am in the position of needing to replace all my underwear.
Sad to see that ARQ is not operating for heartfelt reasons.
I am going to have to try the Knicky. They seem decently priced. I usually buy the Fruit of the Loom breathable, but the are riding up the inner thigh. Plus I am losing weight and want nice underwear. I am glad you did this video. ARC is too much though. I do like how they look. I am going to have to wait a bit because I am trying to get a few things caught up.
Yesssss, the content we need but don't deserve
Who thumbs down a video this specific lol love the unique content , you’re always so concise
My fav underwear brand is TOMBOYX - they mostly cater to LGBTQ+ audiences, but they're really high quality.
Omg just reordered from them 🤩
They are on my list to try. :D
That brand looks awesome! So hard to find non-binary underwear. Thanks for sharing. :)
Woot! I need new undies and have been waiting for this! Time to try some knickys!
You should do an update on this video. Thoughts after a year and new brands you have tried. 😊
My favorite pair is warcoal for there full cheek coverage. They have a long torso underwear that may work for you but unfortunately they are a large brand name. Thank you for making this video.
My underwear needs are similar to yours and I really love the underwear uniqlo makes (idk if you have it in the US). They are not expensive, come in a lot of patterns and colours and are really really full coverage. The next time I am going to look for a more sustainable alternative, because they are fast fashion, but for me they have held up nicely.
I’m obsessed with ARQ. I never sat around the house in my underwear until I got these. I do agree that they don’t work under every outfit.
I have the total opposite problem, I am extremely short waisted, I have maybe an inch between the top of my hip bone and the bottom of my ribs. Even though I am also a solid size medium, all of these underwear would come up to my nipples. Medium rise looks high rise on me, and low rise looks medium. I'm still going to watch, though.
How tall are you?
I wonder if they would be the same on me. I'm only 5 feet.... but 165 lbs.... so low rise anything is NO GO. But high rise is too high since like you I have short waist and practically no torso
Lolol same here. Hi. I will continue watching as well 👻
I never thought of measuring this! I have at least 5 inches between my hip and ribs and & I am just under 5'2". I'm all dang torso.
Jockey has a low rise bikini that is super comfy..i get mine at Target and highly recommend
What a review!!! Wow. I love modal and the skim boyshort type. After your review, I have to try ARQ. Thank you.🙏
ARQ is having their yearly sale right now! I just bought ten pairs for $168 total! I have been watching and waiting for a sale and I am so excited to try them out!
Hannah! I've been watching your dupe the vibes Playlist! Please update this and make a Playlist for when you build palettes. I could seriously watch / put this content in as background noise for hours!
I have the Jockey panties in the high cut brief, and they fit so much better than their regular cut brief, plus the high cut does not ride up. The modal fabric is cool, comfortable and has many color options.
You should try Thunderpants! They have the tighter leg of the Jockey, but are sturdy like Arq. They do not ride up at all.
just took a peep and they look AMAZING!! Also love the vibe!
Omg I am dying at the CUTE 😍😭💞
For all the Canadian ladies who want Arq undies, you can buy them in Canada at a shop called BEATEN it's online and saves on customs and duties. Thats where i bought mine and i was able to get all the styles that have been out of stock on ARQ for weeks now. They are authentic ARQ garments, i believe they work with them to make them more available to us Canadians. Plus BEATEN have a pick up option. Cheers
OMG you are so funny. I'm feeling awful this morning but you are managing to make me laugh. Love you Hannah.
I bought Knickey for myself and my daughter based on your previous review, and they have been very comfortable, both of us are happy with them. I am keen to try out the ARQ, it's difficult because we would only be able to order online and we don't live in the states, so i know i won't be returning them if they aren't any good. But I will try them out eventually, good to have the sizing information, thank you!
LOL Mucous Membranes! You are the best! Just found your channel and love your unique take on fashion/ wardrobes!
I am in love with the Ruched Ruffle Shorties from Free People. They come in a lot of cute colors. I wear them as underwear. The only problem is they don’t always look smooth, so they are better under oversized clothes (of which Free People has a lot of cute ones, too)
Have you ever looked at Soma's underwear? They have a good selection of high and mid-rise briefs. I have many pairs by them 😉
I was hoping for a video like this from you, because I remember being very interested in Knicky when you mentioned them. Thank you for all this helpful info!
Hi Hannah
I am a fan of boyshorts underwear but I am still searching for a brand that is comfortable. The brands that I have bought lately always ride up in the rear and I feel strangled. Puma, Calvin Klein & Tommy Hilfiger used to be comfortable but now are sized for a toddler with no coverage in the back.
I find longer length boy shorts (bike shorts) to be really comfortable. I had to switch from regular briefs because my skin got very sensitized where the elastic touched my stomach & at the left leg opening. It became almost an open wound that wouldn't heal & required steroidal intervention. The boy shorts come up higher & don't cut anywhere. They also cut down on inner thigh chafe under a dress.
We need a new version of this, haha! (I know you're super busy so no pressure, but if you feel so inspired it'd be appreciated!)
WOW WOW WOW someone else who loves and hates the exact same things in underwear as me and has also thought about it at least as much as I have?? AMAZING.
I know this is an older video, but in case you're still looking for more things to try: my current very, very favorite are Oddobody high-waisted (the description is "mid rise" but I'm also pretty long waisted and they come up exactly to my belly button). You can definitely size down if you don't want them baggy/loose, but the fabric is so incredibly lightweight that they don't really make lumps.
A good less expensive option is Andie (the swimsuit brand) -- I actually currently have 3 (!) different high waisted, full-coverage options from them that just arrived and I can't wait to try.
Me, anxiously waiting for a full review from you on Skims! 🤗
Love this review! I'm in the same boat: long torso, bigger hips/butt, and so much "full coverage" underwear is just...not. I recently bought a few pairs of Arq underwear and I *love* them, but I also have to wear some lower-profile underwear under tighter-fitting pants.
I know I'm late to the party, but I just had this come up in recommendations. My favorite underwear and bralettes at the moment is MeUndies. They're modal, so maybe don't check your fabric preference, but they definitely have full coverage, high-waisted undies that have served me really well. I'm a big fan of the fun prints, and I've found that they last fairly well (although I baby them a little, cold wash, hang dry, wash in a bag).
I love Soma. Might be worth a try? Also, Bravissimo.. have you ever considered sewing your own or ordering a custom pair on Etsy?
I’ve tried tomboyx undies, and their period line is full coverage, thick, comfortable, and at least for moderate to light flow is fantastic! It is life changing not to be dramatic.
Edit: it’s medium coverage? Seeing the first underwear review I’d say medium coverage?
Soma Vanishing 360 (not Vanishing Edge which make me itch from the silicone) are my favorite. They don’t even show in my Lulus. No riding up. High waisted. I get the Retro Thong and the Modern Brief in medium. :)
The video I never realized I needed!!! The older I get, the more the comfort factor reigns supreme. 😂😂 thanks for the recommendations. Ordering the jockeys first.
Very helpful, thankyou!!! I HATE underwear that rides up or stretches out by the end of the day and have been gradually moving to full coverage. Thank you, thank you, thank you SO much for the size references! This is SO incredibly helpful. I'm slightly smaller in inches but also have a longer torso and a longer inseam, so I find I have many of the same issues you talk about with bottom fits! (Depending on the company I'm anywhere from a 2 to a 6, floating between small and medium)
You are such a warm light at the end of my day. Love always 🖤
This is exactly what ive been looking for. You discuss all the same issues I've had and qualities I want in my underwear. I'm going to checkout Arq. Thank you so much!!
