Can you awesome sauce folks do a round up of sexy looking panties that hit just under the belly button, and also cover your WHOLE ass? Victoria secret keeps flashing in my facebook feed, and as much as I appreciate a hungry-looking butt feasting on thongs, that look is not for me. But I also want to look good in and like my underwear at the same time.
Fruit of the Loom’s cheap enormous cotton panties (*though I love me some natural fibres) are not cutting it. Help? Please? Be my magical undie-god-mothers? -Viviane
How I use my panties for a quick confidence boost
It began to get to the point where every single time I was anywhere near Victoria's Secret, I had to buy the 5 pairs for... Read more
I love me some full-bottom panties. My go-to for full-coverage without the visible panty line are these babies. But they’re not high-waisted. I personally don’t have much experience with high-waisted-undies, but I’m gonna do my best to find some of the internets best and sexiest for ya — based on awesome Amazon reviews (because who doesn’t love getting the perfect sexy underpants in the mail?).
Stay tuned for the last review, by the way, it’s worth the read, even if you aren’t shopping for undies…
“I hope this panty stays in Rago’s line because it is so comfortable. There is enough stretch in it to help me hold my tummy in; yet it does not have a girdle feeling. But mostly I like that genius little lace insert at the leg because it keeps the leg opening from ever feeling constrictive. It’s a pretty feature, but serves a great comfort purpose. I have about 15 pair of these panties, and I have been staying with this style for years.”
“I completely adore these panties. They look exactly as shown. They feel so soft and comfortable. I love the design of them and the cute bow/charm in the middle. It really makes my curves show off even more, and my boyfriend adores them also. I can even sleep with these on, that’s how comfortable they are.”
“These panties are beautiful. They are soft and sexy, and my wife thinks they look sexy on me. I highly recommend these panties to anyone and everyone.”
“These Bali One Smooth U satin briefs are perfect they are super ultra soft and so comfortable on — I love Bali for having this style of briefs. The leg band stays very snug and the waistband stays up around the waist without rolling down. The material is so so so soft and ultra comfortable these briefs are the best I’ve ever worn and I love them.”
Okay, ready for the best review of high-waisted panties ever? This is underwear review gold:
So I said, “Look. The bra is not up for debate. I have spent more hours in more changing rooms trying on more bras… I finally find one (Warners “This is Not a Bra” if you’re interested) that makes my rack look like THIS…?”
I indicate said rack. He nods with appreciation.
“Right. So I’m not switching. But maybe something can be done about the granny panties. Maybe. But they have to be comfortable. And not give me a wedgie and not slide off and not make me look like a cracked-open tube of Pop n’ Fresh Dough…”
“Well how about something like this?”
I look over his shoulder at the eensy-weensy model wearing a scrap of lace and a sprinkling of fairy dust.
“Oh, my love,” I said. “Those are beautiful. But that girl is 19 years old and doesn’t eat. Let me see what I can find.”
(One week later)
“Hey, honey? I want your opinion.”
“Of what… Oh!”
I am modeling for him a lovely pair of Angelina 917s. Purple ones, in fact, and I look cute as hell, gotta say. They’re a little retro, and the shaping makes them look skimpier than they are. The lace edging looks like decor, but is actually a fully functional part of the design. They’re Granny Panties… in disguise!
“Well… wow.”
Damn straight.
Grown up women wear practical undies for good reasons. (Same reasons grown up men wear tightie whities, by the way, and nobody calls those Grampy Panties, do they. Hmmph.) But if someone came up with a design that fulfilled all practical requirements but looked pretty? At a reasonable price? You would buy those, wouldn’t you?

Okay Homies, what are YOU waiting for? Give us your reviews of your favorite sexy high-waisted panties.
As someone who carries approximately 50% of her body weight in her thighs, I’m partial to high-cut underwear like these lacy ones or for simple-but-not grannie these plain ones. The hipster cut underwear drives me nuuuuuuuts because my butt is always trying to escape and the fabric bunches around my thighs.
Megan, I love you, but some of these panties (namely, Danielle and Bali) do not cover the whole butt. They’re some kind of sneaky underwear which only LOOK as if they could cover your whole backside, and they do while you stay perfectly still, but as soon as you start actually walking, moving, living with them, they’ll give you a wedgie from hell. Shame on all the sneaky granny wedgies!
Damn sneaky granny wedgies!!! 🙁
“and nobody calls those Grampy Panties, do they”
Petition to start calling tightie whities “grampy panties” XD
Came here to say this.
Many years ago VS was having an underwear clearance and I bought one each of about ten different kinds to try out and see what I liked, and I discovered their lace-waist brief cotton panty. It’s not high-waist, but it IS full coverage, and the lace makes it pretty, too. It’s a bit more expensive than the Hanes or Fruit of the Loom packs, but SO comfortable and wedgie-free and the leg elastic is thin and flat enough that there are minimal if any pantylines. It’s the only kind I’ll wear now.
Of course, every body is different and your mileage may vary, but commenting here in case these help anyone else out! 🙂
My booty unfortunately finds a way to make even these give me a wedgie! Silly butt of mine! But, through a similar attempt of finding the best style of panties for myself I happened upon the the very similar, VS Lace Waist Shortie Panties – specifically the ones with the lace around the leg because they help reduce the potential panty lines from wearing shorts underneath your clothes. I just wish they came in more colors/patterns, but they do have the basics black and white and some new patterns every year.
I was recently in a laundry quandary because my apartment complex’s machines were out of order. I was short on time and about to head out of town for a conference, so I had to go speed shopping for new clothes, including underwear. Faced with the selection at Target and Marshalls (quick, cheap, professional-looking clothes – check!) I had to scour the Hanes and Fruit-of-the-Loom packs for the first time, well, ever. I ended up getting some panties described as “low-rise brief,” which had a much higher waist and much fuller coverage than I was used to. At first I felt horrified, but then I convinced myself to put up with them by imagining they were purposefully retro. I survived, and I can wear them with high-waisted skirts, but all of that said, I’ll stick with VS. I’m about a size 10, and I’m certainly not 19 years old, but Victoria’s Secret panties still make me feel good about myself and are comfortable.
Also, to me having panties that are near-100% cotton is more important than anything else. So all those examples that Megan posted look lovely, but I probably wouldn’t be able to wear them except on very rare special occasions.
+100 for the subtle brilliance that is “laundry quandary”
Thanks! 🙂
Hallelujah on those Angelina pannies.
Years ago, Offbeat helped me find my wedding photographer and videographer.
Today, post-wedding&divorce, Offbeat helps me find underpants.
Thanks Offbeat!
I feel best in skimpy thongs, because the less fabric there is, the less restricted I feel.
If, however, I want comfy underwear and full coverage, for example under a skirt on a warm or windy summer day, I go for my husband’s boxers/boxer briefs. The extra room in front that men’s underwear has means no wedgies! Plus, goodbye to chub rub!!! 😀
Yeah, I just wish listed the Angelinas. I’m switching careers from fashion retail to elder care and the panties I could wear under my cute skirts and leggings (where I could readjust behind a double-H rack or while emptying fitting rooms) aren’t going to cut it when I’m bending and twisting around in scrubs helping elderly men and women bathe, dress, and potty. The Angelinas look like I can wear under my scrubs without panty lines but will keep up with all the physical activity!
