Three cream bamboo hipster briefs
The hipster is the brief with a low to medium high waist and full coverage at the back. It sits on the hip instead of on the stomach, and the broad sewn on elastic in the waistband is what decides whether it stays in place or rolls down during the day. The pack contains three identical cream hipster briefs in a soft bamboo quality, for women, in sizes S to XL.
The waistband is the whole difference
A narrow elastic gathers the pressure over a couple of centimetres and therefore cuts into the skin. A broad, sewn on elastic spreads the same pressure over a larger area, and that is the reason the hipster can sit low without sliding. The elastic is sewn on and not just folded into the fabric, which means the waistband holds its shape, even after it has been stretched and washed many times.
For trousers that sit on the hip
The hipster is made for the sort of trousers most people wear every day: jeans and trousers with a low or medium high waist, where a high waisted brief would stick up over the edge. The side seams hold it in place, so it does not twist around the hip when you move, and the full coverage at the back removes the visible edges under close fitting fabric.
The cream shade
Cream is the colour that disappears under light clothes, where both white and black show through. Under light jeans, thin trousers and light skirts it is therefore the cream shade that makes the brief invisible. At the same time the colour is neutral enough to work under everything else, so the pack does not only get used in the summer.
The fabric
The briefs are made of 70 % bamboo viscose, 25 % organic cotton and 5 % elastane. The bamboo viscose is smooth against the skin and moves moisture away, so it evaporates rather than staying in the fabric. The cotton gives body, and the elastane keeps both the waistband and the leg openings in shape. The background to the fibre is found under facts about bamboo.
The certification
The briefs are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified under cert. no. BJ020 142441, which means that all the components are tested for harmful substances. That also applies to the elastic in the waistband, which is the part that lies closest and tightest against the skin.
Choose the style to suit the clothes on top
Hipster, tai, maxi and thong each solve their own task, and most people end up with two or three models in the drawer rather than one. The differences in cut, waist and coverage are described under guide to knickers and underpants, so you can choose according to what you actually wear on top.
Washing
Wash the briefs at 40 degrees together with your light clothes, do not use fabric softener, and let them air dry, then the cream shade stays clean and the elastic stays elastic. See the rest under washing and care.
Size and the rest of the set
The model comes from S to XL. Choose your usual size, and go up if in doubt. Tops and vests in the same quality are found under tops for women, and the other brief models you will find under bamboo knickers.
