Have you ever been confused by all the different cuts of underwear?
Let us break it down for you!
We've managed to break our range down to 9 basic cuts and if
we're honest with you, lots of underwear falls into multiple categories!
Our three biggest factors?
1. Tum Coverage - low rise, mid rise and high rise refers to
how high they sit on you waist, the higher the rise, the more tum
coverage!
2. Bum Coverage - from a String Gee to a Full Coverage, different
cuts have different levels of cheekiness! (Our favourite is a Brazilian
Cut which gives the perfect peachy shape!)
3. Hip coverage - Where your underwear sits on your hip or how
wide the waist band is can dramatically change your silhouette and
flatter or un-flatter depending on your shape!
But a picture tells a thousand words so hopefully by the end of this
article, you'll know what bum, tum and hip coverage is right for you!
Tum - low rise
Bum - high coverage
