Great fit!

I love the fit of these retro briefs! They come up high enough for good coverage but sit just under the belly button which I like. The seams are comfortable and my favorite part about these is that they don’t roll down below my belly through the day. They stay up. I hope the retro briefs will be in stock in more colors in my size! (2XL)

Great Organic Cotton Briefs

These are a great investment!

I air dry mine and they stay the same as when I got in regards to fit! I’m 5’2 so more high waisted on me which I like! Great coverage and lovely colors!
