Women's Undergarment Bottoms

Coverage is what separates one style here from the next, and it reads from the waist down. Full and high-waist briefs cover the most, sitting at the natural waist or above it; classic briefs sit a little lower, at or just below the navel, with full rear coverage; hipsters drop to the hip bone with straight sides; bikini cuts narrow the sides; boyshorts square off the leg. Thongs and G-strings reduce the back to a strip, and tangas sit between a thong and a bikini.

Waistbands are the second variable, from wide elastic and ribbed logo bands to picot-edged trims and bonded, laser-cut hems that leave no line under a close skirt. Cotton and cotton-modal breathe best and line most gussets, microfibre and seamless jersey stay flat, and lace, mesh and silk sit at the finer end. A small share of elastane supplies the stretch, and the recovery that keeps a band where it was put.

All FAQ's

Women's Undergarment Bottoms

What is the difference between a brief, a bikini, a hipster and a thong?

The names describe coverage. A classic brief sits at or just below the navel, with full rear coverage and a fuller cut through the leg. A bikini sits on the hip with narrower sides and slightly less at the back. A hipster sits lowest of the three, with straight sides and a wider band across the hip. A thong keeps a front panel but reduces the back to a narrow strip, so there is almost nothing to show under close fabric.

Why is the gusset in underwear lined with cotton?

The gusset is the small separate panel sewn into the crotch, and it is usually cotton even when the rest of the garment is lace or synthetic. Cotton absorbs moisture into the fibre and breathes, so it does not hold humidity against the skin the way polyester or nylon does — those fibres barely absorb at all, which is why the moisture stays on the surface. The panel is often left undyed as well, to keep dye away from sensitive skin. Wash cotton underwear warm, around 40C, and skip fabric softener, which coats the fibres and cuts that absorbency.

Are DIHSAN's underwear styles authentic?

Yes. Every piece DIHSAN sells is the brand's own — genuine designer product, with the maker's hardware, stamping and markings intact. Nothing is a reproduction or a licensed imitation.

Will I be charged duties on a DIHSAN underwear order?

No. Duties are included on every DIHSAN order, and US orders include taxes as well.

Can I return an underwear purchase at DIHSAN?

Yes. Eligible underwear styles can go back within 14 days of the ship date, for store credit rather than cash, and shipping charges are non-refundable. Items discounted 70% or more — plus swimwear, intimates, and limited-release styles at any discount — are final sale.
