Quick answer

The EliteMan Hipster Brief sits low on the hips with minimal rear coverage, making it ideal for slimmer legs. Its MicroModal/Lycra blend and AnatoMax pouch provide stretch, breathability, and anatomical separation.

Understanding the low rise fit

This brief sits below the natural waist, so it works best with low-rise pants or shorts. The minimal side and rear coverage means less fabric to bunch, but it also means less support for those with fuller thighs or glutes. If you prefer more coverage, consider a trunk or boxer brief instead.

Fabric and feel

The MicroModal/Lycra blend gives the brief a soft, almost silky hand feel with four-way stretch. It's breathable and moisture-wicking, which helps during warmer days or light activity. The fabric is also odor-resistant, so you can wear it longer between washes without worry.

Waistband and labels

The waistband is fabric-wrapped with no logo, so it won't pinch or leave marks on your skin. Care labels are printed directly onto the fabric instead of sewn in, eliminating irritation from tags. This makes the brief a good choice if you have sensitive skin.

How to choose and care for your EliteMan Hipster Brief

  1. Check your waist and hip measurement: Measure around your natural waistline and the fullest part of your hips. Compare with the size chart on the product page. The low rise means the waistband sits lower, so your hip measurement matters more than with higher-rise briefs. A common mistake is ordering based on waist size alone, which can lead to a too-loose fit on the hips.
  2. Wash in cold water, hang to dry: Turn the brief inside out and wash in cold water with like colors. Avoid fabric softener—it can break down the MicroModal fibers. Hang dry instead of machine drying to preserve the stretch and prevent pilling. Machine drying on high heat can shrink the Lycra content and reduce the lifespan of the waistband.
  3. Try the brief for low-rise outfits first: Wear it under low-rise jeans or shorts to test the fit. The minimal rear coverage means it won't show above the waistband, but if you need more support for active use, consider a boxer brief instead. The low rise is not ideal for high-waisted pants—the waistband may roll down or sit uncomfortably.
