Quick answer
Choose the HIGH-RISE UNDIES for full coverage and no-dig comfort, or the MATILDA THONG for a barely-there look with mid-to-high rise support.
Coverage and silhouette
The HIGH-RISE UNDIES are cut for a body-skimming fit that doesn't cut into curves, making them ideal for those who want full rear coverage and a smooth line under leggings or fitted pants.
The MATILDA THONG offers a semi-sheer, lower-profile option. Its french-cut leg line and mid-to-high rise sit below the navel, giving a practical-but-sexy look with minimal fabric in the back.
Fabric and feel
HIGH-RISE UNDIES use 92% organic cotton and 8% spandex with a signature bound-edge construction. The cotton-spandex blend provides stretch and breathability for all-day wear.
MATILDA THONG is made from an organic cotton pique knit with a matte, dry hand and lots of stretch. It features silky-soft piping elastic, which adds a delicate touch while keeping the thong in place.
Trade-offs at a glance
- HIGH-RISE UNDIES: Coverage: Full rear coverage and a high waist that stays put. The bound-edge construction prevents rolling, but the extra fabric may show under thin or tight bottoms.
- MATILDA THONG: Minimal lines: Eliminates visible panty lines with a thong back. The french cut and mid-to-high rise offer a flattering leg line, but some may find the thong style less comfortable for all-day wear.
- Sizing note: ARQ recommends sizing down in the HIGH-RISE UNDIES if between sizes. No specific sizing note is provided for the MATILDA THONG, so consider your usual size. Check the size chart for each style before ordering.
