Large selection of underpants for women

Although briefs and panties are worn beneath outerwear and therefore remain invisible in everyday life, underpants are among the most important garments in any wardrobe. With the exception of the bra, very few other garments come as close to the wearer. Wear comfort is therefore the top priority when choosing the right women's underpants.

Types of underpants for women

SCHIESSER offers a wide selection of different brief styles and cuts that combine high material quality with an appealing design. Whether thongs, briefs, or panties – what matters most is the individual style and a comfortable fit.

Briefs

Classic briefs are comfortable and simple all-rounders. The English verb "to slip" means "to slide into". Women's briefs suit all body types and are characterised by a V-shape. Briefs for women come in a variety of styles: maxi panties, for example, feature a high waistband and help to smooth the stomach. Similarly, waist briefs sit just below the navel and flatter the figure. Mini briefs, on the other hand, sit low on the hips and can therefore be worn beneath low-rise jeans. Midi panties fall somewhere in between, sitting at hip height. All three fits share the same classic brief shape. Particularly popular styles include jazz pants and rio briefs. The rio briefs cover the seat and hips – they are, in a sense, the quintessential brief. In a high-waist version, they are cut particularly high. Jazz pants offer freedom of movement thanks to a high leg cut and a waist-high fit, making them a popular choice for sport and active wear.

Boxer shorts

Boxer shorts for women are the perfect choice for those seeking comfort and support in their underwear. Their relaxed fit provides a comfortable wear comfort and makes them an excellent option for both sports and leisurely nights in. SCHIESSER boxer shorts for women are convincing with their timeless designs and high-quality materials – ideal for women who value quality and style. Whether as cosy homewear or as underpants beneath everyday clothing, boxer shorts for women are the ideal companion for every day.

Panties

Panties feature wide side panels and cover the seat more than classic briefs. They also have a truncated leg opening. As they rarely shift out of place, they are frequently worn for sport. The range of panty styles is equally extensive. Hipsters are particularly popular – the hipster brief is considered a young and contemporary cut among panties. Compared to the more classic panty, hipsters are distinguished by narrower side panels that sit on the hip. The French knicker, by contrast, represents a more classic cut. Usually made from 100% cotton, French knickers are valued primarily for their wear comfort.

Thongs

The front of a thong features a V-shape, whilst the seat is only minimally covered. The side panels are very narrowly cut. Thongs could playfully be described as next to nothing. However, they serve an important fashion purpose: as thongs are virtually invisible, they can be worn beneath close-fitting clothing, such as evening gowns in delicate fabrics. Unlike the thong, the tanga features two equal-sized triangles of fabric at the front and back. A hybrid between a thong and a tanga is the thong-style brief, cut so that a triangle of fabric sits at the base of the spine. A particularly alluring variation is the Brazilian brief. As a blend of brief and thong, the Brazilian features a wide side panel but covers only part of the seat. It is often crafted with lace and therefore has a delicate and elegant appearance..

Period briefs and period panties

Thoughtfully designed period underwear offers comfortable solutions for specific needs and requirements. One example is the SCHIESSER period briefs and panties. They reliably absorb moisture and, thanks to their washability at 30 degrees, are also sustainable. With their attractive cut, fashionable colour palette, and decorative details, period briefs can more than hold their own aesthetically against regular women's underpants, providing reliable everyday support. Thanks to their cut, which offers both freedom of movement and leak protection, period panties can also be worn at night beneath pyjamas or a night shirt.

Seamless underpants for women

An irritating seam can render even the most fashionable pair of underpants unwearable. SCHIESSER therefore pays close attention to cuts that complement the female form when designing briefs. For those who want that little bit extra, seamless briefs are the first choice. So-called seamless briefs appear as if crafted in one piece, as they are entirely free of disruptive seams. Made from fine, soft material, seamless underwear moulds to the skin with a perfect fit. Thanks to flat-bonded side seams, seamless briefs can be worn effortlessly beneath close-fitting clothing, such as leggings or slim-cut pants. Seamless underpants are available in a variety of cuts. During the cooler months, for example, seamless shorts are an excellent option. And for those who prefer a coordinated look, the matching seamless bustier can be purchased alongside the seamless brief. In addition to on-trend colours, skin-toned seamless underpants and bustiers are also available.

Popular materials for women's underpants: cotton, modal, and more

The materials used to make briefs are varied and meet a wide range of requirements. The most common materials are:

  • Cotton briefs
  • Modal briefs
  • Organic cotton underpants
  • Microware briefs

Cotton

Firmly in first place, however, is cotton and organic cotton. SCHIESSER offers women's cotton underpants in numerous styles. Little wonder – cotton delivers outstanding wear comfort as well as optimal moisture regulation. Classics such as double rib and fine rib cotton underpants are interpreted at SCHIESSER in fashionable, contemporary colours, making them not only pleasant against the skin but also a colourful eye-catcher.

Modal and spandex

Alongside women's underpants made from 100% cotton, blended fabrics combining modal and spandex are highly sought after. Elastic single-jersey microware is also well suited to numerous styles, sometimes combined with floral, semi-transparent lace at the waistband or sides.

Optimal fit: Small and large sizes

To ensure maximum wear comfort, SCHIESSER offers women's underpants in numerous cuts and material combinations. The size range also impresses, spanning from XS to 7XL. Women seeking larger sizes will find particularly suitable options in maxi panties, waist briefs, or Tai briefs. Period briefs are also available up to size 52. For sizes 34 to 42, SCHIESSER has designed not only a fashionable selection of underpants but also women's briefs with a retro look. Slips & more offers feminine cuts with detail-oriented decorative stitching, lace, or delicate buttons. Combined with the matching shirt from the Shirts & more line, these colourful classics in the world of underpants are a real eye-catcher.
