“I have a pack of these Hanes briefs and they are the briefs I turn to when I need full coverage,” says Glamor commercial editor Malia Griggs. “It's not the cutest underwear I own, but when I'm feeling special Crap, “They’re high-waisted, soft, and exactly what I want on my body.”

Schwartz and Glamor senior editor Jessica Radloff own them too. “I have very sensitive skin, and these cotton briefs are not only very comfortable, but also don’t cause irritation like other materials often do,” says Radloff. However, Schwartz notes that the band is quite thick, so if you prefer a pair that you might forget you're wearing, this might not be the set for you. On the other hand, “they don't fluctuate much while I sleep, and the treble range makes me feel like I'm wearing belly control underwear“,” she says. Plus, they're made from organic cotton, which is free from dyes and chemicals that irritate your skin.
