Boyleg briefs that stay smooth and stay put

Boyleg, boyshort, boy leg briefs, whatever you call them, ours are the shortest cut we make. A 3″ leg, full coverage at the back, and a barely-there feel that works under leggings, jeans, gym gear and fitted skirts.

If you have spent years pulling your undies out of your bum, this is the fix.

Why they do not show through your leggings

Here is something most people get wrong: a boyleg is not automatically no-VPL. Plenty of them have stitched hems and elastic trims, and that ridge prints a line straight through anything fitted. Ours do not, because our waistband and hems are hot-pressed instead of sewn. The edge is bonded flat, so there is nothing to show through, nothing to dig in, and nothing to leave a mark on your skin.

Same reason they do not roll down at the waist or curl at the leg the way a stitched elastic does after a few washes.

Honest talk about ride-up

The 3″ is our shortest leg, so it sits higher on the thigh. For most people it stays exactly where it should. But if you have fuller thighs, or ride-up is the thing that drives you mad, a longer leg will always hold better. Our 5″ boxer briefs are the everyday middle ground, and our 8″ biker shorts give the most coverage and the best anti-chafe protection.

We would rather tell you that up front than have you order the wrong length.

Where they earn their keep

  • Under leggings, activewear and fitted pants, with no lines showing
  • Under scrubs, uniforms and long shifts on your feet
  • Under jeans and shorter skirts
  • Sleeping and lounging, when you want the least amount of fabric on you
  • Hot, humid days when anything heavier feels like too much

The fit

Sizes XS to 4XL, in playful prints and classic black. Choose an attached gusset for everyday wear, or a floating gusset if you wear a liner or pad, which you will find in our PadStay range.

Our sizes run a little generous. If you are between sizes, size down for your first pair. A pair that is too big is the fastest way to end up with ride-up.

Snug Qs (the stuff everyone asks)

They are the same thing. In Australia we say boyleg, in the US they tend to say boyshort. Same cut, same coverage.

The boyleg has a longer leg and covers your whole bottom. A bikini or hipster sits lower on the hip with a much shorter leg and less coverage at the back.

The 3″ is our shortest leg, so it sits higher on the thigh. It stays put for most people, but if you have fuller thighs or ride-up is your main frustration, our 5″ boxer briefs or 8″ biker shorts will hold better. A longer leg is what stops ride-up.

No. A lot of boylegs do, because a stitched hem leaves a ridge that prints through. Ours are hot-pressed and bonded flat, so there is no line and nothing digs in.

Check the size chart and measure rather than guessing. Our sizes run a little generous, so if you are between sizes, size down. Going too big usually causes ride-up.

The attached gusset is the everyday option. Choose the floating gusset if you wear a liner or a pad, it lets the pad wrap underneath and stay put. That is our PadStay range.
