Low-Rise Waists: Yes or No?

By now you probably have a personal preference as to what kind of waistband style you prefer on your undies. And I’m not just talking about the width and material of it. More and more men’s underwear makers are creating items with low-rise or even ultra low-rise waistbands. Some even go to the extreme of barely rising above your crotch line.

While such low-cut waistbands are undeniably sexier than the old-fashioned high-rise ones, they can sometimes be too low. This then results in unsightly crack views when you bend or crouch, and tends to not be the most comfortable to wear, especially in the colder months when extra coverage is much desired.

I for one am all for the golden middle, when it comes to waists: not to high and not too low. Here are a few undies with just the right sort of waist rise available at DUGG.

First, there is the 2xist Stretch No Show Brief. This brand makes some of the best undies, and this traditional brief is no exception. The “No Show” part of the name signifies that these sit on your hips, which means that the waistband will not show above your pants, but it still hits at a very comfortable height. These come in a handy 2 pack with one black and one black/pinstripe pair. The briefs are made for a cotton and spandex blend, while the waistband is made from a microfiber material that is much more comfortable to wear than regular elastic. The added spandex also gives these an excellent body hugging fit.

Calvin Klein also makes a mean pair of low-waist undies, and the Calvin Klein X Micro Brief is an excellent example. The wide elastic waistband on these undies hits just above the hipline and features the Calvin Klein logo in bold red letters. So these are also a great way to add some colour to your undies drawer. They are made from a super soft tactel and elastane blend, which is a great material for wearing all day every day. They come in sizes S to XL and are available in either black or white.

Another great low-rise pair of undies is the C-in2 Pop Color Lo No Show Profile Brief. This item is from the C-In2 Lo No Show line, which features a wide range of styles with very low-rise waists, and which made the brand so famous. Despite the low-rise of the waistbands in this collection, which hit at the hip, these are still some of the most comfy undies you can get. This is largely due to the fact that the waistbands are extra thick and made from a very soft microfiber material.
