What is a shorty and how is it different from a boxer or panties?
A shorty is a shorter version of a boxer. It fully covers the buttocks, with a low-rise cut on the hips and wider sides than classic panties. It is more covering than a brief, without going as far down the thighs as a boxer.
The boxer, on the other hand, covers more of the hips and slightly extends onto the thighs. Very comfortable, it resembles a mini-short and provides an overall feeling of support.
Compared with classic panties or a more high-cut brief, the shorty follows the body’s shape more closely and creates a smooth, flattering silhouette. Low-rise styles reveal more of the hips, while high-waisted shorties define the waist and offer a slight smoothing effect.

Which materials should you choose for a comfortable and sexy shorty?
Choosing the right fabric is essential to finding the perfect balance between comfort and style:
Cotton: soft, breathable, and hypoallergenic—ideal for everyday wear. Cotton shorties provide a natural and durable feel.
Lace: elegant and feminine, adding a touch of sensuality without sacrificing comfort. Perfect for a sexy shorty or an evening set.
Microfiber: lightweight, stretchy, and soft. It creates a second-skin effect. Invisible microfiber shorties are discreet under tight clothing.
What are the advantages of choosing a shorty?
The shorty ticks all the boxes for easy-to-wear lingerie:
Optimal comfort: its enveloping cut reduces friction and remains comfortable all day.
Versatility: it can be worn under jeans, dresses, or skirts, during the day or in the evening.
Flattering silhouette: its fitted cut prevents folds and visible lines under clothing.
Balanced seduction: lace shorties or Brazilian cuts reveal just the right amount.
Wide range of sizes and colors: black, white, bright colors, multipacks, and great deals for every body shape.
How to choose your shorty according to your body shape?
The right shorty is above all the one you feel comfortable in:
Slim silhouette with narrow hips: a low-rise or slightly loose shorty adds volume.
Fuller hips and buttocks: a classic close-fitting cut ensures support and comfort, high- or low-waisted depending on the desired effect.
Round buttocks: a Brazilian shorty highlights curves beautifully.
Whatever your body type, take your measurements (hip and pelvis circumference) and refer to the size guide for a perfect fit.
High-waisted or low-rise shorty: which one should you choose?
The choice depends on your body shape and style:
High-waisted shorty: a more covering waistband that refines the silhouette and smooths the stomach. It offers gentle support and a slightly retro look.
Low-rise shorty: a more open cut that reveals the hips. Ideal for slimmer silhouettes and perfect under low-rise trousers.
How to care for your shorty and extend its lifespan?
A few simple steps help keep your shorties in good condition:
Washing: machine wash at low temperature or hand wash. Use a laundry bag for lace.
Drying: air dry; microfiber dries quickly.
Replacement: replace shorties every 6 to 12 months (depending on elastic wear).
How to match your shorty with a bra?
For a harmonious set, match the materials or colors of your shorty with your bra.
Lace shorties pair perfectly with a matching bra for a sexy look. Cotton or microfiber styles go well with a bralette or a comfortable bra for a more casual style.
Dare to mix and match: fun prints, complementary colors, and fabric combinations—an Undiz signature.
