Indulge in the luxurious comfort of our ethically made, incredibly smooth Tencel Modal fabric that soothes your body. Embrace your figure and discover how it feels to feel like a goddess.

Upgrade your sleepwear and daytime wardrobe with lounge bras, your ultimate go-to undergarment for both comfort and style. But what is a lounge bra? Lounging bras are designed to provide a seamless, smooth, and comfortable experience against your skin. Say goodbye to discomfort and hello to a whole new level of relaxation and style. A lounge bra aka a sleep bra is perfect for everyday wear. Living life to its fullest is easy without constantly pulling up straps that leave painful marks on your shoulders or underwire stabbing at your ribs. Lounging bras take your comfort to the next level so you can keep living your best life.

Lounge bras are a versatile and relaxed alternative to traditional bras. Unlike underwire bras, lounge bras have none! They hug your natural shape while supporting your body. Lounge bras are meant for those who want to live life without the poking and prodding of underwire. They offer the blend of support, freedom, and effortless style that you're looking for. Whether you're running errands, taking a nap, or going out for the night, our bras will have you forgetting you're even wearing one.

Lounge Bra vs. Bralette

Lounge bras are a type of bralette at Woxer. We offer the Boss bralette and the Icon bralette. While some bralettes or lounging bras offer padding, lace, and thin straps, Woxer bralettes are made for maximum comfort. Choose lounge bras for an elevated sleep experience and all-day comfort that surpasses expectations.

What To Look for in a Lounge Bra

Let's dig further into the question, "What is a lounge bra?" and cover more on how to choose one.

Lounge bras are ideal for everyday wear and low-impact workouts like walking, yoga, stretching, pilates, and more. But a lounge bra is not a sports bra, so what should you look for when buying one? Material, fit, style, and comfort are the go-to factors to consider when searching for the perfect bra.

Material

If you've ever worn a bra, you know just how important the material is. The right kind of material can make all the difference when you just want to lounge around the house or go about your day without readjusting. Breathable fabric is so important on hot summer days. Who wants to start sweating in non-breathable fabric? Not us. Choose lounge bras made from breathable materials like cotton, modal, or bamboo.

Type of Fit

Lounging bras come in all types of styles, from bralettes with thin straps and lace to sports bra-inspired fits with seamless construction and thick straps. Whatever style you go for, opt for one that offers a relaxed and snug fit without any pinching or digging into your skin. Choose a bra based on your lifestyle. At Woxer, we understand that everyone's body is unique, and we want to give you the confidence to shine any time of the day or night. We offer sizes from small to 3XL to fit every individual's body shape.

Style

Since we've already covered "What is a lounge bra?" let's take a closer look at the lounge bra styles to consider. Lounge bras come in various styles. Choose a style that aligns with your lifestyle and preferences. At Woxer, we recognize that individualism is what makes us who we are. We offer the Boss bralette and the Icon bralette in a range of patterns and colors. For those looking for something a little louder, our funky Tie Dye and After Dark designs are for you. For those looking for something a little more subdued, we've got colors like Black 2.0, Heather Grey, White, and Mountain Green.

Comfortability vs. Versatility

When looking for a lounge bra, comfort and versatility are two major factors. After all, the name says it all, right? Comfortability ensures you can unwind, sleep, and move freely without discomfort or irritation. You also want to determine how versatile you want your bra to be. Are you wearing it for lounging, running errands, going out, sleeping, or working out? Consider the level of support you need from your lounge bra and make sure the bra offers adequate support.

Styling a Woxer Lounge Bra

Styling a Woxer lounge bra is all about embracing comfort, confidence, and effortless style. Style your Woxer bra when you're hanging out around the house, going to the gym, going on a date, or wearing it to work.

Around the House

Your Woxer bra is perfect for pairing with loungewear bottoms like our Baller or Biker underwear or with joggers, leggings, or loose shorts. If matching is your style, pair it with the same colors or complementary tones. This laid-back combination is perfect for relaxed days at home or running errands in comfort and style. Discovering the answer to "What is a lounge bra?" is easier than it sounds. It's all about finding one you like and feeling comfortable and confident in it.

To the Gym

Going to a yoga class? Or just want to don the athleisure look? Grab your Woxer bralette and pair it with high-waisted leggings or basketball shorts, an oversized tee or a zip-up hoodie, and sneakers. Move freely while you're working out, look good, and feel confident doing it.

Date Night

Going on a date with your partner or someone new is always exciting. Whatever your style, our bralettes are perfect for taking on the night. Wear it under a button-up short-sleeve shirt, a sheer low-cut top, or with a pair of high-waisted jeans. Incorporate our bras into your look with a touch of modesty or a touch of allure. Play with contrasting colors or textures to create a show-stopping aesthetic.

Workplace

Even though the name "lounge bra" has a casual undertone, you can still incorporate it into your workplace look with a touch of professionalism. Wear it under a tailored blazer or suit jacket for a polished and sophisticated look. Layer a sheer blouse over your Woxer lounge bra and pair it with a camisole underneath for added coverage to maintain workplace-appropriate attire. Slip your Woxer bralette under a tailored button-up shirt for a refined and polished outfit. Opt for a classic white or neutral-colored shirt for a timeless and professional look.

Lounging Around Is Life

Women’s Boxershorts: Guide to the Perfect Fit

Clothing for women is everchanging and there is no exception to underwear. One piece that has grown in popularity is women's boxershorts. What are boxershorts? These stylish yet comfortable undergarments have grown in popularity due to their fit, colors, and more. There are so many options to choose from that it can be overwhelming. So how can you find the perfect fit for you? Keep reading to learn more about finding your perfect fit!

Boxershort Waistband Allowance

When considering the perfect fit, first you should consider the waistband size compared to your waist. We have many different sizes ranging from size 2 to size 20 and our waistbands have the elasticity to give you the right fit without sacrificing comfort. To find your size, you must decide what style of women's boxershorts you want.

For high-waisted boxershorts, you'll want to measure your waist. To find your waist, take your fingers and feel from the bottom of your ribs to the top of your hips. This middle part, usually found around the belly button, is your waist. Next, you'll need a mirror to make sure the measuring tape doesn't get twisted and gives an accurate measurement. Stand up straight and wrap the measuring tape around your waist. Make sure the tape isn't twisted in the back, then read the numbers of the tape and you'll have your waist measurement.

When looking at original boxershorts or boxer briefs, like our Bold collection, you should take a measurement of your hips instead. First, remove any bulky clothing, such as jeans, because this can throw the measurement off. Then, take the measuring tape from one side of your hips to the other, measuring the inches around the fullest part of your hips.

Once you have your boxers picked out and have measured your hips and waist, you can use our sizing guide to find the perfect fit for you!

What material is best for women’s boxershorts?

While many people believe cotton fabric to be the most comfortable material there is to offer, there are other materials that provide the same level of comfort with less of a carbon footprint. Our boxers are made from Modal, which is a bio-based fabric made from spinning beech tree cellulose. This material is soft and breathable combined with a bit of spandex to give you the perfect boxershorts. Other materials simply can't compare to the level of comfort we offer. Competitors often use cotton, nylon, and silk for their boxers, but we find that the benefits and comfort of Modal make it the right choice for our boxershorts.

Quality and Quantity

When it comes to purchasing women's boxershorts, consider both quality and quantity to find the perfect fit. The quality of boxershorts directly affects their durability and comfort. Opting for well-made boxershorts ensures they'll last longer and withstand regular wear and washing without losing their shape or elasticity. Look for strong stitching, high-quality fabric, and a reinforced waistband to ensure the boxershorts stay in place throughout the day.
Speaking of quantity, having a variety of boxershorts allows for flexibility and convenience in your wardrobe. While some women prefer a minimalistic approach with a few high-quality pairs, others may opt for a larger quantity to meet different needs and occasions. For instance, a multipack of boxershorts in various colors can offer versatility and style. Having different cuts such as boyshorts or boxershorts can also provide options depending on personal preferences or outfit choices.

Which boxershort fit is best?

Thinking of finding the right boxers for you can be a task, but it doesn't have to be! Finding the right fit for your personality and lifestyle is easy. There are many different options of women's boxers available that can cater to your unique needs whether you want something to add a little flair to your outfit or need a pair that can withstand a good workout. You can choose from a high-waisted boxer to a pair that fits at the hips. There are many underwear styles to choose from, but our boxers are the best!

Inseam

The inseam of your boxers is from the crotch of your shorts to the end of the leg. This part of your boxershorts is important to consider because, with other materials and fabrics, you may have to deal with them riding up, which can make for an uncomfortable day. Our specific design and fabric are made to withstand any riding up, wedgie problems, or bunching up, making it the perfect fit for any activity.

High-waisted or Hip?

Having trouble figuring out the right style for you? The two main styles of women's boxershorts are high-waisted and hip, so how do you know which is right for you? Our high-waisted boxershorts are made to come to the waist and can be used for both comfort and style. These boxershorts can be styled with a pair of jeans and a crop top to create an edgy look. If you want a more subtle choice or are looking for something that compliments an active lifestyle, you can look into our hip boxershorts. Both offer a worry-free fit and comfort beyond compare.

They can have pockets?!

That's right! The Dreamer is one of our styles complete with pockets! These boxershorts are the perfect material—they prevent chaffing and riding up all in one go. These boxers offer more coverage than bikini panties and, of course, they have pockets! Perfect to wear under sweats, on the go, or just lounging at home, these boxershorts with pockets are perfect for everyone.

Comfortability VS Versatility

If you're choosing between comfortability and versatility, why not choose both? With our boxershorts you don't have to sacrifice one without the other, we offer a wide variety of boxershorts that offer supreme levels of comfort with the versatility for any outfit. Whether you're lounging at home, working out in the gym, or heading off to work, you can count on these boxershorts to offer you the best in both comfort and versatility, giving you a great pair of underwear!

Boxer Briefs: The Start to Chafing Prevention

When you're looking for the right pair of underwear, you want to look for a pair that doesn't cause chafing. Unfortunately, chafing can cause irritation and discomfort, preventing you from being active and comfortable. Finding the right pair of anti-chafing boxer briefs is key to preventing chafing and we're here to help! To learn more about the best underwear for preventing chafing keep reading below!

What is chafing?

A woman running, an activity that can cause chafing.

Chafing is irritation of the skin. This skin irritation is caused by moisture and friction resulting in a rash. When you have cheap underwear that doesn't cover the upper thighs properly, your thighs rubbing together causes red spots that can become very sore. Not only can chafing happen in the thighs, but it can also go to the groin area as well. This skin irritation can be extremely uncomfortable and make you self-conscious.

What causes chafing?

Your skin may be strong, but it can only handle so much friction. Chafing occurs when your skin is constantly rubbing against skin or other materials like clothing. Add moisture to the mix and you have the extreme discomfort that comes from chafing. Many different things cause this to happen. Things that cause chafing include:

  • Exercise: During your workout, you have repeated motions along with sweat causing the friction to be worse and create problem areas.
  • Clothing: Having clothing that fits too tight can cause chafing, especially in your upper thighs.
  • Weather: While everyone loves fun in the sun, it can be a breeding ground for moisture and combined with friction, you have trouble on your hands. Not only can this hot and humid weather cause chafing itself but can also exacerbate symptoms due to excess sweating.

How To Prevent Chafing

There are many ways that you can prevent chafing and stay comfortable. Below you'll find ways in which you can prevent chafing so you can continue living your most comfortable life.

Anti-chafing Underwear
Having the right pair of underwear is key to preventing chafing. Anti-chafing boxer briefs are the perfect fit to keep you at maximum comfort levels. These types of underwear offer optimal comfort by giving you thigh coverage and a breathable groin.

Powders, Creams, Lubricants

Once chafing has occurred you may feel like you've lost against moisture, but there are ways to help this. Many companies have come out with different products including powders, creams, and lubricants to prevent chafing and help it heal once it starts. For example, if you're going to an amusement park where you'll be walking in the hot sun most of the day, use a chafing stick on your thighs to help prevent moisture and friction. Petroleum jelly is another great product that can both prevent chafing and help heal the affected area once it occurs.

What To Look for in Anti-Chafing Underwear

Looking at underwear options that will prevent moisture and friction that causes chafing means you'll want to keep a few things in mind. Below you'll find what to look for in selecting the right pair of boxer briefs to prevent discomfort.

Moisture-wicking

As you go on your search for the right pair of anti-chafing boxer briefs, you'll want to look for materials that are moisture-wicking. This means materials that have two jobs. The first job is to move sweat and moisture to the outer surface of the material. The second is to rapidly dry so that sweat doesn't saturate the fabric. This material will help keep you dry and avoid any rashes, keeping you comfortable all day long.

Fabric

Fabric type is one of the most important aspects of finding the right underwear to prevent chafing. Some materials lock moisture in and prevent breathability, which will only cause further irritation. Modal is a breathable material that keeps you cool and keeps moisture at bay.

Length

When looking at the right fit to prevent irritation and rashes you want to look at the length of your underwear. Long-leg boxer briefs are a wonderful option for preventing chafing because they offer total coverage. Chafing occurs between the thighs and groin and these boxer briefs cover these areas.

Fit

Having the right fit of boxer briefs is crucial to preventing rashes. If you have a pair of underwear that's restrictive and tight, this will keep moisture in and cause chafing. You want a stretchable fabric that hugs you just right without being too tight. Finding the right fit also includes the right length as we discussed previously. You want to find a pair of boxer briefs that covers the areas where chafing is most likely to occur.

Breathability

Breathability is an important aspect of finding the right anti-chafing boxer briefs because having this breathable material can keep you cool and rash-free. Look for boxer briefs that move with you and offer a cooling effect through the right materials.

The Best Boxers To Prevent Chafing

Many boxer designs can help you prevent chafing and keep your comfort levels at a max. Below you'll find our most popular shorts that will keep you cool and comfortable.

Star - 3in inseam

The Star boxer brief is one of our most popular pairs of underwear. This design comes in many different colors and patterned options, ranging from size small to 3 XL. This boxer brief may be our shortest style, but it gives superb protection against chafing.

Dreamer - 4in inseam, pockets

Is It Bad To Wear Your Bra to Bed?

I'm sure we've all heard that wearing your bra to bed isn't good for your health. But, wearing your bra to bed isn't necessarily bad. Just like all things in life, there's no "one size fits all" answer to "Is it bad to wear your bra to bed?" While some people may feel comforted in the extra support of wearing your bra to sleep in, others may find it a nuisance and prefer to sleep freely. We won't tell you what's best for your body. But we'll give you the low down on everything you need to know about wearing a bra to bed.

 

Benefits of Wearing a Bra to Bed

For many of us, wearing a bra to bed can help provide added support, especially to those with larger breasts. The added reinforcement from a bra can help reduce discomfort and minimize movement, helping you feel more secure during sleep. Wearing a bra to bed can also help alleviate breast tenderness during menstruation or hormonal changes. The compression from a bra can help minimize sensitivity and give you a sense of comfort, helping you get a more comfortable sleep experience.

Increase Posture Support

Wearing a sleep bra to bed can also help reduce back and neck pain. A well-fitted bra helps distribute weight evenly across the chest by lifting and supporting the breasts. Wearing a properly fitting bra to bed can help align your spine and promote better posture while you sleep. By minimizing the strain on your back and neck muscles, a bra can help alleviate pain and tension, allowing you to wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Reduce Hormonal Aches & Pains

Hormone fluctuations can happen at any time of the month, but especially during pregnancy or your menstrual cycle. With this comes breast tenderness, which can be incredibly uncomfortable when you're just trying to get caught up on sleep.

During this time, you may ask yourself, "Is it bad to wear your bra to bed just to get some relief?" Wearing a supportive bra to bed can help reduce the movement of breast tissue, giving you gentle compression that can help alleviate some tenderness. The added support minimizes the strain on sensitive breast ligaments, providing a comforting embrace that helps reduce pain and sensitivity.

Prevent Sagging

Wearing a bra during sleep can also help combat the effects of gravity on breast tissue, reducing the likelihood of sagging. The gentle support provided by a bra helps maintain the natural position and shape of your breasts, minimizing stretching and promoting long-term firmness.

Breastmilk Regulation

Wearing a supportive bra during sleep provides gentle compression that can help control breast milk leakage. The snug fit of the bra helps apply slight pressure to the breasts, reducing the likelihood of unexpected milk flow and minimizing the risk of lactation leakage onto clothing or bedding. This can bring peace of mind and enhance comfort during the night.

Protects Piercings

Wearing a bra to bed can help minimize friction and movement around your pierced areas. A well-fitted bra's gentle compression and support create a stable environment that reduces the risk of snagging, pulling, or rubbing against your piercings during sleep. By minimizing external interference, you can promote optimal healing and prevent irritation.

It's common to shift positions and inadvertently brush against your piercings during sleep. Wearing a bra provides an additional layer of protection, acting as a barrier between your piercings and external elements such as bedding, clothing, or other jewelry.

If you've recently gotten a new piercing or are in the process of healing, you're probably wondering, "Is it bad to wear your bra to bed?" Wearing a bra to bed can offer crucial support during this time. The compression helps stabilize the area, reducing the risk of excessive movement that can hinder the healing process.

The Drawbacks of Wearing a Bra to Bed

Most of us know the feeling of taking off our bra after work or before going to bed. It immediately gives us a feeling of relaxation, freedom, and comfort. Sleeping without a bra allows the breast tissue to move naturally, potentially promoting better blood circulation and minimizing discomfort. It can also reduce the risk of constriction or irritation caused by straps or underwires.

Some individuals may experience restricted blood circulation, skin irritation, discomfort, or restless sleep when wearing a bra during sleep. It's important to consider your comfort and needs, listening to your body to determine if wearing a bra to bed is the right choice.

Breathing & Circulation Issues

One drawback of wearing a bra to bed is the potential to impact breathing and circulation. Tight bras, especially if they have underwire, can restrict the natural movement of your chest and prevent the proper expansion of your lungs during sleep. This can lead to discomfort and difficulty breathing, potentially disrupting your sleep patterns.

Increased Skin Irritation

Another potential drawback of wearing a bra to bed is skin irritation and rashes. This is particularly problematic if the material is not breathable, if there's friction, or if your bra becomes dirty.

Increased Restlessness

While bras provide support, some people may find it uncomfortable or restrictive to wear them during sleep. This can lead to tossing and turning, disrupting sleep and reducing overall sleep quality.

Higher Risk of Breast Fungus

Allowing your skin to breathe during sleep is essential for maintaining healthy skin. Wearing a bra for extended periods, including during sleep, can create a warm and moist environment that may contribute to the growth of bacteria or fungi. If you're prone to skin irritations or infections, opting for braless sleep might be beneficial. In the following sections of "Is it bad to wear your bra to bed?" we'll cover the types of bras you can wear from Woxer for maximum comfort.

What kind of bra should you wear to bed?

When deciding on the kind of bra to wear to bed, lounge bras or bralettes from Woxer give you the relaxation and comfort you'd want. With the perfect balance of support and comfort, Woxer bralettes allow you to get a restful sleep

Lounge Bra

Designed with comfort in mind, lounge bras are crafted from soft, breathable fabrics and offer gentle support without using underwire. These bras provide a relaxed fit that allows for natural movement during sleep while providing a sense of support. Lounge bras are ideal for those seeking a cozy and effortless option that promotes unrestricted breathing and circulation, ensuring a comfortable night's sleep.

Bralette

Bralettes from Woxer offer a comfortable and lightweight alternative to traditional bras. These wire-free and often seamless bras provide gentle support and minimal coverage, making them a popular choice for bedtime wear. Bralettes are typically crafted from soft fabrics, providing a barely-there feel that allows for freedom of movement and breathability. The Woxer Icon and Boss bralettes offer comfortable designs making them versatile for lounging around or drifting off to dreamland.

To Wear or Not To Wear?

Ultimately, choosing to wear a bra to bed is personal. Consider how comfortable you'd be, your breast size, sensitivity, and any specific health concerns. Experiment with different options, such as sleep bras or bralettes. So, is it bad to wear your bra to bed? Listening to your body and prioritizing your comfort and well-being will guide you when deciding what's best for you!

Boxers vs. Briefs: What's the Difference, Really?

Boxers vs. Briefs: What's the Difference, Really?

In the world of underwear, there are many options to suit each individual's comfort and style. The type of underwear you wear is based on style, activity level, and comfort. Nowadays, there's new underwear in town that's taking the world by storm, and it's boxers! Women aren't just limited to tight-fitting underwear or bikini styles anymore. Now we have boxers, but what's the difference between boxers and briefs? Below you'll find the differences and how to choose the right pair for you!

What Are Boxers?

Boxers are a type of underwear that resemble shorts. This underwear style comes down the thigh usually right above the knee. While they may have started as men's underwear, they have become genderless as more women have adopted wearing boxers. Boxer shorts have been around for years and are known for their loose fit. Boxers can provide protection to the inner thigh to prevent chafing, especially when you're doing physical activities.

Benefits of Boxers

Boxers have grown in popularity in the last few years because of the many benefits they offer. One of the major benefits that boxers offer is a level of comfort that can't be reached with regular underwear. Bikini-style underwear tends to ride up and cause discomfort—not to mention, visible panty lines. The short-like fit of boxers also provides additional coverage that's carefree. This means you can put on your favorite jeans with a pair of boxers and you'll never know the difference. Finally, one of the best benefits that boxers offer is protection. The longer inseam of boxers provides protection against rashes caused by chafing. This looser fit provides excellent coverage and comfort that can't be matched!

What Are Briefs?

Briefs are a type of form-fitting underwear that doesn't extend down the thigh. This style of underwear is often referred to as bikini underwear, or even tighty whities, and has been a popular choice for everyone. This popularity comes from the tighter fit and support that briefs have to offer. This sleek triangle fit is great for people who don't like the added fabric that boxers have. Just like the many styles of boxers available, briefs have different styles too! You can choose hipsters that sit right at the hip or even high-waisted briefs for added support.

Benefits of Briefs

While briefs come in different styles, they all come with the same wonderful benefits. Briefs can give you more support because of the y-shape they have. With the right material, the waistband won't dig into your thighs or hips but rather show off your curves. The right-fitting brief won't cause bunching like boxers can because there's no added fabric.

Choosing Boxers or Briefs?

A blue question mark on a pink background symbolizes the question of choosing boxers vs briefs.

Boxers and briefs both have many wonderful benefits that can keep you comfortable and confident, but how do you know which is right for you? Each has its own benefits, let's look at how you can decide which pair of underwear is right for you.

Boxers, known for their loose fit and relaxed silhouette, offer greater breathability and freedom of movement. The extra fabric provides ventilation, reducing the risk of overheating, particularly during warmer seasons. Boxers also tend to provide more coverage, making them ideal for individuals who prefer a looser and more relaxed fit. Additionally, boxers come in various fabrics and designs, allowing for customization based on comfort and style preferences.

On the other hand, briefs are known for their snug fit and supportive design. The tight elastic waistband and contoured pouch offer a secure and supportive feeling, making briefs ideal for physical activities and sports. The tight fit is also beneficial for individuals who prefer a more streamlined look or wear tighter-fitting pants, as briefs prevent excess fabric from bunching up. Below you'll see how to find the best pair for you!

Activity

When it comes down to boxers vs briefs, you'll want to look at the activities you want to do. Different styles of underwear are better for different activities. Boxers are better for activities like running, walking, and bike riding because they can help prevent chafing because of their added coverage to the thighs. However, if you're looking to do more activities like yoga or pilates, you'll want to look for more of a brief or bikini underwear so you won't feel as restricted in your movement.

Environment

Your environment is another deciding factor in whether boxers or briefs are right for you. When it comes to loungewear, more people feel more comfortable lounging in a t-shirt and boxers than they do in briefs. Boxers offer more coverage and are less restrictive than briefs making them better for a relaxing evening at home. When it comes to different activities like going to the gym or a night out on the town, briefs may be a better option. For example, going out with the girls wearing your favorite black dress may call for brief underwear so there won't be bunching or visible boxers.

Comfort

Looking at the comfort of boxers and briefs depends on what you're doing. If you're at home sleeping, boxers and briefs both give a level of comfort that can help you rest through the night. One of the primary reasons why boxers are so comfortable is their loose-fitting design. Unlike other underwear that tends to be more form-fitting, boxers are intentionally designed with a generous amount of fabric and an open fly. This loose fit allows for ample airflow and breathability, preventing excessive heat and moisture buildup, which can often lead to discomfort or irritation.

Preference

One of the best ways to decide on boxers vs briefs is to think of your personal preference. You'll want to consider style and the clothes you wear, for example, how boxers would pair better with pants but briefs are better for dresses. Apart from just how you dress, think of your preferences for activities. A more active lifestyle may warrant the breathability of boxers and they can help protect you against chafing and rashes. However, if you're more into activities like yoga, you may want the tight fit of briefs. Beyond what you wear and what you do, think of the comfort that each pair of underwear provides. Choosing the right pair of underwear should be based primarily on comfort and how they make you feel.

Conclusion

There are many different types of underwear to choose from these days—don't limit yourself to just one! Each pair of underwear comes with its own benefits and can be paired wonderfully with many different outfits. Boxers are great for lounging and give you a more breathable feeling, while the tight fit of briefs can help make you feel more confident and secure. These underwear types each have their own unique benefits, so you can't go wrong. When it comes to boxers vs briefs, what pair will you wear?

What Shape Is My Butt? The 6 Butt Shapes: And How To Embrace It!

Butt, booty, derriere, or whatever you call it, we all have one! Finding what kind of butt you have can help you in many ways, especially in how you can dress to show off your booty. So when you ask, "What shape is my butt?" we can help you find it! There are different types of butts and it's easy to find out what type you have. Let's dive into how to find your butt shape so you can rock it in style!

A woman holding a paddleboard overlooking the water.

What butt shape do you have?

Your butt shape is ultimately determined by the placement of your pelvis and hip bones which means there are many different butt shapes you can have. Below we'll talk about the six main butt shapes and how you can confidently find yours.

Spoon-Shaped Butt

When looking at a spoon-shaped butt, picture an upside-down heart. Also known as a V-shaped butt, it's defined by the curviness of the back leading to the butt, this shape is pleasing to the eye. While it may not be completely symmetrical, it's a beautiful shape and should be embraced!

Heart-Shaped Butt

Having a heart-shaped butt is where the upper halves of the buttock are larger than the bottom halves. Since it's narrower at the bottom near the hip line, this butt shape naturally draws attention upwards. This is the perfect opportunity to wear something high-waisted to show off what you got!

Round-Shaped Butt

When asking yourself, "What shape is my butt?" you might be surprised to find that it could be one of the most envied butt shapes—the round butt. As you can guess, this shape is round all the way around giving the look of a bubble butt. As seen with many different celebrities, this butt shape has become very popular. There are many different exercises you can do to achieve this butt shape by strengthening your butt muscles.

Pear-Shaped Butt

With a pear-shaped figure, your butt will be larger than your waist and hips. Also known as the A-shape butt, this type of butt truly shines in form-fitting outfits that accentuate your curves. Paired with a belt at the waist, you can truly make your butt shine and be the star of the show!

Flat Butt

Flat butts are known for being sleek and small. Thongs can be a super fit for this type of butt and you can give added definition by opting for jeans or shorts with decorated pockets. While many celebs have round butts, just as many are known for their flat butts. The key to each shape is confidence in your own skin!

Square-Shaped Butt

A square-shaped bottom is when the hip bone and outer thigh run perpendicular to the ground. This basically means your butt is equal in size from the waist to the hips. This type of butt is the most common butt shape, especially in younger women.

How To Identify Your Butt Shape

If you're wondering, "What shape is my butt?" grab a mirror! It's time to take a look at that beautiful derriere! A square-shaped butt appears more athletic and defined, with straighter hips and a minimal curve. A round butt, on the other hand, has a full and rounded appearance, often resembling a peach. If your buttocks are narrower at the top and widen toward the hips, you likely have a V-shaped butt. Lastly, a heart-shaped butt is characterized by a fuller lower half, resembling an inverted heart shape.

 

Another method to determine your butt shape is by examining the placement of fat on your buttocks. If you notice that the majority of your fat is stored in the lower part of your butt, creating fullness and roundness, you likely have a lower curve shape. On the contrary, if your buttocks are fuller at the upper region and taper down towards the lower part, then you have an upper curve shape.

 

Understanding your butt shape can have a significant impact on how you perceive and enhance your silhouette. Embracing your unique figure is key to body positivity, as there is no one "ideal" butt shape. Remember, everybody is beautiful, and identifying your butt shape can simply be a fun exercise in self-discovery and self-acceptance.

 

How To Embrace Your Butt (Shape)

Loving your butt, especially your shape, is a form of self-love that can bring confidence. The first step toward embracing your butt shape is understanding that there is no right or wrong shape. Each person's behind is influenced by genetics, muscle distribution, and body composition. Whether you have a round, square, heart-shaped, or pear-shaped booty, the key is to appreciate the natural contours of your body. Instead of comparing yourself to others or trying to achieve someone else's ideal shape, focus on enhancing your own assets.

 

Another important aspect of embracing your butt shape is taking care of your body through a healthy lifestyle. Regular exercise, specifically targeting the gluteal muscles, can help you define and tone your backside. Squats, lunges, and hip thrusts are effective exercises that can uplift and strengthen your buttocks. Remember, the goal is not to change your shape, but rather to enhance your natural curves. Below you'll find different ways to embrace the butt you have!

 

1. Underwear Can Flatter Your Shape

Picking the right underwear is a wonderful way to flatter your shape and boost your confidence! For smaller, flat butts look to thongs to give your booty shape. For those with a round butt shape, look for underwear that provides adequate coverage and lift to keep the bottom looking perky and shapely. High-cut bikinis, boyshorts, or cheeky styles can work wonders in providing both support and accentuation. On the other hand, those with a square butt shape may want to focus on creating curves and adding dimension.

 

2. Your Natural Shape Is Beautiful

Once you've answered the question, "What shape is my butt?" think of your natural shape to embrace it. Embracing your natural shape is the best way to be confident in your own skin. Realizing everybody's body is different and accepting your features for what they are is the best way to love yourself. If you want to use exercises to change your butt shape you can, but true acceptance is the key to confidence in your booty shape.

 

3. Exercise Your Glutes

While genetics plays a huge role in your booty, there are exercises you can do to guarantee a stronger backside. The right exercises can work for the different muscle groups in your buttocks to give you lift as well as strength. Exercising your glutes is not only good for aesthetics but can also help your health by reducing lower back and knee pain. One of the best exercises you can do for your backside is squats. As one of the most common exercises, squats can easily be incorporated into any workout routine. Another great glute exercise is hip thrusts. This exercise can be done with or without weights, offering a wonderful workout for your butt. If you're looking for a good butt exercise that's the best for a better range of motion while targeting your glutes, try leg kickbacks. Leg kickbacks are a great low-impact exercise that offers numerous benefits.

 

4. Posture Goes A Long Way

Butt-building exercises are not only good for your booty and back, but can help with your posture. Having a good posture is more than just looking great, but can also boost confidence and make you feel amazing. Different exercises can not only increase your butt strength but can also improve your posture. Lunges are a great option for helping you gain better posture and can give your glutes a workout.

 

All Butt Shapes Are Beautiful

So, what shape is my butt? A beautiful one! All butt shapes are beautiful! No matter what shape your butt is there are different underwear and clothing types that can enhance your features making you feel confident in your own skin.
