Product Information
Full details
This Wolford High Waist Brief in Grey (UK 16) is designed for adult women seeking a smooth, invisible look under clothing. Its key benefit is the seamless fabric and bonded edges that provide a 'second skin' fit, preventing visible panty lines and offering ultimate coverage with a high-rise waistband for comfortable support. A potential caveat is that the bonded edges, while effective, may require careful handling to maintain their integrity over time.

FAQs
What makes this brief 'seamless'?
The brief uses a special seamless fabric technology and bonded edges instead of traditional stitching. This creates a smooth transition to the skin, making it virtually invisible under clothing.
Is this considered shapewear?
While it offers a smoothing effect due to its construction and high-rise waist, it is primarily designed as a comfortable, invisible brief rather than intensive shapewear. It provides coverage and smoothness without significant compression.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart. For Wolford, it's often recommended to measure your waist and hips and compare them to the provided measurements for the UK 16 size.
Can I wear this with very tight skirts or pants?
Yes, this brief is specifically designed for that purpose. The seamless fabric and bonded edges ensure no panty lines will be visible, making it ideal for tight-fitting garments.
What is the material composition?
The brief is made from a blend of 85% Polyamide and 15% Elastane, providing a comfortable, stretchy, and durable feel.
How should I care for the bonded edges?
To preserve the bonded edges, it's best to wash on a cold, gentle cycle or hand wash. Avoid high heat in washing or drying, and do not iron them.
Does the high-rise waistband offer support?
The high-rise waistband is designed to sit comfortably at the natural waist, offering a secure and supportive feel without being restrictive.
Troubleshooting
Visible lines despite 'seamless' design
Ensure the brief is the correct size and pulled up smoothly. Check that the bonded edges are lying flat against the skin. Opt for a size up if current size feels restrictive.
Discomfort from the waistband
Verify you have selected the correct size. The high-rise waistband is designed for comfort, but an incorrect size can cause pressure.
Fabric feels less smooth after washing
Follow the care instructions precisely, especially regarding washing temperature and drying methods. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat.
