High-waist briefs, or the high-waist thong, are briefs that are distinguished by their high waistband. The belly is either partially or completely covered. In this case, wide-cut side parts produce a straight leg cut-out. As a result, the waist appears narrower. In the butt area, they are usually cut like briefs or a thong. High-waist briefs convince by their shapeware features, which reduce visibility of smaller problem zones, make the waist appear narrower and the silhouette slimmer.
