I love the chance to try new things when it comes to underwear and this pair was unlike any of the briefs I own. Taking them out of the package, the first thing I noticed was that they are VERY light and thin. The color (Mint) was great, as well. After my first (and positive) experience with BA last week, I was ready for round two. BodyAware furnished this pair for review.
I wore these under my jeans to work and they disappeared the moment I put them on! The material (90% polyamide, 10% elastane) weighed almost nothing. The fact that there are very thin seams around the waist and legs made them, as the name would suggest, invisible. I happen to think brieflines are sexy but if you want a pair that won’t show under your clothes, these are definitely for you. I thought the cut was a bit “granny” and would have preferred a smaller, sexier bikini cut. I’m deficient in the butt department so someone a bit bigger might fill these out better. They were comfortable, stayed in place all day and I really forgot I was wearing anything at all. They would’t be my pick for a really active day. Because of the paper-thin fabric not being as supportive as a cotton blend or spandex/lycra type material. Great for lounging around the house or wearing to bed.
Sizing seems right but since the cut is a bit large, you should definitely size down if you on the lower end of the scale. These were a medium (31-33) and I could have probably fit into a small being a 31-32.
Great color selection is something I love about BodyAware. Everything from white to navy to orange and purple – there’s something for everyone!
I liked this pair well enough and will wear them again. Sspecially when it’s hot out and I don’t want a thick layer of cotton under my clothes. The style is a bit feminine, but that’s a lot of BA’s underwear so if it isn’t your thing. You probably wouldn’t be trying these anyway. They retail for $18.80 on the BodyAware website.
