The high waist cut isn’t going anywhere, and for good reason. Our high waist underwear hugs in the right places and stays put through the day. They give you that comfy, held-together feel with soft support and a bit more coverage where it counts. Match them with your go-to bralette or bra for a set that works with your wardrobe. Clean lines meet soft finishes in fits that just make sense. This is the kind of underwear you reach for without thinking twice.
High waist, high rotation made for everyday wear
Good underwear isn’t always easy to find, but once you find the right fit, there’s no going back. That’s what our high waist underwear is made for: comfort that flatters and earns its spot in your daily line-up.
Here’s why these pairs stay in rotation:
- Support where it matters. They sit higher on the waist for a secure fit with added tummy coverage, so everything feels held without digging or discomfort.
- Shapes up and stays put. Follows your curves without digging in. High-cut leg, clean finish, and made to work with high-rise everything.
- Soft where it counts, solid where it matters. The kind of fabric that feels dreamy on and still snaps back after every wash. No sagging or stretching.
The way you wear high waist, covered
When you want coverage that still looks good on, high waist underwear strikes the perfect balance. These sit higher on the waist and hug in without feeling restrictive.

Why our high waist underwear feels better on
At Eleven Intimates, we believe a great fit doesn’t start when you wear it, it starts with how it’s made. We cut our high waist underwear from soft fabrics that don’t dig, pinch or twist up halfway through the day. Fine lace trims are placed to sit flat and follow your shape without adding bulk. We also use smooth microfibre in styles where you want that barely-there feel. Every stitch is sewn with purpose, so nothing tugs where it shouldn’t.
Getting the fit right up top and through the waist
We’ve designed our high waist underwear to sit flat and stay put. They move with you without any pinching or slipping halfway through the day. While we’ve nailed the design, getting your size right is what makes it all work. The rise hits where it should and the waistband won’t fold, gape or dig when the fit’s spot on.
Here’s what to check:
- Waist: Measure the narrowest part of your torso, as this is where the waistband will sit. An accurate measurement helps keep the fit firm without any uncomfortable squeezing.
- Hips: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your hips. This helps the fabric hug properly through the lower half without shifting or riding up.
- Rise: Think about where you want the waist to hit. Our styles are cut to sit high, but measuring from your crotch up to your waistline gives you a sense of how each piece will sit on your body.

How to care for your high-waist pairs
Treat your high waist underwear right and they’ll stay looking good, wash after wash. Keep yours looking and feeling good with these tips:
- Cold wash is best
Stick to cold water to help protect the fabric and stop the elastic from wearing out too fast. - Use a mild detergent
Harsh chemicals like bleach can wear down fibres quickly. A gentle wash keeps the fabric feeling smoother and looking new. - Skip the tumble dryer
Air drying helps maintain the shape and stops the waistband from warping or curling. - Wash them in a bag
Throwing them straight in with everything else? A Wash bag adds a layer of protection and cuts down on snags or stretching.
High waist, low effort: Outfit ideas that just work
Your outfit starts with your first layer and the pieces you pick can make the rest fall into place. Here’s how to make your high waist underwear one of your most-worn staples:
- Under anything high-waisted - Jeans, trousers, skirts. If it sits high, these are made to go with it.
- With cropped knits or tees - You get the coverage through the middle without bulky lines or adjusting all day.
- Worn beneath bodycon dresses - Smooths where it counts and stays in place, so you don’t have to keep adjusting.
- As your off-duty go-to - Throw on a hoodie and joggers, and you’ve still got a flattering fit underneath, easy.
- Layered with sheer or open-knit pieces - Adds a little intention to your look without trying too hard.
At Eleven Intimates, we don’t just make high waist underwear that looks good, we make the kind you’ll actually want to wear on repeat.
