The Anything But Basic Brief — reimagined for even more comfort.
This new and improved high-waisted style offers moderate absorbency (15mL) and is made from luxury deadstock fabric, giving new life to surplus materials from high-end brands. It’s softer than ever, with no elastics that dig in, a lower leg line for a smoother fit, and fuller coverage across the bottom. The waistband now sits comfortably around the belly button for extra support.
We’ve also extended the size range up to 5XL and adjusted the fit so sizing is now true to size.
Every tweak in this design came directly from our community’s feedback — thoughtful, considered comfort made just for you.
