Clothes are an obvious way to express yourself. But what about your underwear? I think your underwear choice actually says more about who you are than the rest of your outfit.


It’s fun to think about what your underwear says about you. Maybe it expresses your love of the planet through choosing sustainable underwear . Or shows your commitment to your significant other with matching underwear for couples .


I think the ultimate test of what your undies say about you comes down to the type of panties or men’s underwear types you choose in the morning. If you're not skilled in the art of underwear-reading yet, read below for a full rundown of what your underwear says about you!

Now you can finally figure out exactly what your undies are saying about you! 

WHAT YOUR UNDIES SAY ABOUT YOU: WOMEN’S

What does your underwear say about you? A lot, it turns out! Find out your underwear personality below.

THE CONFIDENT ACTIVIST

Whether it’s leading the local protest for fair wages, petitioning brands to embrace slow fashion , or volunteering at the local shelter, you, The Confident Activist, don’t have time for wedgies or waistbands that roll down. That’s why we can find you in a pair of hipster panties.


A no-fuss style, the humble hipster panty will keep you comfortable, supported, and wedgie-free as you make your mark! And you don’t have to sacrifice your values for a comfy pair of underwear if you wear a pair made of sustainable fabrics like hemp. We salute you (and your undies)! 

THE COOL ADVENTURE SEEKER

When you finally slow down to catch your breath between adventures, you, our Cool Adventure Seeker, probably say comfort is your number one priority. How could you focus on planning your next trip if you have to worry about wedgies? That’s why you’re always rocking a pair of bikini underwear.


It’s subtle, understated, and oh-so comfy! Plus, they're the perfect travel underwear . If you grab a pair made of hemp fabric , they’ll be breathable and antibacterial, which is super important when you’re spending one day trekking through the mountains and the next paddling down rivers! 

THE SPIRITUAL GURU

The Spiritual Guru spends hours looking internally, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t care about how she looks externally! If that sounds like you, thong underwear is the perfect choice for you. It is the best underwear to wear with leggings and yoga pants for a reason!


You don’t have time to worry about panty lines or underwear bunching up while you’re trying to find peace and tranquillity! But you do have time to worry about nasty infections downstairs, which is why you should opt for antibacterial underwear made from hemp. Otherwise, a thong can act as a highway between your butt bacteria and your bacteria-loving vulva! 

THE FEARLESS LEADER

The Fearless Leader blazes through life, taking no prisoners. From shattering glass ceilings to infiltrating the good ol’ boys club, she is a force to be reckoned with. But, a leader that fearless deserves major support, so she sticks with boy shorts underwear.


They’re anti-chafing underwear , so you’ll be protected when you’re running between all of your responsibilities. Remember, you can only take care of others well if you’re taking care of yourself. So treat yourself to a new pair of undies that will be there for you!

THE LOW MAINTENANCE QUEEN

Do your friends describe you as “go with the flow”? Is your skin-care routine just 1 step long? Would you rather spend five more minutes in bed, than getting ready? Then you, my dear low maintenance queen, are a certified granny panty, aka high waisted underwear, lover!


Let’s be real: it’s comfy, supportive, and will never roll down your stomach when bending over! Who needs to spend all day pulling their undies up and down and all around? Not you! So show off those granny panties with pride!

But don’t forget about how you can show some self-love too! With trunks underwear, you’ll be comfy, supported, and wedgie-free.


At least in my humble opinion, there’s nothing more attractive than a guy that cares about the planet. So grab some pair of underwear made from eco-friendly fabrics like hemp or organic cotton to amp up your romance!

THE ADRENALINE JUNKY

Life is a highway, and you’re gonna speed down it all night long. It’s hard to find clothing that can keep up with you on all of your adventures, Mr. Adrenaline Junky. That’s why you need flexible, breezy mens boxers that move with you!


You’re spontaneous and easygoing, which is great, until laundry day that is. So make sure you learn how to hand wash underwear , so you can keep your boxers clean and smelling fresh in the hostel sink. 

THE HUMBLE HUNK

You probably just saved a kitten from a tree in a burning building during a hurricane. And I love that for you, my Humble Hunk, especially because you likely don’t even take credit for your heroic actions. Even though you might not want to show off your achievements, there is one thing you should show off: that body of yours in a pair of mens briefs!


Not only are men briefs back in style , they’re back in a big way! For every shape and size, briefs show off your sexiness in a subtle way. Don’t be shy!

THE INDECISIVE DIPLOMAT

The Goldilocks of your friend group, you just want to keep things smooth and drama-free. You’re all about comfort and practicality, which is why mens boxer briefs are the only style of men’s underwear for you.

BONUS: WHAT YOUR BRA SAYS ABOUT YOU

For people that wear bras, which style you choose says a lot about you. First of all, if you prefer underwire bras, I need to know what’s going on in your head because ouch. For all others, here’s what your bra says about you!

THE FREE-SPIRITED FASHIONISTA

Your rejection of underwire is inspiring. But you’re not really into the lack of support that comes with going braless . So what’s a free-spirited, body-positive fashionista supposed to wear? A triangle bralette.


Without underwire, padding, or unnatural breast shapes to get in your way, you can show off your style, personality, and shape in a triangle bralette. Plus, they’re super sexy and comfortable, a win-win!

THE ECO-FRIENDLY ATHLETE

If you spend a lot of time exercising in the great outdoors, you probably want to protect it. But it’s also important to have proper support and boob sweat -wicking abilities in your sports bras. That’s why a racerback bralette made of hemp is the ideal bra for you!


It'll hug your curves as you race down the trail, but won’t have you feeling swampy. Plus, the hemp fabric is better for the environment than most activewear fabrics like polyester.
