The Comfiest Canadian Underwear, According To Our Editors

With so many cuts, fabrics and details to consider—do they wash well? Do they stay put?—finding undies that deserve a spot in your drawers takes a lot of trial and error. But don't worry—we've got you covered. After weeks of testing and comparing notes, our team got to the bottom of where to find the comfiest Canadian undies.

Best underwear overall

Hûha Hipster Mineral Undies, $28

These ultra-soft, breathable briefs feature a wider-than-average seamless gusset for extra comfort and are made from Tencel spun with antimicrobial zinc oxide to better manage moisture and odours.

Best leakproof period underwear

Knix Light Leakproof No-Show French Cut, $25

We’re longtime fans of the Toronto-based brand’s leakproof collection, which come in different styles and absorption levels, as well as stylish seasonal colours and designs. The French cut provides the perfect amount of coverage, while the light absorption liner can handle low-flow days without adding bulk. For heavier periods, opt for moderate or heavy absorbency.

Best full-coverage underwear

Free Label Kimmie Undie, $48

Sewn in Vancouver from a thick, slightly compressive blend of bamboo and spandex knit and dyed in Toronto, this French cut boasts great butt and waist coverage, as well as a breathable cotton gusset.

Best underwear for a flattering fit

Blush The Micro Lace Trim Hipster, $15

Available in a wide variety of pretty colours and patterns, this budget-friendly option wowed our editors, who loved the cheeky fit and lightweight fabric.

Best no-budge underwear

La Vie En Rose Microfiber Sleek Back High-Waist Bikini, $25

The silky feel and substantial coverage of this bikini style was a hit among Team Chats, as were the silicone bands around the leg openings and waistband that keep it in place all day long.
