The rise of underwear describes how high the waistband sits on your body. It changes both how the underwear feels and how much coverage it provides.
Low-rise boxer briefs
Low-rise styles sit below the natural waist. They can work well under low-rise pants, but they provide the least coverage through the stomach and back.
Mid-rise boxer briefs
Mid-rise underwear sits higher and is common for everyday wear. It offers more coverage than low-rise styles while still sitting below the natural waist on many people.
High-rise boxer briefs
High-rise boxer briefs extend farther up the waist and back. For people who bend, lift, squat, drive or work in positions where clothing shifts, that extra rise can provide more consistent coverage.
Which rise should you choose?
If your priority is a lower-profile waistband under low-rise pants, low or mid rise may suit you. If your priority is maximum coverage and keeping the rear waistband higher during movement, high rise is the better place to start.
