The breathable fabric kept me cool in 100-degree heat.
I’ve always been someone who’s super particular about their clothes. And with the weather here in Maryland hitting record-breaking highs last week, I’m even more picky about the layers I wear to brave the 100-plus-degree heatwaves. I’m now opting for breezier pieces that don’t cling, like T-shirt dresses and linen pants. I also opt for comfortable and breathable undergarments. I’ve started wearing T-shirt bras with lightweight and sweat-wicking cups and Maidenform’s Boyshort Panties to keep dry and wedgie-free down there.
The underwear comes in packs of three, and sizes range from S to XXL. They feature a full-coverage boy shorts fit that fully covers my bum, lace trimmings along the waist and leg openings, and are made from a super-soft and flexible polyester-spandex blend.

The most-reached-for underwear in my drawers so far this summer are boyshort panties—more specifically, Maidenform’s version of the full-coverage style. Since the cut comes down to my thigh, I’m less prone to getting wedgies like cheekier styles. They aren’t bulky under fitted clothing and are super lightweight, baby-soft, and breathable. On our hottest 100-plus days, I stay fresh and dry down there—honestly, I forget I have them on. I also love that the lace isn’t scratchy like other styles I’ve owned.
They’re incredibly durable and have held up well after multiple washes and tumbles in the dryer—even without being in an intimates bag. The fabric has tons of stretch and moves with your body, which allows me to get a snug but comfortable fit despite my fluctuating weight. There’s no constraint or digging around the leg holes, which means I have maximum mobility even on my gym days. I also don’t have issues with the waistband rolling or needing constant adjustment, so I get a smooth finish. The underwear hasn’t warped or stretched out of shape, so every wear feels like the first time.
