Women's Underwear

Find your style

A pair can feel fine when you first put it on and become deeply annoying by the time you sit down for coffee. Nala’s women’s undies range covers high waisted full briefs, midis, gees and tuck-friendly cuts, so the useful question is where you want the waistband to sit and how much coverage feels right. 

Fabrics, decoded

Bio Butter, Flossy Mesh and Better Than Cotton each feel different against the skin. Many current Nala briefs and gees also include a breathable cotton gusset, but composition varies by product, so check the individual product page before choosing. 

A full year of R&D went into the Better Than Cotton modal story. Softer, more breathable, and genuinely better than the cotton undies you grew up with.

Find your undies size

Nala underwear runs from XXS to 6XL, equivalent to AU sizes 6 to 26, although availability varies by style and colour. The range includes full-coverage briefs, gees and tuck-friendly cuts designed and fit-tested across different bodies.

To find your size, use a soft measuring tape over bare skin or thin clothing. Measure around the fullest part of your hips and bum first, keeping the tape level without pulling it tight. Then measure your natural waist as a secondary check.

For measurements and style-specific advice, head to the underwear sizing guide.

FAQs

What's the most comfortable style of women's underwear?

Honest answer: it depends on your day. For everyday wear with zero ride-up, our high waisted briefs are the quiet achievers. Full coverage, a soft waistband that doesn't dig, cotton-feel gusset. Want a lower rise? Midis sit just below the belly button. And comfy and sexy aren't opposites: our gees prove it. The most comfortable style is the one you forget you're wearing.

Which underwear fabric is the most breathable?

Flossy Mesh underwear has a light, open construction, while Better Than Cotton modal feels soft and breathable against the skin. Bio Butter offers a smoother, closer fit. Many Nala styles also include a breathable cotton gusset, although composition varies by product. 

How often should you replace your underwear?

Ignore the TikTok rule that says to bin your undies every 6 to 9 months. Gynaecologist Dr Jen Gunter, author of The Vagina Bible, says it's "simply not the case" that older undies become an infection risk, as long as you wash them properly. Replace undies when the elastic slackens, the fabric thins, or they stop feeling good. Function over schedule.

High waisted vs midi, what's the difference?

High waisted sits above your belly button with full coverage and gentle tummy support. Midi sits just below, with medium rise and a smoother line under fitted clothes. High waist for period days and high-rise pants. Midi for everyday under jeans and dresses.

How do I find my underwear size?

Measure the fullest part of your hips and bum with a soft tape, then use your natural waist as a secondary check. Match both measurements to Nala’s current underwear size chart. If you fall between sizes, check the guidance for your chosen cut because high-waisted, mesh and gee styles can fit differently.

How should I wash my undies?

Cold wash in a lingerie bag, line dry out of direct sun. Skip the fabric softener: it coats the fibres and kills stretch, so your elastic lasts longer without it.
