It would have been helpful if the product description used the phrase "full rise", because it's clearly printed on the packaging but you wouldn't know it from the seller's write-up or from zooming in on the pictures. Full rise are the type that, depending on your body type, might go above your belt line. You might not want to be wearing them with a shirt that could come easily untucked. Still, they don't rise as high as some full rise brands I have worn, and they are comfortable and fit well below the belt.
