I should have read more reviews on these before purchasing. The fit is just like those tighty-whitey Hanes that I haven't worn since my mother bought my underwear. These are absolutely NOT hip briefs. I have many pair from different companies and these aren't it. If you like old style Hanes or Fruit of the Loom, you may like these--but I'll stick to low rise underwear that doesn't come up so high that it shows over my belt line. These went straight into the garbage
