Choosing Tucking Underwear That’s Right for You
1. Silhouette & Style
Your first choice will start with a style decision: do you prefer a thong or brief style.
For thongs, we offer three styles: Comfort, Max Smooth or Slimming. Thong designs offer minimal coverage and reduce lines making them a good choice for very body contouring or thin fabric outfits.
- Comfort Smooth Tucking Thong: For everyday wear with strong hold and smoothing with comfort as the priority.
- Comfort Slingshot Tucking Thong: For everyday wear but with a streamlined profile and less fabric.
- Max Smooth Slingshot Tucking Thong: For maximum smoothing with the least amount of fabric, with flatness as the priority.
- Slimming High Waist Tucking Thong: Based on a dancer’s belt design, the strong elastic band and fabric helps to keep everything in place.

Briefer designs offer comfort, coverage and confidence and can be a more versatile tucking product depending on your needs. Briefer styles can also be more forgiving whether you choose to fully tuck or not. To reduce panty lines, our patented Comfort Stretch line offers a nearly seamless look due to its minimal binding and seamless construction. This ensures a smooth, clean finish while still providing effective compression and a comfortable fit
- Comfort Stretch Tucking Brief: Conforms to a wide variety of body types due to its seamless stretch knit fabric offering patented hold and flatness. Our most versatile design that offers next generation tucking.
- Max Smooth Everyday Tucking Briefer: A briefer design that is our original brief design with satin smoothing panels with all day wear comfort and hold.
- Max Smooth Ultra Fit Tucking Briefer: Upgraded premium fabrics take our Everyday Briefer to a super comfortable and soft level.
- EF Active Tucking Brief: Our performance fabric tucking brief that offers unparalleled hold while performing activity or exercise.
2. Level of Compression

Next, the level of compression for your personal fit. Over the years, we’ve learned that everyone has different preferences and tolerances when it comes to compression. That’s why we’ve worked hard to design styles that provide an ultra-smooth outline while still feeling comfortable all day long. You will see some styles that are marked Comfort Smooth and these styles keep you smooth while holding your tuck, but offer more comfortable compression.
Our Max Smooth designs will give you a very smooth outline – and are slightly more compressive – but are engineered to give you comfort and flexibility in movement. By following the size chart for each style, you can achieve the exact fit you need for a smooth look without sacrificing comfort. Our Comfort Stretch line is unique in that it allows you to wear multiple sizes to achieve a smoother effect, depending on whether you prefer a bit more or a bit less compression.
3. Body Shape
We design our tucking panties to enhance and complement the appearance of virtually any body type. Whether you are larger in the middle, narrow in the hips or more curvy all around, our styles are designed to fit with minimal rolling at the waist and to stay securely in place, moving naturally with your body.
For those considering the High Waist Slimming Tucking Thong, this style is best for those who have less weight in the mid-section.
For those with curves, a thong style may be a better fit to accommodate augmented butts and hips. If you are not augmented or have more narrow hips, briefer styles are an easy choice to start. New to tucking? Briefer styles can be more accommodating, have more fabric and can be used with a variety of tuck styles. If you have a body type that needs stretch to accommodate curves or extra weight, the Comfort Stretch Tucking Brief is a great choice.
If you are concerned about panty lines, tucking thongs help decrease lines under tight fitting clothing however the tighter the clothing the tighter compression you'll want to consider. For example, moving from the Comfort Tucking Thong to a Max Smooth Slingshot Tucking Thong.
4. Activity Level
While all our styles are made for all-day wear, some are better suited for certain activities:
- For higher level activity, exercise or yoga the EF Active or Comfort Stretch collections are best suited. Both move with your body, keep you flat from the front and underneath, and hold your tuck comfortably.
- For everyday wear and longer-term use our Everyday Tucking Briefers and Comfort Stretch Tucking Brief designs provide the smoothest outline. If you prefer a Tucking Thong style, these styles offer less fabric but require a full tuck to maintain a fully flat front.

5. Your Style Preferences
An important consideration for clothing styles to many people is whether panty lines will show under clothing or how flat your appearance will be.
- For minimal panty lines under leggings or tighter skirts or dresses, we suggest our thong styles as well as our Comfort Stretch Tucking Brief line.
- For the smoothest appearance under jeans or heavier fabric pants, we suggest our Everyday Briefers, Ultra Fit line, or Comfort Stretch.
Finding Your Size in Tucking Underwear:
Thong Styles: Tucking thong styles are measured at the top of the hip bones where the band of the thong will “sit”. Take an accurate measurement using a soft tape measure or piece of string to find your size. Use the specific sizing chart of each style to find your size – some styles such as the Max Smooth Slingshot Tucking Thong may require you to size up.
Briefer Styles: Tucking Briefer designs require you to measure at the widest point of your hips, this is usually the mid-hip or around the widest part of your butt. Use a soft tape measure or piece of string. Because briefer styles use the sides as well as the back of the brief to offer compression, it’s important to take an accurate measurement.
Why Experience Matters in Tucking Underwear
Before En Femme, tucking options were limited to simple thong styles and tape. We were the first brand to introduce a briefer-style tucking panty, revolutionizing comfort and accessibility. Our commitment to engineering, innovation, and community feedback has allowed us to continuously improve, ensuring that everyone who wants to tuck can find their perfect fit.
Whether you're looking for all-day comfort, a seamless look under clothing, or the highest level of compression, En Femme has the perfect pair of tucking underwear for you.
