What lingerie works for wide hips?
A high leg or a wider brief can feel better than a piece that cuts across the hip.
Measure first, then choose the shape. Between sizes, take the larger.
Match the piece to the outfit, the light and how long you will wear it.
Plain packaging, tracked delivery and 14-day returns with the seal intact.
If a bodysuit or brief cuts into the hip, the size or the leg shape is wrong. Lace Index lists the sizes held on each product page; start with your hip measurement, then choose the rise and leg opening.
01
Start with the shape
A high-leg brief gives more room at the hip; a lower leg line can cut in. For bodysuits, check the hip and torso measurements together. A soft mesh or stretch lace is more forgiving than a rigid panel.
02
Fit and feel
If you are between sizes, take the larger and check the leg opening. Do not size down to make the waist tighter; a piece that cuts at the hip will not be comfortable.
03
Before you order
Check the product page for the exact sizes and the rise where listed. If you are unsure, send your waist and hip measurements and we will compare them with the stock.

Questions
Quick answers.
What lingerie works for wide hips?
Why do bodysuits cut into my hips?+
The leg opening is too small or the size is too low. Try a larger size or a higher-leg shape.
Are high-leg briefs more comfortable?+
They can be, if the leg opening follows the hip rather than cutting across it.
Should I size up for wide hips?+
If the hip measurement is between sizes, yes. Check the waist as well so the piece does not become loose.
Can I return a piece that cuts in?+
Yes, if it is unworn and the hygiene seal is intact. Try it on before removing anything.
