Generally, I like to dress for how I feel. Bright colors tend to inch their way to the front of my closet when I’m feeling bubbly and bold, while neutral shades and oversized-everything remain go-tos when I’m seeking low-key comfort — which, honestly, is most of the time.
There’s also the concept of dressing for how you want to feel — the power of a daring neckline or eye-catching print has the power to transform an otherwise dreary day.
The same logic applies to what you’re wearing underneath your clothes — and what lies beneath might tell a whole different story. A loungy ensemble, for instance, might tell the story of someone who is chill and relaxed, when underneath is a carnival of lacy lingerie.
When it comes to intimates, you’re at liberty to make up the rules. And, if you’re going to dress for your mood, why not start with the very first thing you put on?
To get you feeling inspired, we’re matching underwear to their imagined moods.
Mood: Sexy, But in an Everyday Kind of Way
So, you’re feeling kind of cute — but, also, it’s a Tuesday and you’ve got three zoom calls and a load of laundry to do. We dare you to bare a little extra leg under that midi skirt, courtesy of Leakproof French Cut undies. No one will be the wiser (unless you want them to be), but you’ll know you have legs for days thanks to this new silhouette’s mid-rise waist and higher cut leg.
Mood: Sultry Minx
For days when you have the time and space to fully luxuriate in those feelings of sexiness, there’s lace. And if a fear of leaks has ever deterred you from donning your favorite pair of undies, there’s the Lace Leakproof High Rise. The soft, stretchy fabric and barely-there built-in liner are designed to feel snug but relaxed — this isn’t your grandmother’s lace.
Mood: Day 3 Period Woes
You’re mid-way through your period and the cramps are real. Fret not, it’s nothing a heating pad, stellar snacks, and a pair of Leakproof Boyshorts can’t mend. These period undies are a soothing reminder that you can find comfort even on days when your mood is less than optimal.
Mood: Kitchen Dance Party
The mood, in short, is buoyant and vivacious — perhaps even primed for a night out on the town or quiet-turned-rowdy night in. It’s an occasion that calls for fun intimates, with a dash of sexiness. We can’t be sure, after all, where the night will take us. And when Shadow Mesh Leakproof enters the chat, you might find your confidence soars to new heights.
Mood: Netflix Binge
Low energy, loungy days call for worry-free period protection and intimates that were designed for languid movie marathons. Comfy and relaxed, the Luxe Modal Leakproof Boxer Brief is made from cloud-soft modal fabric with shadow-sheer waistband detailing. Its maximum coverage also means pants are entirely optional.
Mood: A Little Cheeky
If you’re feeling a little cheeky, both literally and figuratively, slide on a Shadow Mesh Leakproof Thong. Lean into that sassy energy — shoot your barista a wink, flip your hair, and strut your stuff knowing that period and bladder leaks won’t kill your vibe.
Mood: Period Cramp-Induced Fatigue
There’s no period-sleep better than 12 luscious hours of rest without having to change a tampon or, better yet, waking up to stains in your satin sheets. If you’re dreaming of better sleep without leaks, the Super Leakproof Dream Short boasts an extra long, built-in liner.
Mood: It’s 100 Degrees Out and Your A/C Isn’t Working
The city feels like the surface of the sun and the friction of your thighs rubbing together is enough to make you stand by the open freezer. Say less, we’ve got you covered. Though not technically underwear, the Papaya Thigh Saver lives up to its name. And since the less layers the better, the built-in gusset also means you can go commando.
