What Does Your Favorite Underwear Style Reveal About Your Personality?

You can tell a lot about someone from their go-to sneakers (are they the sporty runner type or more into vintage high-tops?) or even their workday aesthetic (strictly business casual or channeling office siren?). But what’s less obvious—yet equally telling—is what’s hiding beneath.

If we were to take a peek into your top drawer, what would we find? Is it wireless bras that prioritize comfort, or lacy layers meant to make a statement? Are you a fan of cheeky thongs or the elegance of French cut underwear? While these pieces are often kept out of sight, they actually reveal more about your personality than you might think.

At Knix HQ, we spend a lot of time thinking about underwear—maybe more than is socially acceptable. But hey, when you’re in the business of period-proof and feel-good intimates, it’s practically second nature. Ask anyone on our team about their go-to period underwear style, and you'll get an impassioned answer, likely followed by a detailed rationale.

So, naturally, we got curious. What if we assigned personas to our favorite underwear styles? What would they be like? Fun, daring, sophisticated—just like their wearers.

If you've ever wondered what your favorite underwear style says about you, we have answers. 

High Waisted Underwear: CEO of Cozy

You’re the friend who always brings a blanket to the party. High-waisted underwear? It’s not just a choice—it’s a lifestyle. You’ve perfected the art of combining “snatched” with “snuggly,” and you definitely own at least three oversized sweaters.

You’re all about that retro throwback vibe, but you’re anything but predictable. You know how to turn heads with a killer red lip and can break hearts from the comfort of your high-rise jeans. You live for Sunday mornings in bed, and yes, you have a skincare routine that involves at least seven steps.

Thong: The Minimalist Maverick

Thongs are for those who like to keep things streamlined—no frills, just function. You’re a minimalist who knows that sometimes, less is definitely more. Plus, there’s nothing like the satisfaction of a perfect, line-free silhouette.

You’re the person who can’t stand clutter, and your inbox is always at zero. Curated essentials are what you’re after. And yes, your friends totally tease you for your capsule wardrobe—but secretly, they wish they could pull it off. 

French Cut Underwear: Paris in Your Pocket

Knix Leakproof Logo Rib Modal French Cut absorbs about 1 regular tampon worth of liquid display: full

Maybe you’ve never even been to Paris, but you still exude the understated refinement of French girl style. French cut underwear is your je ne sais quoi—just enough leg for a little drama, with a high cut that screams sophistication. 

You appreciate the finer things in life: croissants, well-lit selfies, and high-quality staples. People assume you’re put together, but they don’t see the mess of half-read novels on your nightstand. Your life motto? “I woke up like this,” even if you spent 30 minutes perfecting that effortless look.

High Waisted Thong: Business in the Front, Party in the Back

Knix Light Leakproof No-Show High Rise Thong absorbs about 1 regular tampon worth of liquid display: full

For you, life’s all about striking the perfect balance. You want the structure and coverage of high-waisted underwear, but you’re not ready to sacrifice the barely-there confidence of a thong. It’s like having your cake and eating it too, which is basically your life philosophy. 

You’re that person who works from home in sweatpants but transitions into chic mode the moment the Zoom call turns to cocktails. People think you’re all practicality, but the truth is, you know when and where to turn on the charm.

Boyshort Underwear: Comfy, Cool, and Unbothered

Knix Super Leakproof No-Show Boyshort absorbs about 3.5 super tampons worth of liquid display: full

Whether it’s lounging in an oversized sweater or running errands in sneakers, you’re the type who looks polished without the fuss. Boyshorts are your default because, frankly, you’ve got better things to do than deal with wedgies. You’re all about comfort, but that doesn’t mean you don’t care about style—you just prefer it to feel easy-breezy.

You probably know the best local coffee shop, and yes, you have an opinion on which oat milk is superior. People say you’re down-to-earth, but that’s just because they haven’t seen you win a board game—your competitive side is low-key terrifying.

Bikini Cut Underwear: The Easygoing Classic

Knix Light Leakproof No-Show Bikini absorbs about 1 regular tampon worth of liquid display: full

You’re the type who can go from morning yoga to spontaneous beach day without missing a beat—and you need underwear that can keep up. Bikini cut is all about balance: it’s equal parts practical and playful, just like you. 

You know how to keep things simple without being boring, and your low-key vibe makes you the go-to person for laid-back plans. Your wardrobe’s full of easy pieces that make it look like you’ve mastered the art of effortless—because, let’s be honest, you have.

Cheeky Cut: Just the Right Amount of Mischief

Knix Light Leakproof No-Show Cheeky absorbs about 1 regular tampon worth of liquid display: full

There’s something delightfully sneaky about a cheeky cut, and you embody that energy. You’re the person who can pull off a wink without it feeling cheesy, or leave just enough of a pause after a joke to make everyone wonder if you were serious. 

Your underwear might offer a little more coverage than a thong, but you’re not fooling anyone—you love to keep people guessing. You’ve got a sense of humor, a little bit of mystery, and an uncanny ability to charm your way out of (or into) anything.
