Why do I always get wedgies… especially when I have hips?
Why do I always get wedgies… especially when I have hips?
If you’ve ever felt like your underwear fits your waist but rides up at the back the second you start moving, you’re not imagining it. This is one of the most common problems for women with pear-shaped or curvier bodies—and it’s rarely explained properly.
A lot of women end up searching things like:
- why does my underwear keep riding up
- how to stop wedgies in underwear
- underwear for pear shaped body
- underwear too tight on hips but loose on waist
- best underwear for bigger hips
- why underwear doesn’t fit properly women
And the answers are usually… unhelpful.
You’ll hear:
“just size up”
“try a thong”
“wear seamless”
But none of those actually solve the real issue.
Because the problem isn’t just sizing—it’s proportion and design.
If you have hips, your body shape means:
- what fits your waist can be too tight across your hips
- what fits your hips can be too loose at the waist
- certain cuts naturally ride up as you move
- elastic placement can pull fabric into the wrong areas
So you end up stuck in this loop:
tight → uncomfortable
size up → slipping down
still riding up anyway
And then you just… deal with it.
This video breaks down:
- why underwear rides up (especially on pear-shaped bodies)
- why sizing up doesn’t actually fix wedgies
- how different styles behave on hips vs waist
- why some underwear feels fine standing still but fails when you move
- what actually makes underwear stay in place
Because the goal isn’t tighter or looser.
It’s finding something that:
- sits properly across both hips and waist
- doesn’t dig in
- doesn’t ride up
- doesn’t require constant adjusting
- and still feels comfortable all day
If you’ve ever felt like underwear is always slightly wrong…
this is that conversation.
