Ready to ditch your old bras for comfortable wireless, soft bras that are comfortable while still offering light to medium support? Same, that’s why we created three bra styles that changed the game, whether you prefer a traditional bra or a bralette. Ahead, find out the differences and features that make up Uwila Warrior’s three candidates for the most comfortable bra ever: The Braless, Soft Bra, and Cotton Bralette.
What they all have in common
All three of our bras are lightly supportive and comfortable, and have no underwire or itchy tags to bother you throughout the day. They also don’t have wires and are not sized by cup size, allowing for more flexibility in size for each one.
Soft Bra
Made with the same soft, lightweight fabric as our Happy Seams undies, the Soft Bra lives up to its name. Available in sizes XS-3XL, it’s also sweat-wicking and features removable cup inserts and adjustable straps (they convert to racerback!) so you can wear it how you like. The flash of gold on the straps adds extra fun if you let them show with your favorite tank.
Cotton Bralette
The Cotton Bralette is perfect for those days you want to feel like you’ve got nothing on at all. The ribbed cotton blend offers just the right amount of light support, and it features curved side seams and cups that provide subtle shaping. Plus adjustable straps allow you to find your perfect fit. The Cotton Bralette comes in sizes XS-L and three wearable neutral shades so you can wear it with just about any outfit.
The Braless
Made from a unique compressive ribbed fabric, The Braless has a unique longer length so it can be worn as both a bra or a crop top (we’re all about a wardrobe multitasker). You’ll love the sporty racerback, and how it comes in six cute colors—from bright Kale to classic Tap Shoe Black. The Braless comes in sizes XS-3XL and was recently featured on The TODAY Show as a bra innovation! (We know, we can’t get over it!)
The best news? You can’t go wrong with any of our soft and comfy bras. Your girls will thank you! Find the right one for you.
]]>Comfy, stretchy, and flexible, leggings are among the most-worn pants in our wardrobes. But one thing, in general, that leggings are not? Forgiving—especially when it comes to visible panty lines. Due to their body-hugging fit, they tend to show every little line. Not to mention, if you’re actually wearing them to exercise, you’ll want to factor moisture-wicking underwear into the equation. Ahead, we’re breaking down what to look for in sweat-wicking underwear, plus our best undies to wear with leggings.
First things first: The best seamless underwear for leggings should avoid showing VPL. Not only for a smooth look, but also because more bulk can actually be distracting during a workout—and no one needs that.
It should also be moisture-wicking underwear, and help keep you feeling dry as you work out. (Put another way: You’re looking for the best underwear for yeast infection protection, too.) Our go-to sweat-free underwear is made of moisture-wicking blends or 100% silk, which is naturally fast-drying.
The best style of underwear under leggings totally depends on your preference. One option is thongs, which are some of the best no-panty-line panties under any clothing, leggings included. But not all thongs are created equal, and certainly not all thongs fit under the category of moisture-wicking underwear for ladies. But you’re in the right place, because Uwila Warrior thong underwear is especially comfortable, and (bonus!) made to prevent wedgies.
Made with our lightweight nylon-blend fabric (and a cotton gusset for maximum hygiene), this thong is extra comfortable thanks to thermowelded side seams and removable tags.
Everything you love about the VIP Thong, but with a game-changing update. It features the same invisible, barely there fit and feel, but it’s created with CiCLO® fibers, which are designed to behave more like natural fibers when they end up in the environment.
If you prefer more coverage, our briefs are designed to be completely seamless under your leggings (and everything else). The first thing to decide on is your coverage; for instance, there’s a difference between hipster and bikini underwear (hipsters have more coverage, for the record), and others are higher-waisted. Once you’ve settled on that, here are some of our favorite workout underwear for sweating in and out of the gym.
When it comes to moisture-wicking undies, Happy Seams briefs are top tier. Made of a dreamy lightweight nylon-blend and with cotton gussets, they’re both the anti-VPL and anti-sweat underwear you’re looking for.
Invisible under leggings and better for the planet? Yes please. Our Better Briefs have the same seamless look and feel as our Happy Seams, but also feature CiCLO® technology, allowing them to behave more like natural fibers when they end up as pollutants in the environment, without compromising on durability.
Silk underwear may sound luxurious—and it is!—but it’s also some of the best underwear for sweat control. Why? Because silk naturally wicks away moisture, and also dries fast. Plus, the tagless design won’t bother you during your sweat sesh.

At Uwila Warrior, we’re constantly trying to solve problems with underwear. Visible panty lines? We don’t know them. Wedgies? Not with our undies. We strive to make every pair you wear more comfortable and functional—all while looking great.
Which brings us to one big problem we have been focused on: What happens to your undies when you throw them out and they go into landfills?
That’s why we’re introducing Better Briefs. This collection features the personalized, body-hugging comfort you love from our Happy Seams, with a revolutionary planet-friendly update.
This innovative new line of undies and matching camisoles is created with CiCLO® technology, a nature-based solution to help mitigate fugitive synthetic microfiber pollution caused by textiles. CiCLO® technology is applied to fibers at the start of the manufacturing process, allowing synthetic materials to break down naturally in end-of-life environments. In other words, your discarded undies will break down faster with less microfiber waste. Pretty cool, right?
Do Better Briefs look or feel different?
No! Your pieces will be just as stylish and soft as you expect from all Uwila Warrior. The CiCLO® technology will only affect how they behave once they are disposed of, without compromising on durability.
What Uwila Warrior pieces are made with CiCLO®?
Right now, the Better Briefs Collection includes the Briefs, Thong, Camisole, Embroidered Briefs, and Embroidered Thong.
Where can I learn more about CiCLO®?

By choosing Better Briefs, you’re joining us on our journey to solve the problem of synthetic microfiber pollution.
]]>Most of the time, we talk about the experience of wearing underwear. But what about once you’re ready to retire them? The hard truth is not so comfortable.
In fact, approximately 11 million pounds of underwear end up in landfills every day. Most underwear is made of synthetic fibers, like nylon and elastic, that take hundreds of years to decompose. In the process, they contribute to synthetic microfiber pollution, which is a huge—and growing—problem.
In one study of aquatic samples in both freshwater and ocean water, about 90% of the debris found was from microfibers. Another found that 85% of debris on shorelines worldwide was from microfibers. What’s more, this pollution may bioaccumulate as it moves up the food chain.
At Uwila Warrior, we’re determined to be part of the solution, not the problem. That’s why we are pleased to announce new Better Briefs: In partnership with CiCLO®, we have developed a revolutionary new way to make underwear—with the same look, feel, and quality you love—that is better for the planet.
The (not-so-) secret? CiCLO® technology, a patented and scientifically proven solution that allows synthetic textiles to behave more like natural fibers in a landfill environment, without compromising on durability.
How CiCLO® works
CiCLO® technology is a nature-based solution to help mitigate fugitive synthetic microfiber pollution caused by textiles. CiCLO® technology is applied to fibers at the start of the manufacturing process, allowing synthetic materials to break down naturally in end-of-life environments—which means that your discarded undies will break down faster and into smaller increments, resulting in less microfiber waste.
Thanks to this cutting-edge technology, your pieces will be just as stylish and soft as you expect from all Uwila Warrior. The CiCLO® technology will only affect how they behave once they are disposed of. You can find out more about CiCLO® technology at CiCLOtextiles.com.

]]>Uncomfortable shifts. Awkward bunching. Discreet wedgie pulls. If you’ve worked out in uncomfortable underwear, this probably sounds familiar. But fear not! You can say goodbye to those workout wedgies and enjoy a new era of comfort in your activewear. Below we’re sharing no wedgie underwear picks, ideas for what underwear to wear with leggings, and the best moisture-wicking options for those sweaty sessions.
If getting in shape is one of your goals, your top drawer needs to get in shape, too. Fabrics lose their elasticity over time, leading to unwanted shifts and bunching – the perfect recipe for workout wedgies. Take a good look at your collection and toss any undergarments causing you grief. Quality matters, and investing in durable materials also ensures a longer lifespan for your activewear essentials.
The cut and style of your underwear also plays a pivotal role in your workout comfort. Here at Uwila Warrior, we purposefully design our briefs with generous leg openings that eliminate the need for constant adjustments. With our thong, we have also eliminated the back crotch seam, so there is nothing to dig in back there. Our underwear also has a natural fiber lining at the crotch that is heat bonded on all four edges. This means it lays flat and doesn't rub or irritate, for added comfort in a sensitive area.
Moisture-wicking underwear is a game-changer during intense workouts. Silk, despite not being an obvious active-wear material, excels at locking in moisture without feeling wet. Given the natural moisture-wicking properties of silk, our silk collection has also been a real game-changer for those who battle yeast infections or need some serious moisture control. It's like nature's own secret weapon against sweat. You can now choose between our silk briefs and silk thongs.
If you’re wearing leggings, our seamless underwear is also your ally in the battle against visible panty lines. Uwila Warrior's VIP Thong and Happy Seams briefs, with laser-cut edges, each ensure a smooth appearance under clothing without sacrificing comfort. Pain should never be part of your workout, and these high-quality options guarantee a friction-free experience.
Size matters, especially when it comes to workout underwear. Ill-fitting undergarments can lead to discomfort and hygiene issues. Uwila Warrior's Perfect Fit Promise takes the guesswork out of sizing – if your first pair isn't a perfect match, we'll send you a different size or style, free of charge. Your comfort is our priority, and we want you to exercise without the distraction of ill-fitting undies.

Uwila Warrior's commitment to quality, thoughtful design, and moisture-wicking fabrics ensures you can focus on your fitness journey without the distraction of uncomfortable underwear. Shop our favorites below.
Happy Seams, $38
Seamless underwear has no visible stitching, and thus no visible panty lines — perfect for leggings or yoga pants. At Uwila Warrior, we achieve this with laser cut edges, as opposed to traditional elastic or sewn edge leg openings. Made of a dreamy lightweight blend and with cotton gussets, they offer medium coverage and no visible panty lines.
Soft Silks, $38
Silk is the ultimate moisture-wicking fabric, even better than cotton. You need moisture wicking underwear if you sweat even just a little bit while traveling, exercising, cooking, working, walking, talking, Netflixing, or sleeping. So . . . basically, all the time. These gorgeous natural-fiber panties will also spare you visible panty lines.
VIP Thong, $22
Our thongs aren't just any thongs, they are VIPs — Very Important Panties. Made with a lightweight blend and cotton gusset for maximum hygiene, this thong is extra comfortable thanks to thermowelded side seams and removable tags.
Soft Silk Thong, $52
We made these silk thongs as pretty as it is comfortable thanks to stretch lace finishes at the waist and leg openings that won't pinch or pull. The mid-rise waist provides a bit more coverage in the front, while the breathable self-fabric silk gusset lining and tear-off label give it that totally-forgot-I’m-wearing-underwear feel you love from our Soft Silks.
]]>Imagine a winter base layer that not only keeps you warm but also seamlessly blends into your wardrobe. Our collection of silk lingerie and silk base layers do just that. You can think of them as a type of ultra-luxurious, silk long johns, perfect for everyday use, as a ski base layer, or when you’re out for a winter stroll.
As chilly weather settles in, you can make staying warm a luxurious experience. Below we’ll dive into the seasonal magic of silk, a moisture-wicking fabric that keeps you cool in the summer and cozy in the winter.
Unlike conventional base layers, our silk collection isn’t just about insulation. Instead, it delivers on both form and function. Here are some reasons we love it:
It’s moisture wicking. Silk naturally locks moisture inside the material so you cannot feel it. That’s great if you're getting some outdoor exercise during winter or skiing. Any sweat that might dampen your underwear or top will be immediately absorbed, rather than hanging around to make you feel chilly after you cool down.
It isn’t bulky. In the winter, we’re all about layers. Silk will keep you warm without the added bulk, allowing you to comfortably pack on a sweater, coat, and scarf.
It blends well. Our silk base layer performance top is made of a blend of silk (25%) and viscose (75%), so it never loses its shape. A 100% silk top would result in saggy elbows and a shapeless mess by the end of the day, so we found the perfect balance, combining the luxuriousness of silk with the resilience of viscose.
Silk Base Layer, $128
What’s ultra-soft, breathable, perfect for layering and we can’t stop wearing? Our Base Layer long-sleeve tee. Made from a silk-viscose blend, it works equally well as a second-skin layer for cold days or on its own as a simply elegant top. Available in classic neutrals and the pops of fun color you expect from us, this is the most versatile piece you’ll buy this year.
Soft Silks, $45
These briefs pair beauty and function to make one amazing pair of underwear. Made of 100% silk, our best-selling panties come with seams on the side to better fit under your clothes and around your curves. Silk is the ultimate moisture-wicking fabric, making these ideal for any occasion that demands underwear that stays in place and dries fast. It's time to pick comfort, not wedgies.
Our high-waisted 100% silk briefs have a soft-lace waistband that doesn't pinch or itch, and the seams on the side fit under your clothes and around your curves. Silk is the ultimate moisture-wicking fabric, making these ideal for any occasion that demands underwear that stays in place and dries fast.
Made of 100% silk, this machine-washable cami can be worn on its own, or as a base layer. Adjust the straps to get the coverage you want, and remove the perforated tags for maximum comfort. It’s available in a wide range of classic colors and neutrals.

When you have a lot on your plate, you have to make the most of every second of your weekend. So rather than giving into the Sunday Scaries, waking up on Sunday morning is a moment of bliss—or at least it is for multi-hyphenate Rachel Freedman.
Currently in her final semester studying public health at Simmons University, Freedman is passionate about maternal health promotion in her work with Love Your Menses as a project manager and helping people during those life-changing moments. Case in point: She spends her time outside of class as a doula and childbirth educator (and next year, she’ll be attending Tufts University to get her Masters in Public Health—nbd).
Sundays are time for Rachel to take a rare breather. “Personally I am a big reader!” says Rachel, adding that “Of course the typical romance reads are on my list but I also really enjoy reading about theology as well.”
But reading isn’t the only way she kicks back. Ahead, Rachel shares more about how she unwinds on a typical Sunday in our latest Day in Brief.
Uwila Warrior: What is your favorite day of the week?
Rachel Freedman: Sunday.
UW: How is that day different from the others?
Rachel: I see this as my reset day, I spend time doing some basic chores but also spending time refreshing myself to have a good week.
UW: How does the day start for you?
Rachel: I usually begin my mornings having some sort of brunch while I listen to my local church online.
UW: What about the afternoon?
Rachel: The afternoon is spent at the library picking up my newest reads and grabbing a treat for the week, then taking time to clean up my room and create a calmer space.
UW: What does a perfect evening for you look like?
Rachel: I love spending time with families or friends, so ideally I'd have dinner with them.
UW: What habits or moments during the day give you strength?
Rachel: Anytime I get to spend on my passions and interests gives me a good boost but also being able to connect with close friends is always a joy.
UW: How do you power down at night?
Rachel: Night time I usually spend time doing some sort of self care either reading, paint-by-numbers, or watching my favorite shows (currently Gilmore Girls).
Make every day your favorite day of the week with our Soft Silks Days of the Week briefs. Made of 100% silk, our best-selling panties come with seams on the side to better fit under your clothes and around your curves

Silk is the ultimate moisture-wicking fabric — even better than cotton! Silk naturally locks moisture inside the material so you cannot feel it. For our Uwila Warrior silk panties and tops, we use knitted silk, which is breathable unlike silk satin, which is often made with unnatural, suffocating fibers like polyester — 100% the opposite experience of wearing knitted silk.
For our newly released silk base layer performance top, we use a dreamy blend of silk (25%) and viscose (75%). We designed it to ensure that it never loses its shape. A 100% silk top would result in saggy elbows and a shapeless mess by the end of the day, so we found the perfect balance, combining the luxuriousness of silk with the resilience of viscose. It's a match made in moisture-wicking heaven.
Given the natural moisture-wicking properties of silk, our silk panties have also been a real game-changer for those who battle yeast infections or need some serious moisture control. It's like nature's own secret weapon against sweat.
It’s finally time to bid farewell to sticky and uncomfortable days and nights, and say hello to the magic of Uwila Warrior's moisture-wicking silk base layer and panties. Whether you're hitting the gym, conquering the trails, or simply going about your day-to-day activities, these base layers will keep you feeling fresh.

]]>Jennifer Hunt is proof that you never know where life will lead you. An accountant by trade, she always felt a need to nurture her creative side in her downtime. So when creating her wedding invitations in 2005 followed by her first couples holiday card, she found her passion: paper.
“It ultimately led to opening an art gallery first, and then [I dove] into the paper business in 2015,” says Jennifer. She’s struck the “perfect balance” with Dogwood Hill. “I now get to utilize everything I learned in the business world while working in corporate America for many years, as well as feed my creative passion in the art world.”
Still, as any business owner and busy mom will tell you, the real balance comes in finding time for family and fun amid the calls, meetings, and decision-making. That’s where her family-oriented Saturdays come in. Ahead, Jennifer shares why it’s her favorite day to rest and recharge.
Uwila Warrior: What is your favorite day of the week?
Jennifer Hunt: Saturday.
UW: How is that day different from the others?
Jennifer: We have two boys, 10 and 13, who are involved in three different sports, so our time as a family is later in the evening on weekdays (while trying to get through homework!) and on the weekends. We love traveling together to soccer games on Saturdays or college football games in the fall (Roll Tide!) and it's our time to enjoy downtime and recharge for the next week. My job is so fun and I love it, but my favorite thing is getting to hang out with my family.
UW: How does the day start for you?
Jennifer: Sleeping in a little, if possible! Then, making a big breakfast for the family and then heading out the door to a soccer, basketball, or football game. I love being a boy mom!
UW: What about the afternoon?
Jennifer: We like to go to one of our favorite restaurants for a late lunch or early dinner, to avoid the crowds. If we're traveling for soccer, we love to explore the town we're in and find a good local joint to eat and have a drink.
UW: What does a perfect evening for you look like?
Jennifer: Usually our late lunch or early dinner out means I don't have to worry about cooking! We love to settle in for a movie and chill for the night after what was likely a busy, but fun, day.
UW: What habits or moments during the day give you strength?
Jennifer: I wake up every morning, grab my cup of coffee and sit in the sunshine on our deck. It works wonders in waking me up. I head out for a walk after a few minutes of watching the Today Show. While walking I listen to podcasts (current favorite: How'd She Do That with Emily Landers). That time first thing in the morning is essential in getting me charged up for whatever the rest of the day brings.
UW: How do you power down at night?
Jennifer: I'm a night owl, so I'm usually the last one to head to bed. And I'm a TV junkie, so that's when I get the shows in that I want to watch without outside opinions. I also love to read and can be known to stay up way too late if the book is super interesting.
Now, whether you prefer thongs or briefs, we have a 100% silk option for you. To celebrate this new addition to our underwear collection, here are six undeniable reasons why our silk thongs should become your next lingerie staple.
1. They provide ultimate comfort. Our Soft Silk Thong is an epitome of comfort. Made from 100% natural silk fibers, it ensures a feel that's as light as air. The mid-rise waist offers additional coverage at the front, and the self-fabric silk gusset lining is so breathable that you'll practically forget you're wearing underwear
2. You can avoid visible panty lines all around. Thanks to the scalloped stretch lace trim at the waist and leg openings, our silk thong ensures a seamless, VPL-free experience, letting you wear any outfit with confidence, from workout gear to wedding dresses.
3. You won’t find yourself messing with a painful wedgie. Our thong back strikes a perfect balance: substantial enough to stay in place, yet not bulky. You'll bid adieu to uncomfortable wedgies and constant adjustments.
4. It will mold around your curves. The thong’s side seams are tailored to fit around your curves to perfection. Plus, silk's natural elasticity lets it stretch up to 20 percent of its length without losing shape, guaranteeing a comfortable and secure fit.
5. You can channel your sensuality. At Uwila Warrior, we believe that sexy is about feeling confident in your own skin. Our Soft Silk Thong doesn't just provide comfort; it's incredibly sexy. It creates a smooth and flattering look under your clothes, whether for daily wear or a special evening.
6. They’re a healthier and more sustainable choice. Silk might be pretty, but it's also hypoallergenic, moisture-wicking, and sustainable. Our silk thongs can help prevent yeast infections and will last a long time, especially if you wash your silk correctly.
At Uwila Warrior, we offer a variety of silk options to cater to your unique preferences, from our best-selling Soft Silks Briefs to high-waisted silk underwear and bundled silk sets. Explore all of our silk lingerie here. We think the silk thong looks especially cute with a matching silk camisole!
Soft Silk Thong, $52
The weightless luxury you love in our Soft Silk briefs and camisole, now in a thong. We made it as pretty as it is comfortable thanks to stretch lace finishes at the waist and leg openings that won't pinch or pull. The mid-rise waist provides a bit more coverage in the front, while the breathable self-fabric silk gusset lining and tear-off label give it that totally-forgot-I’m-wearing-underwear feel you love from our Soft Silks. They’re available in Smoke Grey, Toffee, and Tap Shoe Black, and run from size XXSmall to 3XLarge.
]]>At Uwila Warrior, we design all of our no show underwear to fit naturally around your curves. As a result: you see those curves and not an awkward panty line. With that in mind, here are 3 ways to choose the best underwear for every occasion and avoid panty lines.
Real talk: If we had to choose between visible panty lines and an uncomfortable thong, we would choose the panty lines. Luckily, we don’t have to make that choice!
Uwila Warrior’s VIP Thongs look and feel practically invisible. With a laser-cut waistband and leg openings, our thong is also seam-free — making it a great option to wear under tighter clothing. We have also eliminated the back crotch seam, so there is nothing to dig in back there and cause discomfort.
Even though they deserve to walk the red carpet, these thongs won't be making an appearance under your clothes, so you can wear them anywhere with 100% confidence. They’re also the best thongs for working out, letting you focus on the exercise rather than fixing your panty lines or pulling out a wedgie.
Not a thong person? No worries. You can wear full coverage underwear without full on panty lines. In the battle of seamless underwear vs. thongs, seamless briefs have a lot going for them. Our Happy Seams underwear layer well under pants, leggings, skirts, and dresses. They work great under clothes that are both form fitting and more relaxed. And they don’t cause panty lines.
So how do we do it? Samantha Benassai, Uwila Warrior’s Product Development Manager, explains: “With the laser cut edges on the leg openings, we avoid sewing in elastic trims, which usually pinch and pull, creating a visible line through your pants. The super thin and smooth edge of our fabric, instead, molds around the body and disappears beneath your clothes.” Just like magic!
The materials and cut of your underwear is also key to creating a smooth fit under your clothing. “Any style that has a sewn-in elastic, regardless of fabrication, will likely be more visible under your clothing,” Samantha explains. In addition, the cut of the panty itself will greatly influence what you see on the outside. Cheeky cuts like bikini underwear, will cut through the tissue in the butt at an unflattering spot, causing a more prominent panty line.
Uwila Warrior’s Chief Underwear Officer & Founder, Lisa Mullan, also recommends avoiding underwear that looks small, but expands to fit on your body. “These types of underwear tend to be made with more elastics that will pull in around your leg openings and cause dimples and lines under your clothing,” she explains.
Knowing this, you also want to make sure you have the correct size. You can consult our Fit Guide to learn more. And we offer our Perfect Fit Promise, so you can order a few sizes and return any that don’t work free of charge.
Happy Seams, $38
These mid-rise beauties disappear under clothes and feel invisible, too. Made of a dreamy lightweight blend and with cotton gussets, they offer medium coverage and no visible panty lines. With thermowelded seams and laser-cut leg openings, you can confidently wear them to the gym in yoga pants or in the boardroom in dress pants without a wedgie care in the world. These come in sizes XXS to 3X.

Breaking a sweat? Good. Sweaty underwear? Bad. A swampy butt would make anyone cut a gym session short. To avoid that, make sure you have moisture-wicking underwear. Start by trying silk panties.
While you might not think of silk as an athletic material, it actually is the best material for sweat wicking underwear. When silk gets wet, it locks moisture inside the material so you cannot feel it. That’s because silk can hold 30% of its weight in moisture before feeling wet to the touch. It’s kind of magical! Silk fibers are also among the most durable, so you can wash them relentlessly and keep them for many sweat sessions to come. For breathability, also look for underwear with a 100% cotton gusset (that’s the extra material sewn in at the crotch).
The cut, fabric, and size of your panties can all influence its wedgie-factor. While working out, you want underwear that won’t over stretch. It should also be cut around the entirety of the buttocks so it lays flatter and smoother on your body. If it is cut across the buttocks, it will creep inwards causing wedgies if you start to move a ton while exercising. At Uwila Warrior, we cut all our undies with this in mind.
Here’s another tip: avoid anything that is too small. In other words: size up for your workout panties. Thanks to our Perfect Fit Promise, if you don’t like the fit of your first pair, we’ll send you a different size or style of a similar price point, free of charge.
You might prefer doing your squats or downward dogs without showing off visible panty lines. Thankfully, you have options. Seamless underwear comes in many shapes and forms, including briefs and thongs.
Both Uwila’s VIP Thong and Happy Seams briefs have laser cut edges at the waistband and leg openings to ensure they’re panty-line free. These details give a smooth appearance under clothing, and also help you avoid painful rubbing when working out. Pain is not gain when it comes to your undies..
Check out these sweat-wicking options that won’t cause wedgies or visible panty lines. There’s one for every type of workout!

These come in sizes XXS to 3X.

Made with the same lightweight blend as our Happy Seams line and cotton gusset for maximum hygiene, our thong is extra comfortable thanks to thermowelded side seams and removable tags. They won't be making an appearance under your workout clothes, so you can wear them with 100% confidence.

They’re available in bright colors or sophisticated neutrals.
]]>Colors are a powerful tool to elevate your mood. Just like your favorite song can change your feelings, colorful underwear can do the same. So why not mix and match your lingerie to reflect your daily vibes? Here are some of our favorite cute plus size underwear.
With fuchsia, you don’t have to choose between purple, pink, and red. It’s all those colors mixed together! We’re obsessed with how the vibrant color makes these refined silk briefs feel fresh and modern. And if you pair the briefs with the festival fuchsia Soft Silk cami, you’ll have a complete lingerie look.

We make them up to size 3X. In addition to calypso pink, they come in six other cheery colors, like jester red and boy blue. Choose your favorites here: Happy Seams Brights, $38.
This set adds some colorful fun to the daily grind. Made of silk, the ultimate moisture-wicking fabric, these panties are perfect for staying comfortable while looking gorgeous, whether it’s Taco Tuesday or Sunday Funday.
We’ve designed these plus-size silk panties to eliminate pinching and pulling. Instead, they conform gently to your contours to create a flawless silhouette. Just like all of our silk undies, they have seams on the side to better fit around your curves and are available up to size 3X. You can shop this feel-good bundle here: Soft Silk Days of the Week Bundle, $275.
This sea-inspired blue green can bring the calming spirit of the ocean to your daily routine. The aquatic color is like a mini vacation for your senses every time you put it on.
For thongs XL and up, we make the leg gap larger and higher and increase the rise and front coverage.

In addition to blue ocean coral, we make these mesh versions of our VIP thongs in rose quartz and various neutrals up to size 3X. See them all here: VIP Thong Mesh, $24.

Uwila Warrior is all about giving all women the confidence to play with color, embrace their unique style, and experience the benefits of a vibrant lingerie collection. Want to know more? Read our guide to plus-size panties and then find out how to choose underwear that fits you perfectly.
]]>The first step in any treasure hunt is to understand the terrain. If you have narrower shoulders and wider hips, also known as a pear shape, try underwear with wider waistbands, like our Soft Silk briefs with contrast lace, which sit comfortably on your hips, drawing attention to your waistline.
For those with an apple-shaped body, where weight is primarily carried around the midsection, the key is to provide support and create a streamlined silhouette. Our high-waisted silk briefs or No Brainer full-coverage panties will smooth and shape your tummy area. And if you have more of a rectangular-shaped body, our silk pantie and camisole sets with lace embellishments can help create a more curvaceous appearance.
If you are looking for plus-size lingerie, we pay attention to the cut and fit, ensuring that our plus-size panties, plus-size chemises, and plus-size bralettes are designed to flatter various body shapes. Instead of simply scaling up smaller sizes to create extended sizes, we use fit models of different sizes to develop our underwear range. No matter your size, you can check out our Fit Guide to find the size that is going to look and feel the best for you.
As you continue your journey for the perfect fit, keep your eye out for some of our favorite undergarments that balance style and substance.
Bralette: Comfort Without Compromise
Imagine stumbling upon a bra that combines comfort, support, and style — just like the Uwila Warrior bralette collection. Bralettes offer a liberating alternative to traditional bras (think: no underwire!), providing comfort without compromising on support.
When shopping for a bra alternative, keep an eye out for these key features:
Seamless Underwear: Briefs vs. Thongs
For a seamless look under form-fitting clothing, seamless briefs and thongs are excellent options. Our Happy Seams Briefs feature laser-cut edges, eliminating visible panty lines. They are available in extended sizes up to 3X. Thongs, such as our VIP Thongs, are lightweight and provide a smooth appearance while ensuring comfort. We make sure to adjust the leg gap and rise for thongs in XL and up.
Full-Coverage Panties Can Be Cute
When seeking feel-good underwear, full-coverage panties are a great choice. Our No Brainer brief offers sizing flexibility and is designed to fit comfortably without causing discomfort. We avoid compression and constrictive fits, ensuring our full-coverage panties are also comfortable for plus-sized women. Additionally, our 100% silk briefs are available in extended sizes and provide a luxurious and moisture-wicking option.
Chemise: Embrace Effortless Elegance
These versatile pieces combine comfort and elegance, allowing you to feel effortlessly chic on your journey. Here at Uwila Warrior we offer a range of chemises that flatter your body shape and make you feel confident. These A-line chemises float on the body and make a perfect nightgown or beach cover-up.
Uwila Warrior understands the importance of finding the perfect fit that flatters your body shape, regardless of your size. With our commitment to true size inclusivity and attention to detail, we offer a range of panties, chemises, and bralettes that combine beauty and function. And our Perfect Fit Promise means that if you don't love your first pair of our underwear, we'll send you a different size or style of a similar price point, free of charge.
Finally, a bra you won’t be dying to take off at the end of the day. Made with our Happy Seams fabric, this breathable, sweat-wicking, and life-altering comfortable bra has no underwire, itchy tags, or uncomfortable underband. With removable cup inserts, double-lined darted cups, and adjustable straps, you can get just the right amount of support you need. Meet your new go-to everyday bra.
Our A-line chemises make a perfect nightgown or beach cover-up. Made with ultra-lightweight fabric it floats on the body.

Made of 100% silk, our best-selling briefs have seams on the side to better fit around your curves. They’re available up to size 3X.

The soft-lace waistband doesn’t pinch or itch, and the seams on the side fit under your clothes and around your curves.
This 100% silk, machine-washable duo is a comfortable and sexy set that will take you from day to night. Wear the camisole under a blazer, or under the sheets. The straps on the cami are fully adjustable, and the fabric on both the panties and tank are moisture wicking, fast drying, and tagless.

]]>When you invest in luxurious undergarments like Uwila Warrior bralettes or silk lingerie, you’re actually investing in a good mood. Keep reading to find out more.
When it comes to luxurious lingerie, few materials can rival the indulgent allure of silk. Not only does it feel like you're wrapped in a cloud of comfort, but silk has natural properties that will keep things cool when it's hot outside and cozy when the temperatures drop. It's like having your own personal temperature control system.
Let’s be real: moisture, from vaginal discharge or sweat, is a completely normal part of life. So you need underwear that will gently absorb it, instead of trapping it in. Underwear made of breathable natural materials, like silk, and those with cotton-lined gussets are ideal.
And hey, if you've got sensitive skin, no worries! Silk is hypoallergenic, so you can wear it without any irritation.
Colors have a profound impact on our emotions, and your choice of lingerie can significantly influence your mood. At Uwila Warrior, we want to help you experiment with different colors to discover their transformative effects. You can start with our Soft Silk Brights collection.
Cool tones, such as blues, promote feelings of calmness and relaxation, while a classic black lingerie set not only exudes sophistication but also instills a sense of strength. You can also energize yourself with warm shades like reds and oranges, or embrace your fun and youthful side with vibrant pinks. You can also explore brighter and more playful combinations.
A beautifully crafted silk lingerie set has the remarkable ability to make you look and feel incredible. Whether you're preparing for a special occasion or simply indulging in self-care, slipping into something sexy and captivating can reignite your confidence.
With a bralette, you can also let yourself free. These underwire free, less constrictive options can replace a traditional bra — no matter your bust size. Say goodbye to underwires and hello to unrestricted movement and a sense of liberation.

After building a career in fashion, she moved from NYC to Houston, where she discovered a passion for painting as she began decorating her house (check out her work at pippafraumeni.com!). Now, she juggles her business, her kids’ three schedules, and the occasional girls’ night.
Even outside of painting, her interests lie in the aesthetic. “I love interiors, antiques, old movies—TCM is my favorite instagram follow,” she says. And in the rare moments she’s not working or in mom mode, she says she’s become “obsessed” with Mahjong and needlepointing,” though she admits “I don't have time to do either.”
Though she finds beauty in all things, Pippa says, “I will always choose a trip over an object,” and admits “I'm happiest at the beach having a no-shower happy hour at sunset.” Which brings us back to her favorite day, when she makes time for both work and play. Ahead, find out how Pippa keeps everyone on track—and kicks back—in our latest Day in Brief.
Uwila Warrior: What is your favorite day of the week?
Pippa Fraumeni: Thursday.
UW: How is that day different from the others?
Pippa: I love Thursday because you have the promise of the weekend ahead of you, and I like to think of it as the kickoff to the weekend. I still jokingly call Thursday “College Night,” and if I'm going to get together with my girlfriends, this is usually the night. Weekends, in general, are for family in our house so if I'm going out solo it's on a Thursday. As you get older I think you appreciate the power of laughing your head off with good friends and taking off your Mom, Wife, Caretaker hats. Then hopefully after a fun night with friends, you have a quiet Friday and get to ease into the weekend.
UW: How does the day start for you?
Pippa: I wake up at 5:30 and take care of emails and back office part of my business. I am not a morning workout person, but I am a “sit in silence with my coffee and laptop” person. Between 6:30 and 8:30 it's a race to get three kids off to three different schools. By 9, I am back home and squeeze in a quick 30 minute workout and paint in my studio until it's time to pick up my littlest at 12.
UW: What about the afternoon?
Pippa: During nap time I pick up my house, which is usually a disaster by this point. Then I'm on kid duty running carpool and taking them to their activities. I love having three kids because I am a logistics freak—my favorite thing is when three people need to be five different places at once.
UW: What does a perfect evening for you look like?
Pippa: By 5:30 it's dinner, then wind down into bedtime. Once the kids are in bed at 7 I slip out and hopefully head to a fun dinner with some girlfriends. Hopefully at some point during the day I've found time to shower, do my makeup, and pick out a cute outfit but not always.
UW: What habits or moments during the day give you strength?
Pippa: Getting up before my kids, taking time to work out, trying to keep the house tidy—having an organized environment really helps my mental state.
UW: How do you power down at night?
Pippa: I wish I could say I meditate, but my husband and I love to watch trash TV. We are currently on Below Deck Sailing Yacht and it's as close to turning off one's brain as possible. Then I love to get into bed and read for 3.5 minutes before I need to turn off the light.
Make every day your favorite day of the week with our Soft Silks Days of the Week briefs. Made of 100% silk, our best-selling panties come with seams on the side to better fit under your clothes and around your curves.
]]>As the creative and business lead of her company, Brown has a lot on her plate. “I’m extremely passionate about my clients and my community where I live and work,” she says, adding that she takes pride in empowering women in her role, and with her creations. Still, she says a work-life balance is hard to achieve. “As women, we often choose ourselves last and put the needs of everyone else before our own,” she says. “I deeply admire those fighting for and living their American dream every day as well. I see these superheroes in my neighborhood of Jamaican immigrants, and in New York’s Garment District where Terese Sydonna is produced.”
Luckily, Brown has a tight-knit group of chosen family members to lean on. “I have a small close circle of friends, some I’ve known since I first immigrated to the United States,” says Brown, who says one of the ties that bonds them is their love of food. “Together we’re usually exploring the city and uncovering the best food to try.” Though fashion is, of course, her passion, she admits, “If I was not a fashion designer I would definitely be doing something in food and travel. Being an island girl I just can’t do without the ocean and having fresh food readily available!”
Much of this exploration happens on the weekend—specifically, Saturdays, which are Brown’s favorite. Find out why that is ahead in our latest Day in Brief.
Uwila Warrior: What is your favorite day of the week?
Terese Brown: Saturday.
UW: How is that day different from the others?
Terese: There is just something so exciting about Saturday. It’s a declaration that I've made it through another week, a day to sleep in late and do all the things I couldn’t get done at my own pace unbothered by deadlines.
UW: How does the day start for you?
Terese: I sleep in until 8 or 9 AM. Every morning I start off my day with gratitude rituals—giving thanks to God to see another day, a light stretch and opening my curtains to let sunlight in.
UW: What about the afternoon?
Terese: After my gratitude rituals I check messages, make a smoothie, workout, shower and head out to meetup with friends or my sister.
UW: What does a perfect evening for you look like?
Terese: I love ending up in unexpected places having amazing experiences that were not planned. Oftentimes, I leave my house around lunchtime with a destination in mind, but sometimes don’t make it back home until midnight or later because I’ve found out about another event or gathering that I just can’t turn down. On these summer evenings I’m usually outdoors with a gorgeous sunset sampling delicious food with my favorite people.
UW: What habits or moments during the day give you strength?
Terese: Being grateful always sets the mood for me. Reminding myself of this throughout the day allows me to stay present, let go of negative thoughts and prioritize what I absolutely need to get done instead of worrying about completing everything on my to-do list.
UW: How do you power down at night?
Terese: I end my day with a cup of tea and Korean dramas or the latest show I’ve been binging on Netflix.
Make every day your favorite day of the week with our Soft Silks Days of the Week briefs. Made of 100% silk, our best-selling panties come with seams on the side to better fit under your clothes and around your curves.

Our Happy Seams seamless briefs make panty lines vanish like magic and are available in sizes up to 3X. Made from a dreamy lightweight blend of Nylon and Elastane and featuring cotton gussets, these mid-rise briefs offer medium coverage. With thermowelded seams and laser-cut leg openings (instead of sewn seams), you'll enjoy a wedgie-free experience that feels like wearing next to nothing. They are a great option if you prefer briefs over a thong, yet still want to keep your underwear invisible.
If you’re shopping for larger sizes, know this: when creating our plus-size seamless underwear, we use different fit models, instead of simply scaling up smaller sizes. This guarantees a better fit. Whether you're petite, curvy, or somewhere in between, our playful and functional designs have got you covered.
Prefer a thong? No matter your shape, thongs do come with advantages, including a lightweight feeling. If you’re an active person, you’ll appreciate that our thongs stay in place. And less material can feel more comfortable in warm weather.
You might also find a thong to be a sexier choice. At Uwila Warrior, we understand that comfort and sensuality are not mutually exclusive and we’ve created our seamless VIP Thongs combining the best of both worlds. They are made with the same soft, lightweight fabrics as our Happy Seams seamless briefs and offer a barely-there sensation that feels gentle against your skin.
Just like our seamless briefs, our thongs come with thermowelded seams and laser-cut edges, meaning you can enjoy a seamless appearance without any irritating bumps or lines. We’ve also eliminated the back seam on these thongs, so there is nothing to dig in back there and cause discomfort. We have a range of playful and sophisticated designs, from bold colors to delicate lace accents. This perfect balance comes in sizes XXSmall to 3XLarge.
Ladies who love to hit the gym or get active, we've got your back (and front)! Both our seamless briefs and thong options are specifically designed for your active lifestyle, and won’t show through your leggings.
With moisture-wicking fabrics and no panty lines, you can conquer your workouts without a second thought about uncomfortable underwear. Stay focused on your goals and enjoy the freedom of movement with either our thongs or our briefs.
With a diverse range of sizes and styles, we ensure the perfect fit for your body shape. Embrace your individuality and experience the benefits of seamless underwear that combines comfort and style.

So by the time Saturday rolls around, she’s ready to enjoy it. And she’ll still find time to kick back. “Don't get me wrong, I could binge watch a movie or a TV show for hours and hours with potato chips, Skinny Pop, and chicken fingers,” she says.
Colin says her main goal is to live life without regrets. And that means constantly learning, and always finding the fun. “I consider myself to be cultured but at the same time to be active,” she says. “That's the reason I try to spend half my time in NYC and half my time in the heartland of Wyoming.” Sounds pretty idyllic, no? Ahead, Colin opens up about how she spends her rare free time and more in our latest Day in Brief.
Uwila Warrior: What is your favorite day of the week?
Jean Colin: Saturday! Saturday morning finally makes me feel relaxed. Having two businesses, especially with starting up Beyonderway, means my weekdays can be very challenging to be focused and motivated at all times.
UW: How is that day different from the others?
Jean: I can finally wind down to decompress myself. We are not machines and need time to recoup. This is something I have been learning how to do and understanding the meaning of. I guess I am getting more mature and wiser.
UW: Describe a typical morning on this day?
Jean: I like to wake up at 8 am, starting my day with a cup of coffee and reading the WSJ. As a couple, we like to go to a 9:30 am class at SoulCycle. I clean up after class with my Beyonderway Face + Body Wipes and use the Face & Body Mist to feel ready to take on the day.
UW: What about the afternoon?
Jean: We make brunch at home, if possible, since we eat out during the week a lot. During the winter, we tend to go to lots of matinee shows on Broadway, classical performances, movies, museum exhibitions. I try to keep up with current cultural events to see new things to give me creativity. Now that the weather is getting warmer, I have started golf season and am hoping to hit the beach in a few weeks. Since I am out and about in the afternoon, Beyonderway wipes become very handy.
UW: What does a perfect evening for you on this day look like?
Jean: If I do not have any social engagements, I am happy to be at home cooking dinner.
UW: How do you power down at night?
Jean: I turn off the phone so as not to be disturbed, and read in bed. Currently I am reading a beautiful book, The History of Costumes, published by Taschen. I’m loving it. In the evening, I love to do my evening routine with Beyonderway Face & Body Oil and Hand, Face, & Body Butter. When I wake up in the morning, my skin feels great and the essential oils really make me sleep well.
UW: What habits or moments during the day give you strength?
Jean: My playlist. Now that I work out of my home, I get very happy if I get a chance to have a short walk in Central Park with coffee. Looking at my laptop screen all the time and not drinking enough water, I feel dehydrated so I like to use Beyonderway mist to refresh and hydrate — the Aloe Vera leaf infused water makes my skin dewy.
Like your life partner, the underwear you choose for your wedding should feel like the perfect fit. Here are 7 tips to guide you.
Choose curve-friendly materials: Opt for underwear made with materials that fit around your curves and recover their shape. Many brands use elastic that causes unwanted expansion and dimples. Instead, at Uwila Warrior, we prioritize materials that stay in place during your activities — including getting down on the dance floor.
Embrace silk. Silk is an excellent choice for underwear of any size, including bridal lingerie. It naturally wicks away moisture and reduces the probability of chafing and rashes. Silk underwear feels soft on the skin and will keep you cool, dry, and comfortable throughout your wedding day. It also has a feminine and elegant appearance, which you might appreciate on your wedding night.
Focus on cut and fit. Look for brands that adjust the cut and fit of their plus-size panties. For example, at Uwila Warrior we increased the rise for our plus-size panties and made the leg gap larger and higher in our thongs XL size and up.
Consider seamless briefs. Laser-cut and thermowelded seams can make plus-size underwear more comfortable, while still avoiding underwear lines. In our Happy Seams briefs, we’ve eliminated elastic trims and sewn seams, reducing the risk of rubbing or pinching.
Find your style. Feel confident and comfortable on your wedding day by choosing lingerie that aligns with your personal preferences. If thongs aren't your thing, consider seamless underwear or silk undies with side seams to avoid visible panty lines. Simple and streamlined options can be just as sexy as intricate lingerie.
Shop truly size-inclusive brands. Look for brands that are committed to true size inclusivity. What does that mean? Well, here at Uwila Warrior, we use different fit models to develop extended size ranges, ensuring a better fit and proportion for each size. Avoid brands that simply scale up smaller sizes without considering the unique needs of plus-size bodies.
Embrace the wedding theme. Get festive with your bridal lingerie by incorporating wedding-themed elements. Look for undies inscribed with "I Do," opt for white lingerie, or consider something blue.
Below is a selection of our favorite bridal lingerie options that are sure to make you fall head over heels in love.

]]>At Uwila Warrior, we are committed to discovering and to incorporating sustainable materials and eco-friendly practices in our products. Our goal is to make our underwear a great choice for anyone who wants to reduce their environmental impact while still enjoying high-quality, comfortable underwear. You can avoid wedgies and know we are working to make better ethical choices as we adopt more sustainable fabrics and practices. Here are some tips to make it happen and choose sustainable underwear and other intimates that last for the long haul.
At Uwila Warrior, we focus on high-performance fabrics and then search for the most earth-friendly solutions commercially available. “It’s about balancing what will function and last, what will a customer reach for in her underwear drawer over and over again, and which material will do the least harm,” explains Samantha Benassai, Uwila Warrior’s Product Development manager.
Some of the typically sustainable materials just aren’t compatible with underwear design, like: flax. Others, such as cotton, are common, but not the best performers for issues like moisture wicking.
“If the underwear is made with a so-called sustainable fiber, but then is uncomfortable, doesn’t perform well or last long in her drawer, the environmental impact of producing it and then disposing of it doubles its overall impact, making it an even worse choice,” Samantha notes.
So what fits the bill for us? We are big fans of silk, as it is naturally moisture wicking and durable. We also use Naia™ fabrics, which are responsibly sourced from sustainably managed pine and eucalyptus forests and plantations. Not only is the fabric produced in a closed-loop process, they’re also super soft and supple.
“We stumbled upon Naia during one of our sourcing research trips and were immediately drawn to its light sheen, gentle stretch and soft drape. We were excited that the wood pulp fiber is from FSC-certified cultivation, meaning the chemicals used in processing are recycled and reused,” Samantha explains. The fabric marries Uwila Warrior’s dual design principles of comfort-first and planet-first.
Intimate apparel is one sector of the fashion industry where a higher price correlates to a better quality garment, meaning that it lasts longer. “If you are purchasing underwear at a $10 price point, realistically the materials used in it are going to be very cheap, low-grade quality that may wear through more quickly,” Samantha points out. In addition, the labor paid for such a garment would have been very low, meaning both that workers may not be making a living wage, and that construction may degrade sooner than you anticipated. Think: threads pulling, stitching unraveling, and seams bursting open. In this case, higher cost equates to better quality.
Every morning when you reach for your underwear drawer, you have the power to enact change. Mindful shopping, which includes investing in garments that you can care for and wear for years, is one of the most sustainable options available to us. This is especially true for underwear, which has limits to its ability to be recycled, become circular or enter into the second hand resale market. So what are you waiting for?
Soft Silk, $45
These briefs pair beauty and function to make one amazing pair of underwear. Made of 100% silk, our best-selling panties come with seams on the side to better fit under your clothes and around your curves. Silk is the ultimate moisture-wicking fabric, making these ideal for any occasion that demands underwear that stays in place and dries fast.
These high-waisted 100% silk briefs will keep your tummy smooth on period days, during the postpartum period, or any other time you just aren’t feeling a band sitting across your stomach. The soft-lace waistband doesn’t pinch or itch, and the seams on the side fit under your clothes and around your curves.

]]>As both a middle school reading specialist as well as a high school cross country and track and field coach, Cassie’s days are go, go, go. Outside of work, she’s all about maintaining her active lifestyle. “I love spending quality time with my 3-year-old Golden Retriever, Beacon, named after Beacon Street in Boston and an ode to the Boston Marathon,” she says. Aside from running, Cassie also loves hiking and golfing with her husband Bobby (sadly, Beacon has to stay home for those activities).
As Cassie preps for her latest race, she talks training, why Sundays are her favorite days—despite the extra-long runs!—and more in our latest Day in Brief.
Uwila Warrior: What is your favorite day of the week?
Cassie McLaughlin: Sunday!
UW: How is this day different from the others?
Cassie: It’s the one day out of the week that I can truly dedicate time for myself and my family (husband and dog). As a teacher and coach, my weekdays and Saturdays are consumed with a very strict schedule or classes, coaching, meets, and my own evening runs. Sunday is the one day I can break that routine and enjoy what I truly want to do!
UW: How does the day start for you?
Cassie: The ideal Sunday morning would be not setting an alarm and naturally letting my body get up when it wants to (still usually around 8:30 or 9 AM). If there’s warm weather, I like to enjoy my coffee on the deck with my husband and dog. Then I will gear up for my Sunday long run—depending on if I am training for a marathon or not I like to run the most miles out of my week, around 10-15.
UW: What about the afternoon?
Cassie: Once I am done with my long run (with my husband biking next to me) I like to get a nice shower in and sit down for a casual lunch. My favorite has to be eggs—I could eat them for every meal! Then we like to find a trail in the woods to explore with Beacon. We love enjoying the outdoors as much as possible!
UW: What does a perfect evening for you look like?
Cassie: Depending on the season, with later sunsets we like to enjoy our deck and play card games and maybe have a little "Sunday Funday" beverage—well deserved after all of the activities in the day. I also love curling up to a good book. Right now I am reading all of the new books by professional runners, like Kara Goucher's The Longest Race and Des Linden's Choosing to Run. These style books really fill my coaching and personal running bucket!
UW: What habits or moments during the day give you strength?
Cassie: My daily movement in the form of running, walking, or biking really helps to keep me grounded. It is my time during the day that I can just focus on myself and put the other life responsibilities to the side.
UW: How do you power down at night?
Cassie: As a teacher and reading specialist, reading is a big part of my identity. Each night I read for 15-20 minutes to help shut off from the day and not think about anything else
As a proud Boston-based brand, we want to honor our favorite springtime event—The Boston Marathon. Commemorate the occasion with our special edition running undies, available in VIP Thong and Happy Seams Brief styles.
]]>At Uwila Warrior, we pay attention to the details and create bra alternatives that work for everyone, because women with small, medium, or large breasts deserve to have it all. If you’re looking for a plus size camisole or a plus size wireless bra, we’ve found your perfect match.
At Uwila Warrior, we skip traditional bra components in our bras. We don’t use underwire, molded cups, or painful hook-and-eye closures. Instead we use soft materials that are more comfortable, but still provide the support needed for larger cup sizes and plus size bodies.
During our initial development of each product, we fit the style on a US size 18 model, as well as our size 4 model, to ensure that the fit for our plus size customer is just as comfortable as it is for others. Here are a few wireless options that come out of this process:
A Ribbed Tank: The Braless tank is made of an ultra-lightweight ribbed cotton blend. It has no underwire, no itchy tags, and no uncomfortable underband. Yet it still hugs your breasts to create enough support to be worn as a bra. You can also wear it on its own as a crop top, under clothes, or to sleep.
A Bralette: A bralette is an underwire-free, less constrictive replacement for a traditional bra. Our Soft Bra bralette has all these qualities and offers moderate support. It molds and moves with the body, enhancing your natural form.
A Camisole: Our silk camisoles can be worn hidden under your clothes as a moisture-wicking and comfy undershirt. Or they can be shown off — both in the bedroom or in the boardroom.
Since the camisole is meant to be a hybrid piece, used either for layering or as a top, we make the fit body-skimming, meaning it’s neither form fitting or loose. “For the camisole, we engineer the fit to offer optimal length and circumference to accommodate a larger bust and belly,” explains Samantha Benassai, Uwila Warrior’s Product Development manager. The same goes for our Happy Seams Camisole.
With our Fit Guide you can ensure your plus-size bra fits. To get the correct band size, wrap a soft tape measure around your torso directly under your bust. Keep the tape parallel to the ground and snug. For your bust, measure around the fullest part of your bust. Finally, to calculate your bra size, subtract your band size from your bust size. Based on the result, you can get your cup size. (For example: <1 inch is AA. 1 inch is A. 2 inches is B. 3 inches is C. 4 inches is D. 5 inches is DD/E.)
You can compare your band and cup measurement to our handy sizing chart. If you have a large band size, size up. The Braless ribbed tank also tends to run small, so size up there, while the camisoles are true to size. If you have a larger cup size, you also might consider sizing up in the camisole as well. The adjustable straps make it super easy to adjust the fit around the arms if you do size up.
Not sure what to get? Try two! With our Perfect Fit Promise, you can return the one that doesn’t work.
When shopping for a plus size wireless bra, it’s important to be conscious of your expectations. “The Braless style is not going to provide the same amount of lift or support that a traditional wired bra will provide,” Samantha notes.
Our wireless bras and tanks will provide a soft feeling of containment for larger busts, making it great for sleeping, lounging or layering, but not necessarily for leaving the house in certain outfits if you are accustomed to more lift and shaping.
As for the camisole, keep in mind that the straps are adjustable, so you will be able to control how revealing the front neckline is for you.
The Braless $48
The luxuriously comfy cami has no underwire, no itchy tags, and no uncomfortable underband. Yet it still offers enough support to be worn as a bra. It’s available in sizes XS to 3X, and comes in 5 colors.
The best thing about our Soft Silk camisoles is this: you can wear it as a layering piece or on its own and still look perfectly put together. Made of 100% silk, it is naturally fast-drying. Adjust the straps to get the coverage you want, and remove the perforated tags for maximum comfort. It’s available in 8 classic colors and neutrals up to size 3XL.
This longer-cut camisole will stay put all day. Made with the same ultra-lightweight fabric as our Happy Seams underwear, it will keep you warm in the winter and cool and dry in the summer. Fully adjustable straps to give you the bust coverage you want, and the fit is snug and won’t ride up. Toss it under a sweater or wear it on its own. With delicate lace detail and a removable tag, it knocks boring, bland layering tanks out of the water. It is available up to size 3XL.
Soft Bra $59
Here’s a bra you won’t be dying to take off at the end of the day. Made with our Happy Seams fabric, this breathable, sweat-wicking, and life-altering comfortable bra has no underwire, itchy tags, or uncomfortable underband. With removable cup inserts, double-lined darted cups, and adjustable straps, you can get just the right amount of support you need. This go-to everyday bra is available up to size 3XL.]]>Wearing comfortable running underwear that stays in place and keeps you dry can make all the difference. And if you opt for a seamless pair, you don’t have to worry about underwear lines showing through your workout clothes either. Below we’ve outlined all the underwear details that will keep your run on track. Ready. Set. Go!
The best kind of running underwear is the kind you don’t even notice. But while you’re focusing on your fitness, we’ve given attention to all the underwear details. From the material to the finish, our Happy Seams seamless briefs have key qualities that make them a great option for runners. These include:
These seamless panties will also sit into you running leggings so they don’t move around or bunch up. With that barely-there feeling, you can focus on getting that personal record.
Choose Moisture Wicking Underwear
Another key to comfort: staying dry. Excess moisture from working can breed bacteria and cause yeast infections. In all of our underwear, we use either natural moisture-wicking materials or an ultra lightweight — and very breathable — nylon blend.
There are times runners might consider a thong vs. a seamless brief. If you’re looking for something just a little bit lighter while working out, or are a dedicated thong wearer, look for a thong with a cotton gusset for maximum hygiene and removable tags. In our thong we’ve considered both of those details, and have also eliminated the back gusset seam, so there is nothing to dig in back there and cause discomfort.
Happy Seams $38
They might feel invisible once they're on, but you can't miss how amazing these mid-rise briefs are. Made of a dreamy lightweight blend and with cotton gussets, they offer medium coverage and no visible panty lines. With thermowelded seams and laser-cut leg openings, you can confidently wear these briefs to the gym in yoga pants or in the boardroom in dress pants without a wedgie care in the world.
Our thongs aren't just any thongs, they are VIPs — Very Important Panties. Made with the same lightweight blend as our Happy Seams line and cotton gusset for maximum hygiene, this thong is extra comfortable thanks to thermowelded side seams and removable tags. You can wear them anywhere with 100% confidence, including on a run.
]]>“I definitely believe that I have the best job in the world,” says Miller. “Because as an entrepreneur and businesswoman, I get to make beautiful shoes for fabulous women to bring them joy and make them feel great about themselves. What could be better?” Well, we’re convinced!
Beyond her work, Miller’s personal life is non-stop. “I’m a super busy and dedicated mom to two fantastic teens who keep me on my toes, pun intended,” she says. “Running a household and a business all at the same time isn’t easy, but I try to balance it all with humor and grace, knowing that I’m beyond fortunate and love what I do.”
Given her schedule, Miller is all about the break she gets on the weekends—specifically, those precious Saturdays. Ahead, she shares how she spends them, from spending a little extra time in bed to finding an excuse to dress up, in our latest Day in Brief.
Uwila Warrior: What is your favorite day of the week?
Tamar Miller: Hands down, Saturdays are the best!
UW: How is that day different from the others?
Tamar: Every other day of the week is about taking care of everyone and everything, so Saturday is the day to disrupt my typical routine and take a break from chores. It’s the day when I finally have a little time for myself. It’s the day when I can do my own thing, but it’s also a great day for spending time with my family, catching up with friends, and doing all the fun social things that I put off during the week. And the beauty of Saturday, for me, is that it's the day before Sunday—so there's just so much time ahead for rest and relaxation!
UW: Describe a typical morning on this day?
Tamar: Saturday mornings have always been my favorite time of the entire week! I always let myself relax in bed in the morning. My husband usually brings me a cup of coffee, I turn on the fireplace in our bedroom, and I linger for a long time, just reading and relaxing. Sometimes I'll even do a little bit of work, but I give myself the gift of doing it in bed, so it still feels like it's rest time.
UW: What about the afternoon?
Tamar: Saturdays are usually reserved for exercise and errands. We have more time to appreciate the fact that we live in beautiful Northern California and enjoy the outdoors. One of the things we love to do is take our puppy to an off-leash national park called Fort Funston. When the weather is clear in San Francisco, the beach there is glorious. It's one of our new favorite hiking spots, and we've started to make it a bit of a ritual.
UW: What does a perfect evening for you on this day look like?
Tamar: My perfect evening is a night out with friends—great conversation, tasty food, and yummy drinks! My husband and I are big foodies. We love exploring new restaurants in and around San Francisco, so we’ll often have plans to check out a new place. Saturday nights are also a great excuse for dressing up. I work from home most of the time, so my daily work "uniform" consists of workout clothes or denim. I love getting dressed up (and showing off my shoes, of course), so going out to fun dinners gives me a great excuse to pull myself together and put on something festive.
UW: What habits or moments during the day give you strength?
Tamar: I love that I don’t have many commitments on Saturdays, so there’s more time for self-care than during the week. If I can do an extra-long yoga class, go for a run, or maybe take a harder Peloton class than I would have time for during the week, that’s the kind of thing that sets my day off well and gives me strength.
UW: How do you power down at night?
Tamar: Snuggling with my husband on the couch and watching a movie is a great way for me to quiet my mind at night. I also always read before bed. For me, it’s the absolute best way to wind down.
Make every day your favorite day of the week with our Soft Silks Days of the Week briefs. Made of 100% silk, our best-selling panties come with seams on the side to better fit under your clothes and around your curves
]]>You may want to avoid underwear lines when wearing form-fitting clothing, regardless of your size or shape. In this quest you have two good options: seamless briefs or a thong.
Seamless briefs have no visible stitching, and thus no visible panty lines. At Uwila Warrior, we achieve this with laser cut edges, as opposed to traditional elastic or sewn edge leg openings. Leveraging these details, our hipster cut Happy Seams Briefs magically disappear under clothes and feel invisible, too. They’re available up to size 3X.
Thongs are another great option, as they are lightweight and always stay in place. For thongs XL and up, we make the leg gap larger and higher and increase the rise and front coverage. Because of this, the underwear lightly smooths and molds around your form, while leaving the back body naturally exposed. We make our VIP Thongs up to size 3X.
When you’re looking for feel-good underwear, full coverage has you back. We avoid compression and constrictive fits to make sure our full-coverage panties are actually comfy for plus-sized women. The No Brainer brief is Uwila Warrior’s MVP for sizing flexibility, in large part thanks to material. “The fabric is super stretchy and the cut is a mid-rise classic brief, which works well across a variety of bodies,” says Samantha Benassai, Uwila Warrior’s Product Development manager.
For the brief, we also ensure that you have enough coverage on the back body, so the underwear fits with fuller coverage and doesn’t sneak in between your cheeks during the day. Phew.
If you want a natural fiber plus-size pantie, our best selling 100% silk briefs are also a great option. They have seams on the side to better fit around your curves and are available up to size 3X. Silk is the ultimate moisture-wicking fabric, making these ideal for any occasion that demands underwear that stays in place and dries fast. (So pretty much every occasion.) They’ll also spare you visible panty lines and pair perfectly with our silk camis, which go up to size 3X.
At Uwila Warrior, all of our panties offer optimal coverage in both the front and back body, where plus size customers may hold additional volume or weight. In addition, our plus-size customers will find the same assortment available as our straight sized customers. Below are some options to explore.
No Brainer $22
On those mornings when you’ve got seconds to get dressed, nothing beats these briefs. And they’re available up to size 4X.
Soft Silk $45
Made of 100% silk, our best-selling briefs have seams on the side to better fit around your curves. They’re available up to size 3X.
Soft Silks Bundle $109
This 100% natural fiber silk duo is a comfortable and sexy set that will take you from day to night. Wear the camisole under a blazer, or under the sheets. The straps on the cami are fully adjustable, and the fabric on both the undies and tank are moisture wicking, fast drying, tagless, and available up to size 3X.
VIP Thong $22
Women of all sizes like to wear thongs, and these are available up to size 3X. Made with the same lightweight blend as the Happy Seams line and cotton gusset for maximum hygiene, this thong is extra comfortable thanks to thermowelded side seams and removable tags.
Happy Seams $38
These mid-rise seamless plus-size panties magically disappear under clothes and feel invisible, too. They’re available up to size 3X.
]]>From a fashion point of view, a silk camisole is the ultimate workhorse. But did you know they’re also super convenient to clean? At Uwila Warrior, we created a silk camisole that you can machine wash — so you’ll always have one ready to wear. Here’s why you should add them to your wardrobe.
Let’s start by dispelling some common myths about silk. You may have heard that silk camisoles can only be hand washed, since they fall apart in the wash. Or, you may think silk is a delicate material and pills when washed.
All of this is false. In fact, silk is the strongest natural fiber there is. Stronger than cotton, it can hold 100 times its weight. That means you can wear it while working out, dancing, or sleeping — which reminds us: a pair of silk panties and a silk camisole makes a great set of silk pajamas.
Silk might be strong, but it’s still good to use your machine’s delicate cycle to help it last. When machine washing your silk camis:
Using your machine won’t just save you time. “The silk camis actually recover the garment's shape when washed in a machine and low tumble dried,” explains Lisa Mullan, Uwila Warrior’s Chief Underwear Officer & Founder. We call that a win win!
If you want to get the absolute most out of your cami, you may want to try hand washing. Like all clothing items, Uwila Warrior silks will last longer when you avoid putting them in a washing machine or dryer. You may also see the color and sheen fade a bit more quickly in a machine than when washed by hand. For this reason, our hang tags recommend that you hand wash and hang dry. That being said, they can be washed in a machine and low tumbled dry.
Our silk camis come in various color and bundle options. Check them out below.
Made of 100% silk, this machine-washable cami can be worn on its own or as a base layer. Adjust the straps to get the coverage you want, and remove the perforated tags for maximum comfort. It’s available in 9 classic colors and neutrals.
Soft Silk Camisole Brights, $68
Our signature machine washable silk cami also comes in 8 bright colors.
Soft Silk Bundle Sets, $109
This 100% silk, machine-washable duo is a comfortable and sexy set that will take you from day to night. Wear the camisole under a blazer, or under the sheets. The straps on the cami are fully adjustable, and the fabric on both the panties and tank are moisture wicking, fast drying, and tagless.
]]>In addition to “reading all the books,” Christie has a lot on her plate, including taking care of her kids, collaborating with other writers, and learning the piano (a newfound hobby).
But for Christie, reaching Monday isn’t a drag, it’s a relief. As she puts it, Monday is a clean slate, beginning with morning therapy, and followed by hours of writing, exercise, and more. Read on to find out about how Christie fills her favorite day of the week in our latest Day in Brief.
Uwila Warrior: What is your favorite day of the week?
Christie Tate: Monday.
UW: How is that day different from the others?
Christie: It's the only day I have therapy at 7:30 AM, and it's the beginning of the week when I haven't screwed anything else up yet. And because I have social anxiety, weekdays are easier than weekends, so I like Mondays because there are five glorious days of work ahead when there are less chances for social occasions that have me up at all hours wondering why I said XYZ, or why I have no fashion sense, or whether anyone was offended by my stupid jokes, etc. I LOVE The clean-slateness of Mondays. Also: Therapy.
UW: How does the day start for you?
Christie: I wake up at 5:50, write three long-hand pages in my journal, take a quick shower, train it to therapy, and then after therapy, I find some place quiet to write, usually downtown Chicago at the Palmer House Hilton or the Chicago Cultural Center.
UW: What about the afternoon?
Christie: After lunch, I answer emails and make calls. My kids get home at 3:45 so I can't do much hard-core writing when they are around. I help with homework where I can, and then I practice the piano, an instrument I took up at age 48, and I exercise.
UW: What does a perfect evening for you look like?
Christie: After dinner, I like to read in the living room with my husband while my kids putter around finishing their homework. Sometimes I sneak away and watch HBO on my phone, but that's as racy as it gets. If there is an author in town having an event at a bookstore, I will go, and those nights are always special and cozy because Mondays are the best.
UW: What habits or moments during the day give you strength?
Christie: My three long-hand morning pages every single morning are life-giving. Exercise keeps me from murdering anyone, including myself. Therapy performs the same function for me as exercise.
UW: How do you power down at night?
Christie: I usually collapse at night. It's a full "TIMBER" into bed, where I read a few pages of a book and then lose consciousness, which is a beautiful thing.
