boyshorts

Low-rise leg coverage

Boyshorts are women's underwear styled to resemble men's briefs—low-rise with leg coverage extending to the upper thigh rather than cutting high on the hip.

The style offers more coverage than bikini or thong cuts: She prefers boyshorts for working out.

Despite the name, boyshorts are designed for and marketed to women.
