The tummy control brief that stays put.
Most shapewear rolls down by lunch. The CrossHold Brief has a wide, high waistband and crossed tummy control bands, so it holds your lower belly smooth from school run to bedtime.
Most shapewear rolls by lunch. This one stays put.
You put it on smooth at 7 am. By noon the top has folded down to your belly button, there's a new ledge across your stomach, and you're tugging it back up in every bathroom you pass.
That's not your body. It's a thin strip of elastic that folds the second you sit or bend. We built the opposite: a wide, high waistband, crossed tummy control bands that hold your lower belly where it sits, and soft, breathable fabric everywhere else.
Built to do three things well
No miracle claims. It holds, smooths and stays where you put it.
1. Crossed tummy control bands
Hold your lower belly in and smooth, so your jeans button without the spill over the top.
2. A band above the scar
The waistband sits high, above a C-section scar. Nothing presses or cuts in where you're most sensitive.
3. A band that stays up
A wide, high waistband stays put when you sit, bend and lift. No tugging it back up at lunch.
Why our customers love them
In their own words, from women who wear them every day.
Finally, no more rolling down
“I wore these all day, sitting, walking and running errands, and the waistband stayed up. That alone makes them better than the other pairs I’ve tried.”
Sarah M., 38 · Verified buyer
My jeans actually buttoned
“I tried these under my favourite jeans, and they buttoned so much more comfortably. My lower belly looked smoother, and I didn’t have to change into a bigger top.”
Jessica · Verified buyer
Comfortable enough for everyday wear
“I expected them to feel tight, but they felt comfortable under my clothes. The crossed bands help smooth my tummy without making the whole brief feel restrictive.”
Amanda T., 42 · Verified buyer
My clothes fit better
“My waist has changed over the years, and I haven’t loved how my jeans fit lately. These give me a smoother look underneath, and I feel more comfortable wearing my usual outfits.”
Linda W., 54 · Verified buyer
No constant adjusting
“I’m always pulling other shapewear back up throughout the day. These have a nice high waistband, and I love how they smooth my tummy under fitted dresses.”
Michelle K. · Verified buyer
A smoother look under my jeans
“I wanted something that would hold my lower belly without creating another roll at the top. These give me a smoother shape under my jeans, and I like the full-coverage fit.”
Nicole, 46 · Verified buyer

Questions moms ask
Which size should I order?
Your usual underwear size. Measure your waist at the belly button against the size chart. Between sizes? Size up for all-day comfort.
Will it roll down?
It's built not to: the wide, high waistband stays in place when you sit, bend and lift. If you have any problem with your brief, contact us and we'll help.
Will it show under my clothes?
The crossed bands and wide waistband lie flat, so there are no lines under jeans, leggings or fitted dresses.
Is it comfortable enough to wear all day?
Yes. It's tummy control at the front and silky-soft everywhere else, and the fabric breathes. Most moms wear it as everyday underwear.
Can I wear it after a C-section?
The waistband sits above the scar so nothing presses on it. Wait until your doctor or midwife clears you for shapewear after surgery.
Will it close my diastasis gap?
No. Nothing you wear can promise that, and we won't. Keep doing your physio. This is for how your clothes fit today.
