Learn how to fit, style and care for the Scantilly Voltage Brazilian Brief. Practical steps for sizing, wearing a black Brazilian brief and keeping sheer mesh looking its best.
Quick answer
Choose your usual Scantilly brief size, then check that the sheer mesh sits flat across the hips and the embroidered front panel covers without digging. Treat it as a matching set piece with the Voltage Deep Plunge Bra, and wash it by hand to protect the zig zag embroidery.
Why the Voltage Brazilian cut feels different from a full brief
The Voltage Brazilian Brief is designed as a flattering Brazilian shape with a sheer mesh back and zig zag embroidery across the front. That combination means less coverage at the back than a standard brief, so the fit checkpoint is different: you are checking for a smooth line rather than full coverage.
Because the mesh is 90% polyamide and 10% elastane, it has some stretch but still needs to lie flat. If the back edge rolls or the front embroidery pulls, the size is likely off rather than the style being wrong.
When to size up or stay true to size
The catalog lists only a size option for this brief, with no separate waist or hip measurements. That absence is a real limitation: you cannot compare against a size chart from the product page alone, so use your usual Scantilly brief size as the starting point and adjust based on how the mesh behaves.
If you are between sizes, size up for comfort in the embroidery panel. If you prefer a closer, more secure feel under fitted clothing, stay true to size but check that the gusset liner sits comfortably.
Styling a black Brazilian brief beyond the matching set
The black colorway and sheer mesh make this an easy piece to wear under dark or neutral clothing, but the embroidery adds texture that can show under very thin fabrics. Pair it with the Voltage Deep Plunge Bra for a coordinated look, or wear it as a standalone brief under high-waisted trousers where the back coverage is less visible.
For a lace Brazilian brief styling approach, keep the rest of the outfit simple so the zig zag embroidery remains the detail rather than competing with prints.
How to fit, wear and care for the Voltage Brazilian Brief
- Start with your usual Scantilly brief size: Try the size you normally wear in Scantilly briefs first. Put it on and check that the waistband sits level and the front embroidery panel lies smooth without pulling across the hips. If the mesh rolls at the back edge, try one size up before deciding the style is not for you.
- Check the back coverage in a mirror: Turn sideways and look at how the Brazilian back sits. The mesh should follow your shape without cutting in or leaving a visible line under leggings or trousers. A Brazilian cut shows more cheek than a full brief by design; if you want more coverage, this is the wrong shape rather than a sizing problem.
- Match it with the Voltage Deep Plunge Bra: Wear the brief with the matching bra when you want a coordinated set. Check that the embroidery on both pieces aligns visually and that neither piece feels tighter than the other. If the bra fits but the brief does not, adjust only the brief size; the set does not need to be the same size in both pieces.
- Style it under clothing before a full day out: Wear the brief for a short trial under the outfit you plan to wear. The sheer mesh and embroidery can show under thin or light-colored fabrics, so check in daylight. Save this brief for darker or textured fabrics if you want the embroidery to stay hidden.
- Hand wash to protect the embroidery: Wash the brief by hand in cool water with a gentle detergent, then rinse and press gently in a towel. Do not wring or tumble dry, because the zig zag embroidery is 100% polyester and the mesh is stretch-sensitive. Skip fabric softener, which can coat the mesh and reduce its stretch recovery.
