Introducing Gigi and Queen Gaffs (And a Guide to Every Gaff Style)

I'm thrilled to say that Gaff and Go has launched two new gaffs into the range, Gigi and Queen, and I wanted to take the opportunity to walk you through everything we make and how each style is different.

Whether you've been tucking for years or you're shopping for your first pair, this should help you figure out which one suits your body and your day.

A quick note before we get into it: tucking should never hurt. None of the gaffs we make require tape to work, and none of them are designed to be worn so tightly that they cut off circulation or cause damage. None of this is medical advice. If you're new to tucking and want a primer on safe technique, read our How to Tuck guide first. This post is about choosing a style, not learning the basics.

Prefer to compare everything at once? Jump straight to the comparison table for an at-a-glance summary of all eight styles.

GIGI GAFFS

Gigi Gaffs are built around a thicker, firmer waistband that sits flat across the hips and stays put through the day. The cut finishes above the bum crack on purpose: it shapes and flatters without rolling down or digging in. Available in sizes XS to XXL.

They're the gaff to reach for when you want a secure all-day hold without going as structured as Victoria or as wide as Wide. If you live in your gaff most days and want something that works as a daily, this is the one I'd start with.

QUEEN GAFFS

Queen Gaffs go a step further on coverage. The band is extra-wide and sits high on the waist, distributing the hold rather than concentrating it in one narrow strip. Currently available in black and nude.

If you've ever found a regular gaff cuts in across the waist or rolls down on a long day, Queen Gaffs are designed to fix exactly that. They're a great pick if comfort is your priority and you want something that disappears under high-waisted clothing.

TUCKING GAFFS

Tucking Gaffs are the classic style and the foundation the whole range is built on. A standard waistband, a flat-front finish and the secure, tape-free hold that became the Gaff and Go signature. No extra structure, no specialised features, just the original done well.

If you're shopping for your first pair and want to keep things simple, this is the easiest place to start. Once you've worn a classic gaff and you know how it sits on your body, branching out into the more specialised styles becomes much easier.

VICTORIA GAFFS

Victoria Gaffs are our most structured and refined style. The premium high-waist V-shape is cut for control and a polished silhouette, which makes them ideal for long days, nights out and any time you want a bit more shape under a dress. Available in black, purple, nude and white at £35.99.

These are the ones I reach for when I want everything held in place under something fitted. They're a step up in price and structure from the everyday range, and they feel it. If you're going somewhere you want to look and feel put together, Victoria is the answer.

HIGH WAIST GAFFS

High Waist Gaffs are the everyday option for fuller coverage and a smoother silhouette. The higher rise sits comfortably across the waist without the structure of the Victoria style, and the color range is the widest we offer: leopard, star girl, seasonal prints and all the standard staples. There's a bundle option with a matching bra if you want a coordinated set.

If you wear a lot of crop tops, high-waisted jeans or anything where you want the gaff to stay properly covered, these are the ones. They're also a solid first-time purchase if you're nervous about visibility.

WIDE GAFFS

Wide Gaffs are the ones to reach for when you need extra security at the front and waist. The straps are wider, the elastic is more robust and the coverage is more generous than the standard cut. They're lined with anti-bacterial cotton, which makes a real difference on warm days. Available in black, nude, red, raspberry, blue and tan.

I wear these when I need to know nothing's going to shift around: travel days, busy work shifts, anywhere I won't have a chance to readjust.

MAGIC GAFFS

Magic Gaffs are our high-performance, premium-feel option. Thicker straps, a firmer waistband and ultra-luxury cotton linings, with a double band option if you want enhanced support. They're for the days when you want the gaff to feel as good as it performs.

If you've tried other styles and want something more substantial without going up to the structure of Victoria, this is the answer. The double band option is worth considering if you want maximum hold without sizing down.

TUCKING BRIEFS

Tucking Briefs are the alternative to a gaff cut. They give you the same purpose-built front panel for tucking, but in a brief silhouette rather than a thong. If you find thongs uncomfortable or you simply prefer the look and feel of regular briefs under your clothes, this is the range to look at. Magic Briefs and Active Sports Briefs are both included.

Worth saying clearly: choosing briefs over a thong doesn't mean compromising on hold. These are properly designed to tuck securely. The cut just feels more like everyday underwear, which is what some of us want.

EVERY STYLE AT A GLANCE

Here's the full lineup side by side. If you want to compare cuts, coverage and what each one is best for without re-reading the whole post, this is the shortcut.

WHICH GAFF IS RIGHT FOR YOU

A few rules of thumb to help you choose. If you're new to tucking, our classic Tucking Gaffs or High Waist Gaffs are the most forgiving starting points. If comfort across a long day is your top priority, look at Gigi or Queen. If you want maximum control under fitted clothing or for a night out, Victoria is the one. If you're active or want the most secure hold, go with Wide or Magic. And if thongs aren't for you, Tucking Briefs cover that ground.

Whatever you pick, sizing matters more than style.

Order your true size for your first pair. You can always go down a size later if you decide you want a tighter hold once you know how it sits.
