    They're usually designed to ride about two inches BELOW the bellybuton.

    My experience is to buy briefs one size lower than your boxers. Depending on the company of course. Old Navy sells some fairly well fit briefs. American Apparel sells some tight ones that fit perfect for me (their sizes directly correlate with your waist size). Hanes and Fruit of the Loom, steer clear of, they normally don't fit at all.

    You're probably pulling them up too much.

    Keep them at the same level as your boxers.

    Well, I wore briefs at my waist and didn't have a problem.

    Fresh out of the package they will fit large over the your navel. If you buy a proper size. After the wash cycle they will shrink to a more comfortable size. If you find that your pants have a low rise, you may consider a low rise brief. Hanes, Jockey and many of the designer brands have a low rise brief already.

    It depends on the manufacturer. Some briefs are "full cut" like the ones that you described and will fit high on your waist. You can find others that are described as "mid rise" or "low rise". The mid rise are my favorites. I like the fit of FTL colored briefs the best. They seem to be a step up from the entry level white briefs.

    I think briefs are pointless unless they are brief. I would go for tanga or bikini briefs or just go back to boxers.
