Bras get all the hype, and don't get us wrong, they're amazing for a good ol' boob boost. But today, honey, we're talkin' about the underwear drawer MVPs: PANTIES! By the time you're done with this saucy guide, you'll be a panty expert, knowing how to slay the game with style, comfort, and a booty that'll stop traffic.
"Covering" the Wild World of Panties Your bum is a work of art, and the right panties are the perfect frame. Unlike bras with their fancy measurements, undies are all about your pant size and personal vibe - making it a teeny bit tricky to find the ones. But don't stress, babe! We've got the scoop on the most popular panty styles, from most coverage to least, plus all the comfort and styling deets you need.
Boyshorts
Think men's briefs, but way sexier. Boyshorts are like boxer briefs, but with shorter legs and zero cheek action. They're your go-to for everyday comfort with mid- to high-rise pants and flowy skirts/dresses. And don't even get us started on how cute they can be! The No Lace Like Home Black Lace Boyshort proves boyshorts can be the perfect combo of comfy and come-hither.
Briefs
Briefs give you plenty of front and back coverage with a little cheeky sneak peek. You get low to high rises, even control briefs for a smooth silhouette. They're casual comfort queens, so pair them with pants and loose skirts/dresses to avoid the dreaded pantyline. Ugh, there's no worse style sin!
Bikini
Briefs with an attitude adjustment! Bikinis have lower waistbands, higher-cut legs to show off those hips. Super comfy, but might give you pantylines, so stick with loose fits like pants or flowy skirts/dresses. And don't think they can't be sexy! The Best-Lace Scenario Open Crotch Cobalt Blue Panty, with its lace and ribbons (and that surprise in the middle), is the perfect pick-me-up for a sultry night in.
High-Cut/French-Cut
Hello, flashback to the 80s! These have the high-cut legs of a bikini, but the coverage of a brief. Wear them with anything you'd rock a bikini or brief with, but be aware: they might show under bodycon. French cuts are the perfect mix of comfort and va-va-voom! The In Your Lace high-waisted panty will have your partner losing their clothes in no time!
Hipsters/Hip Huggers
Not the hipster dudes, the hipster undies! They're like boyshorts, but lower rise, higher cut, less back coverage - hello, cheeky booty! Perfect for when you're feeling sassy, but also great with low-rise jeans, skirts, and dresses. They're the undie that says, "I'm here, I'm cheeky, get used to it!"
Tanga/Brazilian Briefs
The panty hybrid! They've got the shape of hipsters, the leg holes of briefs, the low rise of a bikini, and the booty show of a thong. Fewer pantylines than the others, so they're perfect for bodycon, tights, and leggings. And they're a big booty's BFF! The Hot Hook Up Crotchless Panty, with its lace and hooks and crotchless fun, will have you looking and feeling like a total bombshell.
Thongs
The thong: minimal coverage, maximum sex appeal. The front's like a bikini, but with a back string to keep you pantyline-free under that bodycon skirt. Want to mix sweet and sassy? The Amazing Lace Open Crotch Black Thong, with its strappy details and adorable heart pattern, says, "I'm ready for love, but don't forget, I'm still a boss!"
G-Strings
As close to going commando as you can get! G-strings have a tiny triangle for the front and strings everywhere else. They might not be for everyday, but with tights, leggings, and bodycon, they're the pantyline-free dream. The Lady of Chain White G-String, with its soft lace and shiny chains, adds a little sweet to your sultry.
