Do you know your thongs from your tangas? Or do you still get your boy shorts and briefs mixed up? Shopping for panties can be more complicated than drawing a Kardashian family tree but that will soon be a thing of the past. Here is a comprehensive guide to all things panties to help you understand what is covering your crotch.
1. Basic Brief Panties
If you image search the word “panty clipart” this is what comes to mind. A stock standard, usually cotton, panty. No frills and no fuss. Briefs fit on your natural waist and provide full coverage in the back, sitting comfortably underneath the butt cheek. Its mid-rise fit makes it perfect for everyday wear and a standard cut around the leg makes it super comfortable. A great, all-rounder piece of underwear.
2. Bikinis
The bikini is the younger, flirtier sister of the brief. Still offering coverage in the back, the legs are cut slightly higher, elongating your legs and fitting comfortably a couple of inches below your navel. It also lends its name from the popular swimsuit cut and it sits closer to your hips than your waist.
3. Thongs
Thong panties were introduced to the world in the 70s. Just as women started to go braless for disco, they also started to #freethecheecks. Thongs offer zero coverage in the back but they also leave zero panty lines, so it is a tossup of coverage vs. contours. They have a triangular front, thin sides that ride around your hips, and a slightly wider band that sits in between your cheeks (unlike its shoestring cousin the G-string that is no wider than a piece of floss).
4. Cheeky Panties
Just as its name suggests, these panties are fun, flirty, fabulous. The cheeky cut offers a higher cut leg for an ultra-sexy fit in the front. The back offers partial coverage making it more comfortable than a thong but more playful than a bikini. It’s a win-win! The mid-rise is also very comfortable and will be more flattering on most body shapes, compared to a panty that sits on your hips. Long story short, this is a must in your wardrobe!
5. High-Waisted Thong Panties
Thong haters, you are not alone, until today. High-waisted thongs have come to save us from ourselves and provide a seamless look from every angle as well as a full coverage, stomach hugging-front. It is basically the mullet of panties, business in the front, party panties in the back. Get your cheeks out, have your belly covered, and have your sides hugged in this versatile must-have.
6. High Waisted Panties
These are not your granny’s panties anymore! High-waisted panties will give you comfort and coverage in styles sexier than you could ever imagine. A high-rise front is any women’s best friend as it can smooth out any lumps or bumps in an effortless and comfy way. You also get full coverage in the back without worrying about your drawers riding up at inappropriate times.
7. Boyshorts
Boyshorts are one of those love-‘em-or-hate-‘em cuts. These square briefs sit on your hips but the legs are cut low, basically in line with your crotch. They can be comfortable if you have a sporty or square body shape and offer a feminine take on classic men’s briefs. Boyshorts also work wonders to prevent panty lines as the low legs sit at the top of the upper thigh.
