What are the types of panties?

Underwear may be one of the most important items in the closet. The basis of each outfit, the correct collocation can enhance your confidence and comfort. But one style is not always suitable for every situation.

 

Panties are a form of underwear primarily worn by women. Women's underwear panties can be form-fitting or loose. Typical components include an elastic waistband, a crotch panel to cover the genitalia, usually lined with absorbent material such as cotton, and a pair of leg openings that, like the waistband, are often made of elastic. Various materials are used, but are usually chosen to be breathable.

 

Ladies underwear panties are made of a variety of materials, including cotton, lace, latex, leather, lycra, mesh, nylon, PVC, polyester, rawhide, satin, and silk. Whether you like the freedom of a belt or the concealment of high-heeled pants, here is a breakdown of the 7 different underwear panties styles you need to use in the upper drawer and their most suitable wear.

 

1.  Thongs:Best for underneath tight dresses and fitted pants

 

Don't you want to show your underwear? You may already know that you should stretch out a pair of cotton underwear thongs. The thong’s hip coverage is zero and the hip coverage is minimized, providing a seamless and VPL-free appearance.

 

2. Bikinis: Best for jeans, skirts, dresses

 

Just like your favorite bikini, bikini-cut underwear usually has a lower hip hem and higher leg cuts, while still providing adequate coverage on the back. Bikini is one of the most popular underwear styles and can be used with almost all clothing.

 

3. Hipsters: Best for Low rise bottoms

 

Halfway between a boyshort and a bikini, women hipsters underwear panties have a bit more coverage on the leg-line than a bikini cut, but still sit a few inches below your natural waistline. If you love wearing low rise pants and jeans, hipsters are pretty perfect, minimizing the risk of accidentally exposing your underwear.

 

4. High Briefs: Best for High waist bottoms or any time you want to feel more secure

 

Designed for full coverage with slimming lines, high briefs underwear is great when you want a little added support or an extra comfortable barrier between you and your high waist pants. Sure, some may refer to these as “granny panties,” but we’ve been seeing this high coverage cut in tons of modern colors and fabrics.

 

5. Mid-Rise: Best for Mid-rise pants and skirts.

With more coverage than a hipster, but less than a high brief, mid-rise bottoms barely graze your navel for a comfortable, mid-coverage fit panties. Designed for daily wear, this style works especially well under mid-rise pants.  

 

6. Boyshorts: Best for Loungewear and flashing-prone outfits

 

For a full coverage brief that’s between a base layer and loungewear, the boyshort is a versatile piece that can function as well under clothing as it can on its own. Perfect for a night in, or as an insurance policy on a breezy day, the boyshort has you covered, literally.
