Crotchless Panties & Open-Crotch Underwear

Crotchless panties are designed for bold, playful intimacy—panty styles with an open gusset (or open/cut-out construction) that creates a teasing reveal while still looking like a complete lingerie look. They can feel daring at first, but at their core, open-crotch underwear is about confidence: choosing lingerie that matches your mood, feels good on your body, and adds a little extra edge to your collection.

In this collection, you’ll find multiple silhouettes—from crotchless thongs and g-strings to cheeky cuts, strappy details, pearl designs, and matching sets that pair especially well with statement tops like an open cup bra. If you’re shopping for a coordinated moment, you can build a full look using sexy panties, g-string panties, or explore bolder themes in naughty lingerie.

What are crotchless panties? Crotchless panties are underwear designed with an open gusset (open-crotch construction) for a teasing, provocative look. They can be thongs, g-strings, cheeky cuts, or coordinating sets—often styled for intimate moments and special occasions.

What You’ll Find in Crotchless Panties

“Crotchless” doesn’t describe one single underwear style—it’s a design feature that can show up in many silhouettes. Some pieces are subtle (a small opening framed by lace), while others are unmistakably bold (strappy cage details or minimal coverage). As you browse, it helps to know the main categories and what each one tends to feel like on the body:

  • Crotchless thongs: a classic entry point—minimal back coverage with a flattering, streamlined line. If you like barely-there looks, compare with g-string panties.
  • Crotchless g-strings: the most minimal option—ideal when you want the “open” detail with the lightest footprint under clothing. Explore g-string panties for that ultra-minimal aesthetic.
  • Cheeky & strappy cuts: playful coverage with a flirty finish—great if you want a more “wearable” feel while still keeping it daring. See cheeky panties.
  • Pearl designs: a special-occasion style where a pearl strand replaces (or enhances) the open detail. Browse pearl thong options for a delicate statement.
  • Coordinated sets: open-crotch bottoms styled with a bold top (like an open cup bra) to create a matched, intentional look.

If you’re shopping by mood, you’ll often see open-crotch underwear in themed edits like Valentine’s lingerie, bolder themes inside naughty lingerie, or more elevated finishes under high-end lingerie. For a broader view across one-pieces and coordinating options, you can also explore the full crotchless lingerie collection.

Best for first-time shoppers

Start with a lace crotchless thong or a cheeky cut with a stable waistband and softer trims. You’ll get the “open” effect without the intensity of heavy straps or hardware.

Best for a bold, minimal silhouette

Choose a g-string or pearl-detail style when you want an intentionally minimal look. For that barely-there vibe, start with g-string panties.

Best for curves and plus sizes

Look for stable waistbands, soft stretch lace, and strap placement that frames rather than squeezes. Begin with plus size crotchless panties, then compare with plus size panties.

Best for a “complete look”

Pair your open-crotch panties with a statement top—especially an open cup bra—or browse one-piece options like a crotchless teddy.


Crotchless Thongs & Minimal Open-Crotch Styles

A crotchless thong cut adds a sleek, sexy line to your lingerie wardrobe. In practice, this category includes multiple variations: classic thong shapes, strappy thong designs, and ultra-minimal g-strings. If you like underwear that feels light and unobtrusive, a thong (or g-string) style is often the easiest way to try open-crotch underwear without feeling over-styled.

Many open-crotch thongs are crafted from semi-sheer stretch lace or soft mesh that moves with your body and stays comfortable. Look for smooth elastics at the waist and leg openings—those details matter because they determine whether the piece feels “barely there” or whether it digs in. If your goal is the most minimal silhouette, explore g-string panties for the cleanest finish.

Want something a bit more playful? Strappy details create a contouring look that highlights your curves, especially when paired with a matching top. Many shoppers build their set by choosing a bottom here and pairing it with a bolder top like an open cup bra. If you prefer a slightly more “everyday-adjacent” vibe (while still daring), compare with cheeky panties for more coverage at the back.

Pearl Thongs & Special-Occasion Open-Crotch Underwear

Pearl thong styles are a more playful, special-occasion take on open-crotch lingerie. Instead of a standard open gusset, some designs incorporate a pearl strand that adds a delicate statement to the look. These pieces can feel more “event-ready” than your everyday favorites— which is exactly why so many shoppers look for them when planning romantic moments, anniversary nights, or holiday gifting.

If you’re browsing specifically for pearl designs, head straight to the pearl thong collection. For a full styled moment, pair pearl bottoms with elevated pieces from high-end lingerie, or shop seasonal edits in Valentine’s lingerie.

Comfort note: pearl details are typically best for shorter wear windows or special moments (rather than all-day wear). If comfort and longer wear are your top priorities, consider lace or mesh open-crotch styles and save pearl pieces for when the vibe is intentionally “extra.”

Cheeky, Strappy & Cage-Detail Crotchless Panties

Not every open-crotch panty is ultra-minimal. Many styles in this collection are designed to feel more “complete” on the body—think cheeky cuts, strappy sides, cage details, and soft lace panels that frame your shape. These are great when you want the open detail but also want structure: something that feels styled, flattering, and intentionally lingerie (not just a minimal string).

If you love a flirty fit with more back coverage, start with cheeky panties and then move into more daring open-crotch versions. For a bolder mood, browse slutty panties or explore the broader theme under naughty lingerie.

Styling tip: strappy bottoms pair beautifully with sleek, simple tops so the lines remain the focus. If you want the top to match the energy, an open cup bra creates a coordinated, high-impact look.


Plus Size Crotchless Panties & Curve-Friendly Fit

Open-crotch lingerie isn’t “one body type only.” Curve-friendly crotchless panties are all about smart construction: stable waistbands, comfortable elastics, and fabrics that stretch without feeling thin or flimsy. The right pair should feel secure and flattering—never pinching.

If you’re shopping specifically for curve-friendly options, start with plus size crotchless panties, and compare with everyday silhouettes in plus size panties. Many shoppers like to begin with a familiar cut (cheeky or thong) and then explore open-crotch versions once they’ve found their preferred rise.

What to look for in plus-size open-crotch underwear

  • Comfort-first stretch lace: Soft stretch lace that lays flat and moves with your body.
  • Supportive waistband: A stable waistband that doesn’t roll or twist during movement.
  • Thoughtful strap placement: Straps that frame curves rather than cutting in at high-pressure points.
  • Balanced coverage: If ultra-minimal feels too exposed, choose cheeky-adjacent cuts before going full g-string.

For special occasions, you can build an elevated set by pairing plus-size open-crotch bottoms with a statement top from open cup bras, or explore the more polished finish of high-end lingerie.

Occasions: Bridal, Valentine’s & “Just Because”

Crotchless panties show up across a wide range of moments—from playful “just because” lingerie to special-occasion gifting and bridal edits. If you’re shopping for wedding-related looks (honeymoon, bridal shower, or wedding night styling), explore bridal panties for clean, romantic silhouettes. For a seasonal, romantic edit, browse Valentine’s lingerie.

For bolder nights and more provocative themes, the fastest path is naughty lingerie (and for a playful, flirty edge, see slutty panties). If you want a refined, luxe feel—think elevated lace, smoother finishes, and more polished styling—shop high-end lingerie.

Care: How do I wash and store delicate open-crotch lingerie?+
Hand-washing is ideal for lace, mesh, and strappy designs. If you machine wash, use a lingerie bag and a gentle cycle with cold water, then lay flat to dry. Store delicate pieces flat (or folded) so straps don’t tangle, and keep pearl details separate so they don’t snag on lace. For more elevated materials and finishes, treat items from high-end lingerie with extra care.

How to Choose the Right Crotchless Panties

Best for first-time shoppers

Choose thong, g-string, or pearl-detail designs where the look is intentionally minimal. These silhouettes are especially popular when you want a sleek line or a “barely-there” aesthetic. Start with g-string panties and then explore special-occasion details in pearl thong styles.

Best for a styled set (matching energy)

If you want a coordinated, high-impact look, pair open-crotch bottoms with a bolder top—especially an open cup bra. This combination keeps the look intentional and balanced, especially when bottoms are minimal.

Best for plus sizes and curve-friendly fit

Look for pieces with stable waistbands, soft stretch lace, and strap placement that frames rather than squeezes. Begin with plus size crotchless panties, and for more everyday-adjacent fits compare with plus size panties.
