Panties & Underwear

Panties are women's underwear that sit at the hip or waist for coverage, comfort and outfit support. They come in a range of cuts — brief, high-waisted, boyshort, hipster, bikini, cheeky, brazilian, thong and G-string — and fabrics from breathable cotton to smooth seamless, sheer mesh and lace.

From most to least coverage: full brief, high-waisted, boyshort, hipster, bikini, cheeky, brazilian, thong and G-string. Briefs and boyshorts give the most coverage and security, hipsters and bikinis are everyday all-rounders, and thongs and G-strings give the least coverage with no visible line.

For most people it's breathable cotton in a full brief, boyshort or hipster with a wide, flat waistband and smooth leg openings. Comfort comes down to fit and fabric more than the specific cut — the wider and flatter the band, the less anything digs or rolls.

Thongs are the most reliable, and a seamless pair with bonded or laser-cut edges gives the flattest line under fitted clothing. Match a nude tone to your skin for the most invisible result under light fabric. See seamless or thongs.

Yes — cotton is breathable, absorbent and easy to care for, which makes it the everyday staple most people build a rotation on, especially for long days, travel and warm weather. See the cotton edit.

Briefs give the most coverage and sit highest; boyshorts add short legs for full rear coverage with no ride-up; hipsters sit lower on the hips with moderate coverage. All three are comfortable everyday cuts — the choice is how much coverage and how high you want them to sit.

Both give partial rear coverage — more than a thong, less than a brief — for a flattering, cheeky finish with fewer visible lines than full coverage. Brazilian cuts are known for a sculpted, lifted back. See brazilian and cheeky.

Match the rise to your outfit. High-waisted panties sit at the natural waist for a smooth line under high-rise jeans and tailored trousers, while low-rise sits better under lower waistlines. See high-waisted or low-rise.

A seamless pair or a thong keeps the line cleanest under fitted and lightweight fabric, since both minimise edges. For very thin or clingy fabric, keep bulk low and match a nude tone to your skin. Browse seamless.

Style-forward panties in lace, sheer mesh and refined cuts, chosen when underwear is part of the look rather than just a base layer. See the sexy edit or lace.

Yes — every cut comes in a curve-focused fit through the plus size panties edit, graded with a wide, flat waistband and smooth leg openings so nothing digs, rolls or rides up.

High-waisted panties sit at the natural waist for a smooth, defined line, and shaping styles with a firmer front panel go further for light tummy control. See high-waisted panties.

Rolling is usually a rise mismatch or a too-narrow band — try a higher rise or a wider, flatter waistband. Digging at the leg means the cut is too tight — choose a softer leg finish or a little more coverage. Shifting usually means sizing or weak stretch recovery.

For a smoother, less pinched feel, size up; for maximum stability and less shifting, your true size is usually best. Stretchy fabrics are forgiving, while structured cotton may need sizing up to avoid digging. Always check the specific size chart.

Wash cold on a gentle cycle, air dry or tumble low, and use a wash bag for lace and sheer. High heat is the main thing that tires out elastic, so keeping pairs out of a hot dryer preserves the fit. Retire a pair once the elastic goes or the edges curl.

Build by intent: one breathable cotton staple for everyday, one no-show pair (seamless or thong) for fitted looks, one coverage-forward pair (brief or boyshort) for comfort, and one elevated piece for styled moments. Those four cover almost every outfit.
