Types Of Underwear

Women’s Underwear Styles

Women's underwear comes in many different types. Here’s a quick breakdown to help you choose the style and how to wear them.

Best paired with: Jeans, Dresses, and Everyday wear

2. Thong Underwear

Thong underwear delivers the right balance of barely-there coverage and breathability. It is often made with lighter and softer fabrics and is designed to provide a more natural shape because it doesn’t create cuts on the thigh area like regular underwear.

Best paired with: Workout clothes, formal dresses, or anything!

3. Boyshorts

Boyshorts is a type of women’s underwear that offers full hip and butt coverage. It has a cut that enhances the shapes and the appearance of the butt while preventing thigh chafing, and leaving no visible panty lines.

4. Shaping Panty

If you’re looking for full-coverage support that enhances your shape in your favorite outfits, these shaping panties are your perfect match. They are designed to comfortably smooth your midsection in seconds, leaving you with a seamless finish.

Best paired with: Any outfit!

5. Hipster Underwear

Hipster is a type of underwear that gives more coverage to hip to flatter the shape. From its name, hipster underwear has a perfect fit that sits on the hip, just a couple of inches below the waistline.
