When it comes to underwear, one style doesn’t always fit all occasions. Whether you love the freedom of a thong or the full-bum coverage of a high brief, we’ve got you covered with six different underwear styles you need in your drawer and why.
Tip:find your underwear in a shade closest to your own skin-tone for a no-show look.
1. Thongs

Best for: Underneath tight dresses or white jeans.
A thong is one pair of underwear you can wear underneath everything and it won’t show, ride up, or dig. A seasonless style, thongs are especially helpful during warmer seasons when white jeans, flirty dresses and shorts make up your daily wardrobe.
Our Comfort Stretch Thong is a key piece to help you slay in those fitted bottoms and all-white outfits. A seamless style that lays flat against your skin without digging, this thong remains unseen under your clothing.

“I really like this underwear. It’s lightweight, soft against my skin, and invisible under clothes. I was looking for something simple and comfortable. I can wear these work, to the gym, and around the house and forget I’m wearing them!”
2. Bikinis

Best for: Underneath breezy summer dresses or linen pants.
Thongs not your thing? Underwear lines probably aren’t either, so go with a bikini cut. With more coverage than a thong or cheeky, the bikini style is perfect for zero panty lines and flashing-prone outfits.
For the perfect bikini underwear, try our Comfort Stretch Bikini. With a seamless design that lays flat against your body and hugs your curves, our Comfort Stretch Bikini doesn’t ride up so you can be comfortable all day.

3.Hipsters

Best for: Low-rise bottoms.
Halfway between a boyshort and a bikini, the hipster style sits a few inches below your natural waist line and is perfect for those low-rise pants and jeans. For a hipster option that offers flexible, move-with-you coverage, our Pima Cotton Hipster is a crowd favorite.

For a full coverage brief that is in-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.
