What Are Panties?
Panties, also known as women’s underwear, are garments worn beneath outer clothing to provide coverage, comfort, and hygiene.
They come in various materials such as cotton, lace, silk, and synthetic fabrics, each offering different levels of breathability, stretch, and durability.
The Parts of Panties
Understanding the structure of panties can help you choose the right pair for your needs. Here are the main components:
A. Waistband
The top part of the panties that sits around the waist or hips, often elastic to ensure a snug fit.
B. Leg Openings
The sections where the legs go through, designed for comfort and flexibility.
C. Gusset
A small, often cotton-lined section in the crotch area, providing hygiene and breathability.
D. Front Coverage
The front part of the panties, which may have different designs or reinforcements.
E. Back Coverage
The back portion that provides coverage and support.
Types of Coverage in Panties
Panties come in different coverage styles, catering to personal preference and outfit needs. The main types include:
- Full Coverage, Covers the entire rear and front, offering maximum support and comfort. Ideal for daily wear.
- Medium Coverage, Provides coverage for most of the rear while being slightly higher cut on the thighs.
- Minimal Coverage, Offers less coverage, usually exposing part of the buttocks, making them perfect for seamless and stylish looks.

3. Hipster Panties
Hipster panties sit lower on the hips and provide moderate to full coverage, making them perfect for low-rise jeans and dresses, typically made from cotton, lace, or microfiber.
4. Boyshorts
Boyshorts are inspired by men’s boxers, offering full coverage with a short-like fit, ideal for lounge wear, wearing under dresses, and preventing thigh chafing. They are commonly made from cotton, spandex, and nylon.
5. Thong
Thongs provide minimal back coverage with a narrow fabric strip, making them great for tight-fitting dresses and skirts to avoid visible panty lines. Common materials include lace, nylon, and microfiber.

6. G-string
G-strings are similar to thongs but have an even thinner fabric strip at the back, best for intimate wear and preventing panty lines, often made from silk, lace, and spandex.
7. Tanga
Tanga panties are a blend of a thong and bikini, providing minimal yet comfortable coverage, making them a stylish choice without full exposure. They are usually crafted from cotton, lace, and satin.
8. High-Waisted Panties
High-waisted panties extend above the belly button, offering full coverage and tummy control, making them ideal for shaping and wearing under high-waisted outfits. They are typically made from cotton, spandex, and nylon blends.
9. Cheeky Panties
Cheeky panties are a fun and flirty style that offers moderate back coverage, more than a thong but less than a bikini. They highlight your curves with a slightly revealing cut, making them a great choice for everyday wear or special occasions.
Perfect for adding a touch of confidence to your outfit, they work well under fitted jeans, dresses, or skirts while keeping you comfortable and stylish. If you're on the hunt for cheeky panties, the Mesh Cheeky Underwear in Caviar is a must-try.
Choosing the Right Panties for You
When selecting the perfect pair of panties, consider the following: Comfort, choose breathable fabrics like cotton for daily wear. Occasion, seamless and thongs are great for formal wear, while briefs and boyshorts work well for lounging.
Fit, ensure the waistband and leg openings aren’t too tight to avoid discomfort. Fabric, moisture-wicking fabrics like microfiber are great for workouts.
