Underwear for Women

It could be a secret for you, but not for the man you love. Lingerie shopping is not just a private business any more. It is all about desire, and aspirations as much as possessions. And price tag is not a criteria any more. Things like softness, quality, feel, colours, delivery etc. are what make underwear shopping more prestigious than before.

The galaxy of women’s underwear types is vast and expanding. It is a burgeoning market in itself. There are thongs for women, cotton underwear for women, thermal underwear for women. Qualifiers like women in panties is an understatement today. Tags like best underwear for women and cheap underwear for women are more valid. Hope you agree!

That having said, let us discover the world of women’s underwear types. There are 24 of them (I know you didn’t know there were so many)! Not only will it widen your knowledge of it, it will also make you a more informed and prudent spender. Here we go.

FOR LIGHT DAYS

Boy Shorts

Give credit to men’s briefs for “boy shorts” – underwear for women. Unlike regular panties, boy shorts are rectangular on the thighs. Though they are similar looking to hipsters, they have a lower-cut leg.

Wearing Tip: Since boy shorts are devoid of visible panty lines, you can wear them under tight-fitted clothes. The interesting thing is that you can wear them under skater skirts or as loungewear or swimwear. WOW!

Thongs

Simply “Erotic” are thongs for women. But why? Because it has to sit 3-inches below the waist. More importantly, it gives you minimal butt coverage and stands out (privately, not publicly) with a triangular patch at the front. The sides of the underwear, almost rest on the hip bone.

Wearing Tip: What better way to celebrate your honeymoon than in thongs for women? Never forget the mischievous role and glamour value of the crotch-less styles in thongs. Wear bodycon dress or skirts (to evade panty lines).

Tanga

To some of you, the word Tanga in the lingerie context might sound Hindi (though it is not). These are basically European panty silhouettes (of moderate coverage). If you compare it with other underwear items, Tanga gives you a greater back coverage than a thong but narrower than a bikini.

Wearing Tip: Swimwear and Beachwear

French Cut Panties

Call it one of the best underwear for women or whatever; French Cut Panties are one of the most popular styles that you have been wearing all your life.
