There’s a lot more to picking a pair of panties than thinking they look cute in the store.

You Will Need

  • A butt to cover
  • A selection of styles
How To Choose a Pair Of Panties: Think about comfort

Step 1: Think about comfort

Decide how important comfort is to you. Briefs, boy shorts, and ladies boxers are the least constricting styles.

If you need to wear a thong, try one with more front coverage, or tangas, which have wider waistbands.

How To Choose a Pair Of Panties: Consider fabric

Step 2: Consider fabric

Take the fabric into consideration. Polyester provides the most support, wicks moisture, and dries quickly, making it great for workouts. Spandex or Lycra provides the most seamless look. Silk and satin are pretty, but must be hand-washed. Cotton is more hygienic because it’s breathable.

If you like the look and feel of polyester panties, buy ones with a cotton crotch.

How To Choose a Pair Of Panties: Size up your body

Step 3: Size up your body

Consider what works best with your body type. To trim your hips and thighs, try boy shorts made with Lycra. To eliminate muffin top, go with a high-waisted Lycra brief or panties that dip in the front.

If you want your legs to look longer when you step out of your clothes, choose a French-cut brief.

How To Choose a Pair Of Panties: Whittle away inches

Step 4: Whittle away inches

Invest in a few good body shapers to wear with unforgiving clothes. Some can squeeze as much as an inch and a half off your waist and hips!

How To Choose a Pair Of Panties: Match waist height

Step 5: Match waist height

Wear panties with a waistline at or just under the height of your skirt or pants — unless you want people to see the outline of your bikini panties under your high-waist trousers.

The waistband of your panties shouldn’t feel the least bit tight. If it does, go to the next size.

How To Choose a Pair Of Panties: Ensure a smooth fit

Step 6: Ensure a smooth fit

If you’re wearing tight jeans, slip on a hipster or string bikini. Both have less material on the sides.

America’s first print underwear ad ran in the Saturday Evening Post in 1911.

LOL This seems more like thin veiled tease material than a pressing need but it's well done at least!
