WhitneyTypes of Women's Panties
June 16th 2009 13:47
There are so many different types of panties that women can choose from and it's hard sometimes to pick the right ones, especially since most of them go by multiple names. One store may call them hi-cuts where another may refer to them as French cut briefs. I believe I've listed most of them. If I've missed something, please let me know in the comments below.
Classic/Granny/Full Briefs- Although comfortable, the full panty is just not so attractive if you're 20, but what's a panty drawer without at least one pair of granny panties?
Hi-Cut/French Cut Briefs- The hi-cut brief is sort of like a bikini, sitting above the hips but closer to the waist. The sides are narrow and sit high.
Boyshorts/Girlshorts/Boy Leg- Boyshorts provide more coverage than the hipster, and have wider sides.
Hipsters/Hiphuggers- Hipsters sit on the hips and are sort of like briefs except the the top half is not there, giving the sides more material and an overall fuller coverage in the back than with the bikini or hi-cut brief.
Tangas/Cheekys- These are higher cut in the back so to show more of the cheek. They typically have a bikini or hipster design in the front with the high cut in the back, showing more rear-end.
Bikini/String Bikini- The bikini and string bikini have full coverage in the back and sit higher on the hips rather than the waist. The bikini has a thin, narrow side, and the sting bikini has a string width side.
Thong/G-String/V-String/T-Back- These teeny, tiny panties are sexy. They typically have thin sides and an even thinner rear end, leaving nearly the entire butt open. Depending on style, the width of the bottom and back material will vary, making it a G-string, V-string, T-back, or plain thong.
These basic styles can come in so many altering appearances, so when it comes to choosing new panties, it can be a pain to decide which to add to your basket. I've seen bikinis, thongs, G-strings, and V-strings have skirts added to the front. I've even seen cheekies, designed the same way.
For the most part, the panties that you prefer will depend on what you feel is comfortable and sexy.

That's just my preference. I never did find the g-string thing too comfortable and some of the others just show too much (dare I say) extra fat!

I HATE thongs and g-strings. I've worn them when in a pantyline emergency, but I think they're uncomfortable.
If I feel like looking really cute, though, I will always wear cheekys. I think they're adorable.

But...they aren't cute, and they bunch up under jeans. I save them for necessary occasions.

Natalina, cheekies are my boyfriend's favorites. I opt for my string bikinis for ful coverage although some are hard to size and can bunch in tighter pants.
Raoul, thongs are worn by more slutty women in my opinion. Although, I will wear them, it's typically more so because the pair of pants I plan on wearing require them due to an unsightly panty line.
Anonymous granny pantiesare an interesting choice. I don't see as many in the stores as used to.
