Whenever you are shopping for underwear, it would be nice to actually have a specific style in mind so you don't end up buying the same style over and over again. And yes, people have the tendency to buy the same style because it is safe and they already know how it looks like. But you don't have to stick with the same choices. You will actually have more fun trying out different types of panties and see what works for you. So here are the basic types of panties you should know.
1. Briefs - it fully covers the rear and rises up to the waste or maybe just below the navel. Now looking at its sides comes some variations.
- Classic cut - has the sides covered and extends below the hips. You will mostly see these with girls under puberty because it's conservative and simple enough.
- French cut - also called high-cut brief because the side exposes more of the hips. It's a bit sexier than the other briefs because it shows more skin.
- Boyleg briefs - also called boyshorts are styled after men's briefs, it looks straight across the top and below covering the hips in full, and it has extra fabric inside the inner thighs.
- Control briefs - this one extends above the waist to offer support and give a slim appearance. Because of the nature of this type of panty, a stretchable type of fabric is needed, such as spandex, to make one of these.
2. Hipsters - are much more like briefs but waistbands are worn lower around the hips. It's called "hipster" because it hugs the hips.
3. Bikinis - are also worn at the hips but the fabrics at the sides are narrower. The rear coverage is much less compared to briefs. String bikinis are a special type of bikini where the sides are held together with strings instead of fabrics.
4. Tangas - give full rear coverage but the waistband is reduced to a narrow strip at the sides.
5. Thongs - the waistband is similar to tangas but rear coverage is not full. This is actually popular because it exposes the most in all the panty types. There are also other variations of this type.
- G String - this is the most common among all the variations. It has an inverted triangle-shaped strip of fabric in varying width that is connected with strings to the side and narrows in-between buttocks.
- V String - this is similar to the shape of G string except that the inverted triangle-shaped strip of fabric is replaced with two strings that separate from the bottom instead.
- T-Back - is easier to recognize because it is all strings at the back fully exposing the rear.
- C String - this one eliminates the waistband forming a "C" shape with a special frame that holds its shape. Useful for eliminating panty lines when wearing a silk dresses or tan lines when you are at the beach.
- Cheeky - covers more area and is considered the most conservative of all the thong variations. The bottom fabric is still narrow and goes between the buttocks but the sides are covered with wider fabric which continues to the front.
This list has only the basic types of panties. But from it you will recognize different variations done by designers sometimes mixing the styles but it generally falls under one of the categories listed above.
I hope this list has been helpful for you so that the next time you go shopping for panties, you would always find words to describe what particular style you are looking for.
