Different Types of Underwear Every Girl Needs ...
By Holly • Nov 3, 2025

Underwear is like that secret weapon hidden beneath your clothes, making you feel like an absolute queen. Believe me, every girl needs a well-rounded underwear wardrobe, and I speak from personal experience here! Back in my college days, I used to think having a flurry of mismatched panties would suffice. Fast forward to 2024, I've realized that having the right types of (intimate apparel) for different occasions can make a world of difference.

Now, my friend, let’s dive into the fascinating realm of underwear types. You know, the ones that save you from the dreaded panty lines, give you support during your morning jog, or that sultry piece that gives you an air of confidence for date night. We’ll talk about the variety from basic cotton panties to daring thongs, and everything in between.

Starting our journey with the cotton variety - the MVP of undergarments. (Breathable fabric), moisture-wicking, and oh-so-comfortable! When I think of my go-to for lounging around or those endless Zoom meetings, it’s always a pair of trusty cotton underwear. Next, let's discuss the invisible under clothes hero – seamless underwear. Ideal for those sleek, tight outfits, they ensure no embarrassing lines interrupt that fabulous silhouette.

And who can forget about the sassy thongs? Now, thongs used to intimidate me, thanks to some cringe-worthy moments of discomfort. But, trust me, once you find the right fit, thongs can be as comfortable as they are alluring, not to mention they provide zero visible panty lines.

We’ll definitely get into the lace and satin world too - especially the cheeky panties and sultry, yet surprisingly comfy bralettes that are perfect for those special occasions or simply whenever you want to feel a bit extra. Don't worry; we've got your back with some practical tips under Special Occasion Underwear.

Let’s not overlook the sporty side. The sports bras and performance underwear are lifesavers. Having played intramural soccer and trained for a half-marathon, these bad boys offer the support and comfort that regular ones just can't match.

Finally, who could possibly ignore the sophisticated and classic variety of high-waisted panties? They have made a triumphant return not just for their vintage charm, but for their tummy control magic too! Talk about a confidence booster under those high-waist jeans or skirts.

So, ready to transform that tired drawer into a vibrant collection of ‘unmentionables’? Hang tight as we unpack the essentials every girl needs and maybe, just maybe, I'll throw in a tale or two of my mishaps for good measure. Welcome to your ultimate guide to underwear enlightenment!

1. Thongs

Thongs

Men love thongs, which is why they're great to wear on dates. However, they're also great to wear when you're worried about panty lines. If you have a tight skirt that you can't wait to wear or a pair of light pants that are easy to see through, then place a thong underneath it so no lines are visible. It's an easy fix to a common fashion problem.

2. Boy Shorts

Boy Shorts

Boy shorts are great to wear when you know you have to change in front of others (in gym class, for instance), but haven't had the time to shave your entire bikini area. That way, you won't have to feel embarrassed about stripping down, because you'll be all covered up. Besides, this type of underwear looks adorable on anyone, young or old!

***

Boy shorts are a great alternative to traditional panties for those who don't want to expose their legs or bikini area. They provide more coverage than traditional panties, making them perfect for those who want to feel more secure. They are also great for active wear, as they provide more support and stay in place better than traditional panties. Boy shorts come in a variety of styles and colors, making them a great option for those who want to add a little bit of personality to their wardrobe. They are also perfect for layering, making them a great option for those who want to look stylish and stay comfortable.

3. Briefs

Briefs

These are great to wear during the week of your period, because they give you a lot of coverage. Besides, there are a lot of briefs that come in plain white colors without any decorations or embellishments. Since you don't want to ruin any of your fancy underwear during that time of the month, plain briefs are the perfect thing to wear when you're worried about blood leaking onto your clothes.

4. French Cuts

French Cuts

This underwear is underrated. You don't see it around very often, even though they're pretty comfortable. They're great to wear if you don't want your entire thigh to be covered, but you do want your entire booty to be covered. There's no chance of showing your butt when bending over in these babies.

Discover the mystique and charm of historical garments with our carefully curated inspiration from the medieval era. If you're seeking authenticity for a theme party or costume event, here are some truly renaissance outfit ideas that will transport you back in time. Evoke the spirit of grand festivities with fashion that celebrates tradition and craftsmanship. Embrace a different period, dress up and have fun!

5. Hipsters

Hipsters

Hipsters are the perfect pair of underwear. You can wear them on a date, because they balance between cute and sexy. You can wear them on your period, because they give you enough room to place a pad. You could wear them pretty much anywhere, and it would be appropriate, because this is the most versatile underwear out there.

You should feel comfortable in this type of underwear, because it's just like wearing a typical bathing suit at the beach. After all, that's why it's called bikini underwear! You can even buy bikini underwear without any seams, so that you don't have to worry about pesky panty lines ruining your outfit.

7. High-Cut Briefs

These are another great type of underwear to wear during your period, because it'll make you feel protected all over. You'll have enough room in the crotch for pads. You'll be able to pull it up onto your stomach high enough to feel cozy and warm. They're just all around perfect to wear when Mother Nature is in the mood to torture your uterus.

If you don't own every single type of underwear on this list, it's time to take a trip to the mall. Each of them will come in handy eventually, so it can't hurt to be prepared. What type of underwear do you feel most comfortable strutting around in?

**wear thongs...oops!

I don't think you should worry about panty lines , or what a guy would think, but if it's comfortable or what you want, then go for it

I feel confident in my body. Every women must own these. You just feel powerful and so sexy. ;-)

Wow the last ones are so super sexy!! I usually wear hipsters and bikini and cheeky ones also the shorts-like ones(very comfy)

All of them great

5&7are; my favourites. I usually wear those kind of styles. Paris during the sales is th e best place to buy lingerie. Normal shops like gallerie lafayette is awesome. Try it. I agree the French cut is a bit old fashioned

Us larger ladies prefer to wear full brief knickers.

Really classy

They're all awesome, but French ones are a bit outdated nowadays.

hipsters are cute, but they ride up on the sides :(
