PINK has an extensive collection of panties, whether you're shopping for something luxurious or an everyday pair. The range includes an assortment of cute and comfy options in sizes XXS to XXL.
Types of Underwear
Choosing the right pair can be tricky, especially with so many different types of underwear out there. Here's a breakdown of some of the most popular styles to help you choose the best underwear for you.
Bikini Panties
Bikini panties are a classic style of underwear with moderate coverage in the front and back. Bikini panties can be worn with most outfits, whether you're dressing up for a night out or just lounging at home.
Thongs
A minimal coverage panty that features a narrow strip of fabric in the back, thongs are perfect for wearing under tight-fitting clothing like leggings or other workout clothes when you don’t want visible panty lines.
Brazilian Panties
Brazilian panties have a lower cut in front of your pelvis with high-cut, narrow sides and a cheeky back. The unique cut emphasizes both the curve of your hips and the cinch in your waist. The coverage falls somewhere between a thong and a bikini style, so it's comfortable and great under form-fitting outfits.
G-strings
G-strings are known for offering even less coverage than thongs. They have a small triangular piece of fabric in the front, a thin waistband, and string passing between the cheeks. This design is the ultimate choice for avoiding visible panty lines but may not be the best everyday pair because of its minimal coverage.
Cheeky Panties
Slightly more revealing than a traditional brief but still delivering moderate coverage, cheeky panties sit low on the hips making them a great option to wear under sweatpants or low-rise pants.
Hipster Panties (aka Hiphuggers)
A moderate coverage option that’s perfect for everyday wear, hipster panties are designed to sit lower on the hips than traditional bikinis, but higher than other low-rise styles. The design tends to emphasize the curve of your hips, instead of the waist.
Boyshorts
This cute and comfortable style offers more coverage than a bikini or hipster. Boyshorts usually cover the entire hips, cheeks, and even a bit of your legs. They’re perfect for wearing with dresses or skirts for added comfort, or just lounging around the house.
Boxers
Boxer briefs offer the most coverage, usually covering the hips, cheeks, and legs—plus they are typically high-waisted. Boxers may be skin-tight or have a relaxed-fit. Either way, boxers are a great option to wear with pajamas, jeans, or anytime you want comfy coverage.
Period Panties
Engineered with absorbent materials to protect against leaks and stains, period panties are specially designed to provide extra protection during your menstrual cycle.
Lace Panties
Lace panties have a cute, feminine look, and PINK lace panties include blends of super soft Forever Stretch lace that's comfy enough to wear every day. Lace underwear adds a little luxury to your everyday routine.
Cotton Panties
Cotton panties are an absolute go-to for having exceptional comfort and key health benefits. The natural fibers of cotton are super breathable for a cool and fresh feeling throughout the day. It also helps prevent excess moisture and irritation, which means it's great for sensitive skin and everyday use.
No-Show and Seamless Panties
No-show and seamless panties are made for better comfort and minimal panty lines. Panties with a seamless edge lie flat against your skin and eliminate any hard edges that could irritate sensitive skin and create lines.
How to Wash Underwear
All underwear should be washed after every use. Check for any special instructions on the garment tag first, but in most cases, you can wash PINK underwear in a machine and dryer like normal. It's ideal to wash items in cold water and use a mild detergent to preserve the softness and elasticity of the fabric. For delicate underwear, like lace panties, consider placing them in a mesh laundry bag first to protect them during the wash cycle.
A few definitive underwear styles include: bikinis, thongs, Brazilians, g-strings, cheekies, hipsters/hiphuggers, boyshorts, boxers, no shows, and period panties.
The number of panties you should own depends on how often you do laundry. It's best to wear a new pair of underwear every day, so calculate how many days you usually have between laundry day and a few additional pairs for emergencies. For most women, the number tends to be 15-20 pairs of underwear.
Replacing underwear generally comes down to personal preference. Underwear does not have an expiration date, and most prefer to replace them when there are visible signs of wear and tear like rips, stains, or holes. Just make sure to wear a new pair every day and wash after every use for good hygiene.
