What's the difference between seamless and no-show underwear?

Seamless underwear and no-show underwear are both designed to be invisible under clothes, but there is a key difference between the two. Seamless underwear is made specially to eliminate bulky seams, so the fabric lays flat and smooth against your skin. No-show underwear usually describes styles with raw-cut edges for the ultimate thin, seamless edge.

Why is there a pocket in underwear?

The strip of fabric that lines the crotch on a pair of panties is called a gusset . The gusset can be sewn and bonded shut or left open like a pocket. P.S. All our gussets are made from advanced, anti-microbial fabric.

Q: How do you prevent visible panty lines?

If you want to avoid the dreaded VPL (visible panty lines) ., you have options. Wearing underwear with minimal back coverage like a thong or g-string helps prevent fabric bunching and creating lines. Our best-selling no-show panty collection clings to curves with raw-cut edges to banish visible panty lines, even under your tightest clothes. While it’s a daring move, going commando is also a common way to prevent VPLs. We recommend sticking with commando-friendly clothes for comfort and health like stretchy pants and seamless leggings.

Discover Victoria's Secret Panties

The Victoria's Secret lineup of panties includes almost every type of underwear and silhouette from full coverage boyshorts to cheeky thongs and our signature V-strings. Whether you need seamless panties to wear under a dress, sexy underwear to complete your lingerie look, or comfortable, everyday panties, our wide assortment has something for everyone.

Bikini Panties

Bikini panties are a classic and versatile style that offers both comfort and coverage. They sit low on the hips with a snug fit around the waist and legs, plus a stretchy waistband and smooth edges. Available in a range of fabrics, colors, and prints, Victoria’s Secret bikini panties are a fun, stylish way to update your everyday underwear. From soft, breathable cotton to sexy sheer lace, our bikini panties come in a wide variety.

Brief Underwear

Women’s briefs are another comfortable style that offers full back coverage and good tummy support. Most sit mid or high on the edge of your hips and mid-rise around the rest of your waist and back for complete coverage of the hips and butt. In 2024, we increased the back coverage of every panty style by a half inch so that each pair feels like it really fits, regardless of size. The simple style and ample coverage make them a great choice for everyday wear. Our briefs feature a range of thoughtful design details like a seamless edge to prevent panty lines or a comfortable, wide waistband that stays in place all day.

Boyshorts

Boyshorts are the ultimate full coverage underwear because they cover your hips, butt, and even the tops of your legs. They're designed to mimic the look of men's briefs, creating a comfortable alternative to traditional women’s panties. Boyshort underwear is great to wear all day, under dresses, or to sleep. Choose from mid-rise to high-waisted and from comfy, seamless fabrics and pretty lace options.

Hiphuggers

Hiphugger panties have a unique cut that shares similarities with bikinis and boyshorts. Hiphuggers, aka hipster panties, sit several inches below the waistline to provide targeted coverage and support around your hips. They provide full back coverage like a pair of briefs, but the low to mid-rise fit and special cut shows off your curves.

Cheeky Panties

Cheeky panties are a playful style that offers less coverage around the cheeks. They tend have a low-rise or mid-rise fit on the hips which helps give it that bit of cheek peek. These cute, flirty panties come the full range of materials and styles like everyday cotton and seamless designs, as well as strappy, mesh, and sexy lace.

Thongs and V-Strings

Thongs are a super popular type of panty that offers the least amount of back coverage for a flattering, sexy look. Thongs are usually low-rise to provide minimal coverage in the back, although some options can be high-waisted for tummy control like shapewear thongs.

For those seeking even less coverage, our signature V-strings are a popular alternative to traditional thongs. String panties have a thinner waistband than thongs and even more barely-there coverage in the back, which helps them disappear under tight clothing and give a sexy edge to your lingerie. Whether you prefer classic cotton or lacy, see-through designs, many women prefer the comfort of thongs because you won't experience fabric bunching or visible panty lines.

Brazilian Panties

Brazilian panties are another cheeky style with everyday comfort. They sit low on the hips and provide slightly more coverage than a thong, but less than a traditional bikini. The high-cut leg openings help accentuate your curves. Brazilian panties are perfect for those moments when you want a little more coverage than string panties but still crave a sexy, confident look. Choose from bold colors, fun prints, or classic neutrals to match your mood, and enjoy a fit that moves with you.

Seamless Underwear

Seamless underwear and no-show panties have smooth edges for a sleek finish. Most styles have a low-rise and minimal back coverage for a cheeky look that smooths your silhouette. Find a range of smooth, stretchy materials that mold to your body for a lightweight, barely-there feel.

Shapewear

Shapewear provides targeted support around your stomach, hips, and thighs. Focusing on the midsection and hips, shapewear helps smooth and contour your figure for a sleek and streamlined appearance. Find shorts, thongs, briefs, and bodysuits in a range of nude colors in our shapewear collection. Made from strong and comfortable fabrics, Victoria's Secret shapewear is ideal for all-day wear with your choice of light, medium, and maximum shaping.

What to Know About Underwear & Fabric

Choosing the right fabric can make all the difference in how your underwear feels throughout the day. Cotton is a classic choice known for its breathability and softness, perfect for daily wear and sensitive skin. Lace brings a touch of elegance and femininity, with added stretch for comfort and lightweight feel. Moisture-wicking fabrics can help you stay cool, dry, and comfortable, especially during a workout or in the summer. It helps to have a mix of these options for different occasions.
