you work out at the gym, play tennis, or practice yoga?
Whether you’re training for a marathon or taking salsa lessons,
undies that are specially designed
for active women are a smart choice.

For
intense workouts, opt for womens underwear that offers good coverage and a silicone gripper for a snug fit that stays in place
-
For delicate skin or chafing, take a
look at lingerie undergarment styles in soft cotton or microfiber with covered
elastic or laser edges that won’t irritate
- Opt for breathable fabrics that are designed to wick away moisture and keep you comfortable while you exercise
Ladies Panties for Everyday Wear - Whether
you’re “off duty,” running errands in your favorite jeans or
relaxing at home in yoga pants, no matter which style you
choose, ladies panties that offer a soft and easy fit are a great
choice for everyday wear.
-
Look
for relaxed bikinis, hipster panties, or high cut
briefs in cotton, lightweight nylon, or microfiber with a touch of
spandex for a softer feel
-
Styles with covered elastic along the waistband and legs are a great option for everyday wear
- Opt for a cotton liner that's breathable and super comfortable
Specialty Lingerie Undergarments - From
slim pencil skirts and fitted dress pants to sexy cocktail dresses
and wedding gowns, some styles demand a sleek and
sophisticated look without the dreaded VPL - visible panty lines.

A
thong, tanga, or g string panties will minimize panty lines. Look for panty styles with smooth edges

Panty
girdles and popular shapewear brands like Spanx and Rago offer great
options for a smooth and fitted look that’s second to none
Getting The Right Panty Fit
From
thongs to boy shorts, briefs to bikinis, underwear brands and sizes
can vary from one intimate apparel manufacturer to another, making it
super important to try before you buy to determine how they fit and
more importantly how they feel.
-
Move
around in the dressing room. Stand and reach up. Sit down. Take your time and
make sure the panty style that you've chosen fits comfortably
- The waistband or fit around the leg of your undies should be snug and not too tight. If anything feels too tight or if you notice a roll around your waist, try a larger panty size, or a different style
- If your panties bunch up or won't stay in place, they may be too large. Opt for a smaller size for a smooth and fitted look
