Hi all,
We women do not pay attention to or shop for Ladies Underwear as much as we should. We forget that our underwear is more important than our outerwear and that we need to pay equal attention to our underwear closet.
Ladies should give equal importance to their undergarments as well. When you shop for underwear, you probably direct most of your attention to the cut, colour, and style. But there’s something more important to take into account: how healthy it is for your vagina.
While the average pair of panties will get you through the day, repeatedly wearing certain types can set you up for itching and skin irritation, as well as make it more likely that you develop a vaginal infection. Even the sexiest underwear isn’t worth that. Next time you hit the underwear aisle, here are some points to consider.
Let’s see What are the best Fabrics for Ladies Underwear in the post.
The general guideline is to make sure the pairs you wear on the regular feel comfortable.
Buy underwear that makes you feel good and that’s comfortable. Be honest about the size that’s right for you, too. If your underwear is too tight, you can cause vaginal and vulva irritation.
If lacy, frilly, or underwear with ruffles is your personal preference, hear us out. While lingerie with all the trimmings is fine to wear for the occasional sexy evening, the synthetic fabrics these are typically made with can trigger redness, especially if you wear them often or for too long.
The same goes for thongs. While science hasn’t shown that thongs are all bad, if you’re wearing one that’s too tight or you have synthetic or irritating fabric wedged into your butt cheeks, it could lead to chafing which can lead to a skin infection.
In general, synthetic materials like nylon, polyester, and spandex trap heat and moisture, while cotton is breathable and wicks away moisture. Not only will you feel comfier in cotton, but excess heat and moisture are the conditions yeast thrive in. To ensure that your thongs are vagina-friendly, buy brands that make the thong part 100% cotton, if not the entire garment.
Types of Ladies Underwear
Seamless panties do not have a thick border and come in really soft fabrics like satin, silk, jersey or blends. They come in all types – like hipsters, French cuts, high-waisted, etc. and are for women who are not comfortable with the idea of thongs or G-strings.
When to Wear These – White jeans, shorts, trousers, bodycon dresses or skirts, etc.
Boy shorts are a feminine version of men’s boxers. These are rectangular and provide full coverage to your booty. They go a little below your hip, unlike your regular panties.
When to Wear – Wear these with skirts, trousers, or just about anything that can be replaced as an every day essential if you are comfortable. If they are seamless, you can wear them under formal skirts and dresses too.
Hipsters are a mix between bikini and boy shorts. The waistband goes around your hip, and they sit lower on your body when compared to your regular briefs. They are taut and body-hugging, give you good coverage, and come with bikini-like leg holes. An interesting choice for women who prefer bikini style but for regular use.
When to Wear – Any Outfit.
Thongs are unconventional when we talk about underwear in a practical sense. However, they are one of the most sought-after undies for most women as we do not have to worry about the party line with this one. Thongs come with a waistband like your regular panties but have a very narrow string that runs from the front to the rear.
When to Wear – Swimwear, shorts, white jeans, dresses, etc.
If you are used to thongs, G-strings must be familiar too. These are a fancier variant of your thongs and have no waistband. They have thin strings instead of the regular waistband and a very narrow coverage for the panty line.
When to Wear – Swimwear, shorts, white jeans, dresses, etc.
A lot of women do not like the extra flab that bulges out when they wear low lying panties, so high-waisted briefs are their best friends. They give you good coverage, sit above your belly button, provide shape to your body, and are incredibly comfortable.
When to Wear – Any Outfit.
Bikini panties are part of the swimwear segment. They come in soft, flowing fabrics like lace, satin, silk, jersey, etc. and provide you with moderate coverage. They are a mix between your regular briefs and a thong, and your options are endless. These can be paired with two-piece bikini sets.
When to Wear – As a bikini pair.
Briefs are what they mean when they say underwear. A standard soft and comfortable panty that works best as an everyday essential for women. The waistband rests on or a little below your belly button. If you want something with better coverage, go for the high-waisted briefs that we just discussed.
When to Wear – Any Outfit.
French cut panties are a slightly different variant of your briefs. They provide you with similar coverage. The waistband sits on your belly button, but the leg holes are near the hip, and thus do not provide full coverage to your hips.
When to Wear – Any Outfit.
Choosing the right fabric for your lingerie is very important. Let’s look at the types of fabrics available in underwear.
1. Cotton
Cotton is the most common and breathable fabric for panties, plus it is also the most preferred. It’s perfect for everyday use, and you will see that all your regular briefs are usually made of pure cotton. These are best for summers, workouts, and for daily use.

2. Lace
Lace is used for your fancy lingerie. These are light, transparent, and seamless too. Since it is very flimsy and thin, it’s not very suitable for winters, unless you wear enough layers. However, buy from standard brands because lace can cause irritation and itching if it’s not of good quality.
3. Satin
Satin is smooth, soft, and a luxury for your skin. These are perfect for lounging, as lingerie or when you want to pamper yourself a little.
4. MulMul Cotton
Mul cotton is a cotton blend, but softer and slightly thicker than your cotton. Mul is not very breathable, but extremely light and soft on your skin. Best for everyday use.
5. Silk
Silk is also mostly used for making lingerie and fancy panties, or by brands that make everyday panties interesting. It sits on your skin seamlessly and feels almost weightless.
6. Jersey
Jersey material is usually a blend of polyester and nylon. It is waterproof, and perfect for the pool, beach vacations, bikinis, etc.
1. Know Your Size – Measure your waist and hip size before you go shopping so that you can map it accordingly. Every brand has different sizes, and they change with the type, so this is important.
2. Know What Type To Buy – Not all panties suit all personality types, so depending on your body type, season, etc. choose the right panty for you.
When you’re choosing underwear, style shouldn’t be your only concern. Some types of panties are just plain better for you than others, and it largely depends on the circumstances in which you’re wearing them. By planning ahead, you can ensure that you wear panties that don’t leave you at risk for uncomfortable health complications.

Very informative and detailed post on women inner wear. I am not even sure many are aware of all these varieties and fabrics. Thanks for writing and sharing this post.
Very detailed post. Wearing the right cut, size and material makes a huge difference. Often ignored but important topic.
this was very informative & enlightening
thanks for the tips and tricks shared.
my mom and sister would love this!
As much as this is a great post, I don't think I would have enough confidence to use this to buy underwear for a significant other. Those are all interesting cuts there.
Those are cute undies. I am into bikini style undies. They are comfy and hubby prefers them too.
I like seamless for when I wear dresses and leggings. Shorts are dead comfy. Not really a fan of thongs or g strings but wear them occasionally.
I just so love the topic, It was so damn insightful and helpful too, undergarments undoubtedly is a topic that a lot of people hardly talk about, I am definitely sharing this post with my friends!
Very little is spoken about this topic. Good to read the post. While I find hipsters the most comfortable, I think briefs are equally good.
Wow that is really quite an exhaustive post on women’s underwear. I personally prefer to wear briefs as I find them most comfortable.
Seamless and hipster are my favorite ones. Even I like the high waisted briefs , they effortlessly hide all the bulges around the waist.
