Lace, cotton or invisible women's briefs

The women's thong is the most discreet underwear: invisible and seamless under tight trousers, lace for a feminine touch, cotton for comfort. The tanga, which offers more coverage, is the intermediate version. Among the brands available are: Guess, Triumph, Passionata, Freya and Chantelle.

A seamless thong in skin colour remains invisible under white trousers or a fitted dress.

Why choose a thong?

The women's thong leaves no lines under form-fitting clothes: tight trousers, knitted dresses, pencil skirts. It's also worn for comfort once you get used to it.

Thong, tanga or panties: what's the difference?

The thong has a back that is reduced to a thin strip. The tanga covers a bit more at the back while still being cheeky: it's a good compromise for beginners. Panties provide full coverage.

What material should you choose for a thong?

Cotton is breathable and suitable for sensitive skin. Smooth microfibre is the most discreet. Lace is dressy, but a cotton lining at the gusset is healthier.

What thong to wear under which outfit?

Under tight trousers or a knitted dress, opt for a skin-coloured seamless thong; under a flowy skirt, choose a cotton or lace thong depending on your mood.

How to choose the right size for a thong?

A thong that's too small pinches the hips and digs in; too large, it slips down. The size guide for each brand corresponds with your hip measurement. A wide band shows less than a thin string.

How to care for a lace thong?

Wash a lace thong by hand or on a delicate cycle, in a wash bag, at 30°C, and lay it flat to dry. The tumble dryer damages lace and elastics.

Frequently asked questions

Is the thong comfortable?

Once the right size is found, many women forget they are wearing it. A soft material and wide band make the thong more comfortable.

What thong under white trousers?

A skin-coloured thong, without seams or lace. White stands out more under white than nude.

How to start with thongs?

Begin with a tanga, which provides more coverage, then move to a thong. Choose a soft cotton for the initial wear.

String or classic thong?

The string has sides reduced to a thin strip: more discreet, it can sometimes dig into the hips more. The classic thong with a wide band is generally more comfortable.
