A Guide to Choosing the Right Panties

Knowing how to select the right size in your panties or those for others will ensure that when you are wearing your panties that you will most definitely be more comfortable, than if you have on a pair of panties that is always riding up your buttocks. One method of selecting the size of your panties is one size fits most, which takes more care as fit is extremely important. This applies as well to plus size panties from extra large through three-x, but one size fits most is definitely not one size fits all. One size fits most is a range that runs from size five, six and seven or small, medium and large. Plus size panties are sold for full figured women, but many plus size women can fit into a pair of large panties, depending on the spandex content. When possible, it is best to try on any intimate apparel to ensure its proper fit and it is essential to determine the return policy of the store where you are purchasing panties, because federal regulations prohibit retailers accepting return of panties due to sanitary considerations.

Preferably before trying on panties it is best to decide what style you would like to wear and that style determines coverage. G-strings are among the skimpiest panties available, and they consist of a small swatch of material that covers the pubic region and strings of a stretch material around the waist and between the woman's buttocks. There are those who love and those who hate the idea of wearing g-strings and thongs, which share common features. G-strings hide virtually none of a woman's lower region, thus endearing them to many women and men alike.

They rarely cause visible pantie lines, which is a condition known to strike fear in fashion designers, and women alike. Some women do not like to wear them as they rest high on the hips, and thus can rest on a woman's fat deposits on the hips and result in an unsatisfactory appearance. Thongs are much like g-strings and the terms are often used interchangeably with the primary difference being the amount of fabric in the back or the garment, which usual haves a swatch of material at the upper portion of the back of the garment, but not always.

Boy shorts are referred to as they resemble men's underwear in that they offer fuller coverage than the thong or g-string, but they are a stretch to fit garment. These garments are often worn by women to bed and under garments that may be too short for a woman to feel comfortable wearing a thong or g-string, or no panties at all. Boy shorts often come in a regular and low rise style, with the low rise style being skimpier and a bit sexier. Wearers of boy shorts swear that they are the sexiest pantie made as they hug a woman's body and are often sold with a tanga cut.

Crotchless panties can come in thong, g-string. and boy short cuts, and the attraction to these wildly popular panties is the suggestive and naughty nature of wearing panties that expose a woman's most private part. Panties are a sexy and erotic garment and the style of the pantie can either diminish or increase the erotic nature of the garment. While crotchless panties are clearly one pantie that you either love or hate, and it is hard to deny its erotic meaning.
