Did You Know?

It takes more than 27 meters (30 yards) of thread to make one of their world-famous thongs.

How To Wear Thongs

What if you've never worn a thong before or would like to know what you can wear them with?  We're glad you asked!

Thongs are a versatile undie. They're perfect for your form-fitted favorites and just about any type of clothing.

They can be worn with everything from bodycon styles and skinny jeans, to yoga pants, skirts and evening gowns and more.

The icing on the cake with this type of panty? No more worries about pesky visible panty lines.

A potential pitfall of thongs? There are two things to keep in mind. 

  • The first - if you're wearing a super sheer skirt, pants or dress, there may be derriere show-through
  • The second - they offer minimal backside coverage - much less than regular full-coverage undies. And, they may take some getting used to if you’ve never worn this type of panty before

Bikini Panties

If you want a panty that’s lightweight and offers more coverage in the rear, but not as much as a full brief, bikini panties are a great choice. 

Fancy or casual, Hanky Panky offers a range of comfy natural, mid,  high rise and crotchless bikini panties.

We like the Signature Lace Brazilian Bikini panty - style 482102. It sits below the belly button and is narrow along the hips. 

This style is available in sizes XSmall to Large.

  • XSmall fits 0 through 2 (hips 34" to 35")
  • Small fits 4 through 6 (hips 36" to 37")
  • Medium fits 8 through 10 (hips 38" to 39")
  • Large fits 12 (hips 40" to 43")
Low Rise Bikini

How To Wear Bikini Underwear

What can bikini panties be worn with? Just about everything in your closet.

Originally designed for low rise styles such as low slung pants, this cheeky favorite is also great for jeans, casual wear, dresses, skirts and even workout wear.

The flip side of low cut panties?

  • They tend to provide less coverage than fuller styles like briefs or boyshorts
  • And, they may not always be the best choice for form fitted clothing, as they can show visible panty lines

Boy Shorts

Looking for undies that are chic with a hint of trendy?

Similar to men's boxer briefs but more tailored for a feminine silhouette, boy shorts offer excellent coverage and sit comfortably at the hip.

There are two styles that we like -

  • Signature Lace Boyshort Panties, style 4812. This is a mid-rise, low leg panty
  • Dream Modal Boyshorts, style 631274. This is a mid-rise panty with medium rear coverage in stretchy modal spandex with lace trim 

Sizing is more tailored with Hanky Panky boyshorts. Both styles are available in XS through XL.

  • XS fits 0 through 2 (hips 34" to 35")
  • Small fits 4 through 6 (hips 36" to 37")
  • Medium fits 8 through 10 (hips 38" to 39")
  • Large fits 12 (hips 40" to 43")
  • XLarge fits 14 (hips 44" to 46")
Boy Short Panties

How To Wear Boy Shorts

Hanky Panky boyshorts have the sexy aesthetic of modern styling with a famous stay-in-place fit that wearers rave about.

A flexible favorite that's great with low rise styles, this popular Hanky Panky underwear can also be paired with your dresses, skirts, yoga wear, jeans and pants.

Another way that we like to wear boy short panties? We add a matching lace cami or tank top for a comfy and fun sleepwear set.

Lace Boyshorts

When it comes to minuses, there aren’t many -

  • Boy shorts aren’t ideal for super tight clothing as they may show through
  • If you’re used to wearing skimpier styles such as thongs or g string panties, they may feel a bit bulky at first
