It used to be that when it came to panties, women had to either choose between comfort and sex appeal. If you wanted to be comfortable, you’d have to go with something that provided full-coverage, yet wasn’t exactly appealing, like a pair of briefs or boy shorts, and if you were trying to be sexy, you’d have to opt for something that left little to the imagination, like a thong.
But what if you want something that falls somewhere in between? Something that provides more coverage and support than a skimpy, lacy thong, but that’s more seductive and sexier than a pair of briefs or boy shorts? At one time, you may have been out of luck; however, today, that’s changed, thanks to cheeky panties!
Cheeky panties are a relatively new style of women’s panties and they have become all the rage – for good reason! With a cut that’s a cross between the classic bikini and the racier thongs, cheeky undies are stylish, sophisticated, versatile, functional, and comfortable.
Looking to add something new and exciting to your underwear drawer and find the aforementioned description intriguing? Keep on reading to learn more about cheeky panties and to determine if they’re the right choice for you.
Cheeky Panties Explained
As mentioned above, cheeky panties are a cross between traditional bikinis and thongs. Their cut and rise is what makes them similar to bikinis, and the back, which cuts up bum, leaving just the lower portion of the cheeks exposed, is the feature that likens them to thongs. In other words, the front and sides provide more modest coverage, and the back offers more seductive appeal.
In other words, the fabric across the bum is narrower than more traditional briefs, boy shorts, or even bikinis, but the front provides much more coverage than thongs. It’s because of the cheekiness of these undies (quite literally, as they leave the bottom portion of your tooshie cheeks exposed) that they’re referred to as “cheeky panties”.
What to Know About Cheeky Panties
If you’ve never worn or heard of cheeky panties before, but they sound appealing to you, here’s a look at some important things that you should know about this incredibly popular style of women’s panties.
Sexy, yet comfortable
When you’re shopping for underwear, comfort is probably one of your first priorities, yet you may also want your undies to be a little sexier than the large pieces of fabric that bikinis, briefs, or boy shorts are made of. Thongs are certainly sexy, but for most women, they’re anything but comfortable. Cheeky panties can be both! Because they offer more coverage in the front and on the sides, and since they don’t completely ride up the bottom, they’re much more comfortable than thongs; however, since there’s less fabric along the back, they allow the very bottom of the bum cheeks to peek out, which certainly adds sex appeal.
They’re flattering
Want to enhance your figure but dread the idea of wearing super-restrictive shapewear that makes you feel suffocated? If so, then cheeky panties may be the perfect solution for you. The placement of the seams of these undies meets with the cheeks of your bum at the ideal location, giving them just the right lift. The front features a V-cut, which creates the illusion of longer legs and can even make you look leaner. Because of these two elements, cheeky panties are super flattering and can accentuate all body types.
Non-restrictive
There is nothing worse than wearing a pair of undies that make you feel restricted. If they’re too tight, or if they ride up on a regular basis, you’ll feel as if you’re trapped in your undergarments and you’ll have to readjust constantly. Cheeky panties are far less restrictive than thongs, which makes them ideal for a broad range of activities, such as yoga, running, the elliptical machine, dancing; pretty much anything. Because they won’t fight against you and instead will move with your body, you’ll have much more freedom to move about with ease.
They’re great with jeans
If you’ve ever worn a thong with a pair of jeans, well, we don’t have to tell you how uncomfortable that can be. Denim is thick, dense, and doesn’t move freely, which means that they can be scratched against your nude bum cheeks. If jeans are your favorite pants and you love the sexiness that thongs provide, to forego any discomfort, try cheek panties instead. They feature enough fabric to provide a layer of protection from your jean’s seams, yet there isn’t so much fabric that you need to be worried about showing off visible panty lines. With cheeky panties, you’ll be able to walk, jog, climb, bend, and sit without having to worry about the sight lines of your underwear.
More supportive
If the sex appeal of thongs leaves your bum cheeks feeling like they aren’t supported, cheeky panties are an excellent choice. There’s just enough fabric across the back to hold your butt cheeks, so you’ll feel way more supported than you would if you were wearing thongs, and they’ll even give your cheeks a little bit of boost. And, since there aren't gobs of fabric, they won’t create obvious pant lines or unsightly bulges.
They’re flirty and fun
The name isn’t the only thing that’s flirty and fun about this style of women’s undies; cheeky panties actually are flirty and fun! They show off just enough skin for a tease, yet the material along the bum leaves some of your bum to the imagination. The flirty appeal along the rear and the modest coverage in the front makes these panties the perfect choice for some fun in between the sheets. And if you aren’t planning on showing them off, you’ll feel totally feminine and fun knowing that you’re wearing them on your bottom, even when you’re fully dressed.
Final Thoughts
With cheeky undies, you really can feel comfortable and sexy at the same time! These trendy new panties are a great addition to any woman’s wardrobe, and with so many color and style options to choose from, you’ll be sure to find something that really speaks to your taste and reflects your personal style.
