We’ve all experienced it: the struggle of choosing between looking fabulous in a form-fitting dress or avoiding panty lines that awkwardly disrupt the look of our favorite jeans. So, we reach for a thong or G-string, telling ourselves, “This isn’t so bad.”
Sure, lacy underwear looks gorgeous stacked in our drawers, color-coordinated with matching bras, and we can’t help but indulge. Before long, our underwear collection resembles a rainbow, and we convince ourselves that these new frilly pieces are the key to a more exciting life.
Then we catch a glimpse of ourselves in the mirror, feeling liberated with nothing between our rear and the fabric of our clothing. “These feel great! I feel sexy! Why did I ever ditch my comfy briefs for these?” we think—until reality hits.
After a few steps, we feel the fabric digging into sensitive areas, and suddenly it’s as if the thong is trying to become part of us. The irritation can quickly turn our mood from free and fabulous to frustrated and uncomfortable. Yes, thongs can be a leading source of unwanted irritation, prompting many to return to the cozy embrace of classic briefs, which offer sweet relief.
You’re not alone in this realization, and here’s the exciting news: the era of ultra-revealing underwear seems to be waning. According to Glamour, market research from NPD indicates that thong sales have dropped by 7% over the past year, while sales of briefs and boy shorts have surged by 17%. Can I get a halle-freakin’-lujah?
It’s time to embrace the comfort of full-coverage underwear and bid adieu to chafing. Just imagine slipping into your favorite jeans and enjoying the bliss of cotton that stays in place without any adjustments needed.
As mom jeans make a stylish return, there’s no need to squeeze into tiny, low-cut panties to hide beneath low-waisted denim. You can choose to go high in the underwear department while still feeling sexy.
Take a look at this stunning pair—there’s no reason you can’t feel good and maintain comfort on date night. And let’s be real, high-cut pairs reminiscent of the ‘90s have a certain charm that’s hard to resist. Plus, the cleanup is likely to be much easier than fumbling with a thong that seems to have a mind of its own.
That said, we’re not suggesting you ditch the thong entirely; they can pop up now and again for those special moments. But it’s refreshing to know that there are ample options available to suit all body types, preferences, and moods.
Ultimately, you do what feels best for you. Personally, I think pairing boy shorts with a little black dress sounds appealing. Plus, who wouldn’t appreciate the ease of movement without all that excess fabric getting in the way?
While trends may come and go, it’s validating to see a shift back towards comfort. Many are opting for “granny panties,” affectionately termed passion killers, over the minuscule styles that can be tucked away in a bottle cap. Seriously, no one wants to feel like their underwear is fighting for attention the moment they step out the door.
