Feeling overwhelmed by the endless underwear options in stores and online? You're not alone. With countless styles, fabrics, construction methods, and special features available today, finding underwear that perfectly balances comfort, function, and style can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Women's underwear comes in various categories including different styles (briefs, bikinis, thongs, boyshorts), fabrics (natural vs. synthetic), construction methods (seamless, cut-and-sew, bonded), and purpose-specific designs (everyday, athletic, period, shapewear). The best choice depends on your body shape, outfit needs, comfort preferences, and specific activities.

At HAVING, we've spent years perfecting our underwear designs across our 3000+ stores. With annual sales exceeding 30 million USD, we've learned that underwear is far more complex than most people realize. Our body-before-fabric philosophy has taught us that the perfect underwear isn't just about looking good—it's about feeling confident, comfortable, and supported throughout your day. Let me walk you through everything you need to know about women's underwear to help you make the best choices for your body and lifestyle.

What Are the Main Style Categories of Women's Underwear?

When I first started in the lingerie manufacturing business in Shantou City, I was amazed by the sheer variety of underwear styles available. Each serves a specific purpose and suits different body types, outfits, and occasions.

Women's underwear styles range from full-coverage options like briefs and boyshorts to minimal coverage styles like thongs and G-strings. Each style is designed with specific benefits in mind, whether it's providing support, eliminating visible panty lines, or enhancing comfort for different activities and outfits.

At our HAVING factory, we produce over 20 different underwear styles. Let me break down the most popular ones and explain when each works best.

Full Coverage Styles

Classic Briefs

Classic briefs are the workhorses of the underwear world. They feature:

Full front and back coverage
A waistband that sits at or slightly below the natural waist
Comfortable leg openings that don't ride up
Excellent support for everyday activities

I've found that our customers who prioritize comfort above all else often prefer classic briefs. They're particularly popular among women who want reliable coverage without having to adjust their underwear throughout the day.

High-Waisted Briefs

High-waisted briefs have made a significant comeback in recent years, and at HAVING, we've expanded our high-waisted collection to meet growing demand. These feature:

A waistband that extends to the natural waist or even higher
Full coverage in the back
A vintage-inspired look with modern comfort
Light tummy control without the discomfort of shapewear

These are perfect for wearing under high-waisted pants, skirts, or dresses. Many of our customers also appreciate how they don't dig into the waist like lower-rise styles might.

Control Briefs

Control briefs take the supportive nature of regular briefs to the next level:

Firmer, more structured fabric for shaping
Higher waistbands for tummy control
Strategic seaming for a smoother silhouette
Reinforced panels in areas that benefit from extra support

At our factory in Guangdong Province, we use specialized elastic materials in our control briefs that provide firm support without sacrificing comfort or breathability.

Boyshorts

Inspired by men's boxer briefs but designed specifically for the female form, boyshorts offer:

Extended coverage along the upper thigh
Full back coverage
A sporty, modern aesthetic
Minimal riding up compared to other styles

These are particularly popular among our younger customers and those looking for comfortable sleepwear or loungewear options. The extended leg coverage also makes them ideal for preventing thigh chafing in warmer weather.

Moderate Coverage Styles

Hipsters

Hipsters sit lower on the hips than briefs and provide moderate coverage:

A waistband that sits 2-3 inches below the natural waist
Coverage that fully encompasses the buttocks
Modern silhouette that works well with low-rise bottoms
Comfortable fit that doesn't create visible lines at the hips

In our HAVING stores, hipsters are consistently bestsellers because they strike the perfect balance between coverage and style. They're particularly flattering on women with wider hips as they sit perfectly on the hip bone.

Bikini Underwear

Bikini underwear is inspired by bikini swimwear bottoms and features:

A waistband that sits at the hip bones
Moderate back coverage
Higher-cut leg openings than briefs
A versatile style that works with most outfits

This style has been a staple in our collections for years because it's so versatile. The moderate coverage and comfortable fit make it suitable for almost any occasion or outfit.

Cheeky Underwear

Cheeky underwear, as the name suggests, reveals a bit more of the buttocks:

Coverage that sits between a bikini and a thong
A playful, flirtatious look
Reduced visible panty lines compared to full-coverage styles
Comfortable for everyday wear while still being stylish

This style has grown increasingly popular at HAVING as more women seek options that feel feminine and fun without the minimal coverage of a thong.

Minimal Coverage Styles

Thongs

Thongs are characterized by their minimal back coverage:

A thin strip of fabric (the "string") between the buttocks
Full front coverage
Elimination of visible panty lines
Various waistband heights from low to high

At our factory, we've perfected the art of creating comfortable thongs by using soft, flexible materials and ensuring the perfect fit. The key is finding a thong that doesn't feel too tight or too loose.

G-Strings

G-strings take the minimal coverage concept even further:

The barest minimum of fabric in the back
A thin string waistband
Virtually invisible under any clothing
Often chosen for special occasions or intimate moments

While not everyone's everyday choice, G-strings serve a specific purpose in eliminating any trace of underwear lines under the most form-fitting clothes.

Tanga

The tanga style sits between a cheeky and a thong:

More coverage than a thong but less than cheeky styles
Often features decorative elements on the sides
Reduced visible panty lines
A popular choice in South American countries

We've introduced more tanga styles in our HAVING collections as global fashion influences continue to shape underwear preferences.

Hi-Cut/French Cut

Hi-cut underwear, also known as French cut, features:

High-cut leg openings that extend above the hip bone
Moderate to full back coverage
A leg line that elongates the appearance of the legs
A retro-inspired look that's come back into fashion

This style is particularly flattering for shorter women as the high-cut leg creates the illusion of longer legs.

What Fabrics Are Used in Women's Underwear?

The material of your underwear significantly impacts comfort, durability, breathability, and even health. At HAVING, we carefully select fabrics that promote comfort while maintaining shape and support.

Natural Fabrics

Cotton

Cotton remains the gold standard for everyday underwear:

Highly breathable allowing air circulation
Naturally moisture-wicking
Soft against the skin
Durable and easy to care for
Hypoallergenic and suitable for sensitive skin

In our cotton underwear collections, we use premium long-staple cotton that maintains its softness even after multiple washes.

Organic Cotton

Organic cotton takes the benefits of regular cotton to the next level:

Grown without harmful pesticides or chemicals
Environmentally sustainable production
Often softer than conventional cotton
Ideal for those with chemical sensitivities or ethical concerns

At HAVING, we've seen growing demand for organic options as customers become more environmentally conscious.

Silk

Silk offers unparalleled luxury in underwear:

Exceptionally smooth and soft against the skin
Natural temperature regulation properties
Lightweight and comfortable
Naturally hypoallergenic
Luxurious appearance and feel

While more delicate and requiring special care, silk underwear remains popular for special occasions and those seeking premium comfort.

Bamboo

Bamboo fabric has gained popularity for underwear due to its:

Exceptional softness, often compared to cashmere
Natural antibacterial properties
Excellent moisture-wicking abilities
Sustainable and eco-friendly production
Breathability and temperature regulation

We've incorporated bamboo blends in several of our collections at HAVING to offer customers the benefits of this innovative natural fiber.

Merino Wool

Though less common, merino wool underwear offers unique benefits:

Superior temperature regulation
Moisture-wicking without feeling damp
Odor-resistant properties
Soft and non-itchy unlike traditional wool
Ideal for athletic activities or cold weather

Our premium lines include merino wool options for customers seeking performance benefits with natural materials.

Synthetic Fabrics

Nylon

Nylon is widely used in underwear manufacturing for its:

Exceptional durability and strength
Smooth, silky feel against the skin
Quick-drying properties
Excellent elasticity and shape retention
Lightweight nature

At our Shantou factory, we often blend nylon with other fibers to create underwear that combines durability with comfort.

Polyester

Polyester is valued in underwear production for its:

Excellent color retention
Wrinkle resistance
Durability and longevity
Quick-drying capabilities
Affordability

While not as breathable as natural fibers, modern polyester blends have improved significantly in comfort and performance.

Spandex/Elastane/Lycra

These elastic fibers (different brand names for similar materials) are rarely used alone but are crucial in underwear for:

Stretch and recovery
Shape retention
Comfortable fit that moves with the body
Durability through multiple wears and washes
Support without constriction

At HAVING, we typically use 5-10% spandex in our underwear designs to provide the perfect balance of stretch and support.

Microfiber

Microfiber is a fine synthetic fiber that offers:

Ultra-soft feel against the skin
Excellent moisture-wicking properties
Lightweight and breathable nature
Durability and resistance to pilling
Smooth appearance under clothing

Our microfiber collections are particularly popular for athletic wear and seamless styles.

Modal

Modal is a semi-synthetic fiber made from beech tree pulp that provides:

Exceptional softness and drape
Better breathability than fully synthetic fibers
Excellent moisture absorption
Resistance to shrinkage and fading
Eco-friendly production compared to many synthetics

We've found that modal underwear is particularly popular among customers seeking the softness of natural fibers with the durability of synthetics.

What Construction Methods Are Used for Women's Underwear?

The way underwear is constructed significantly impacts its comfort, appearance, and functionality. At HAVING, we employ various construction methods depending on the intended use and style of the underwear.

Cut-and-Sew

This traditional construction method involves:

Cutting fabric pieces according to patterns
Sewing the pieces together with visible seams
Creating structured designs with defined panels
Allowing for complex designs and decorative elements
Providing durability and structure

Most of our classic styles at HAVING use this time-tested construction method, which allows for precise fitting and detailed design elements.

Seamless Knitting

Seamless underwear is created using specialized circular knitting machines:

No side seams for a smooth appearance under clothing
Reduced risk of chafing and irritation
One-piece construction for comfort
Laser-cut edges that don't dig into skin
Perfect for form-fitting outerwear

Our seamless underwear line has grown significantly as more customers seek invisible underwear solutions for modern, form-fitting clothing.

Bonded Construction

Bonded underwear uses heat and adhesive rather than traditional stitching:

Pieces are fused together without visible seams
Creates an ultra-smooth silhouette
Virtually invisible under clothing
Eliminates bulk from traditional seams
Modern, technical appearance

This high-tech construction method is used in our premium invisible underwear collections.

Molded

Molded underwear (particularly common in bras but also used in some panty styles):

Uses heat to shape the fabric into three-dimensional forms
Creates seamless cups or panels
Provides structure without seams
Offers consistent shape and support
Smooth appearance under clothing

We use molding techniques in our shapewear and some of our more supportive underwear styles.

Dot Glue Construction

This innovative technique uses:

Small dots of silicone or similar adhesive
Strategic placement to hold edges in place

Our luxury invisible underwear line features this cutting-edge construction method for the ultimate no-show experience.

How to Choose the Right Underwear for Your Body Type?

Understanding your body shape is essential for selecting the most flattering and comfortable underwear styles. At HAVING, we believe that the right underwear should enhance your natural shape while providing comfort and confidence.

For Pear-Shaped Bodies

If your hips are wider than your shoulders:

Boyshorts highlight curves in a flattering way
High-waisted styles create balance
Bikinis with side details draw attention upward
Avoid string bikinis that can dig into wider hips

Many of our customers with pear-shaped figures find these recommendations help them feel their best.

If you carry weight around your midsection:

High-waisted briefs provide support and smoothing
Control briefs offer gentle shaping
Avoid low-rise styles that may roll down
Look for wide waistbands that won't dig in

Bikinis showcase your naturally balanced proportions

Thongs eliminate panty lines under fitted clothing
Almost any style works well—choose based on coverage preference

Hourglass figures have the most flexibility in choosing styles that work for their proportions.

Cheeky styles add curves and dimension

How to Care for Different Types of Underwear?

Proper care extends the life of your underwear and maintains its comfort and appearance. At HAVING, we provide care instructions tailored to different materials and construction methods.

For Cotton and Natural Fibers

To maintain the integrity of natural fabrics:

Wash in cold water to prevent shrinking
Use mild detergents free from harsh chemicals
Avoid bleach which can weaken fibers
Air dry when possible or use low heat settings
Turn inside out before washing to protect decorative elements

These simple steps will help your natural fiber underwear last longer and stay comfortable.

For Synthetic Fabrics

To preserve the performance of synthetic materials:

Wash in cold or lukewarm water
Avoid fabric softeners which can reduce moisture-wicking properties
Use gentle cycle to prevent damage to elastic
Air dry or tumble dry on low heat
Wash after each wear to prevent odor buildup

Proper care ensures your synthetic underwear maintains its shape and performance properties.

For Delicate Materials and Embellishments

To protect special pieces:

Hand wash or use lingerie bags in the washing machine
Use specialized lingerie wash or mild detergent
Never wring or twist which can damage delicate fabrics
Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight
Store flat or hanging to maintain shape

These extra steps are worth it to preserve your most special underwear pieces.

For Shapewear and Compression Garments

To maintain the supportive properties:

Hand wash when possible to preserve elasticity
Never use bleach or harsh detergents
Avoid hot water which can break down elastic fibers
Air dry flat to maintain shape
Rotate between multiple pairs to allow elastic recovery

Proper care ensures your shapewear continues to provide the support and shaping you need.

General Care Tips

For all underwear types:

Replace underwear every 6-12 months for optimal hygiene
Inspect regularly for signs of wear like stretched elastic or holes
Sort by color and fabric type before washing
Consider using mesh laundry bags to protect delicate items
Follow manufacturer's care instructions for best results

At HAVING, we believe that quality underwear deserves proper care to maximize its lifespan and performance.

From various styles and fabrics to construction methods and purpose-specific designs, there's truly something for every body, outfit, and occasion. Understanding these differences empowers you to make choices that enhance your comfort, confidence, and style.

At HAVING, our 30 million USD annual sales across 3000+ stores reflect our commitment to creating underwear that follows our body-before-fabric philosophy.

By considering your unique body shape, lifestyle needs, and personal preferences, you can build an underwear collection that truly serves you in every situation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How many pairs of underwear should a woman own?

Most experts recommend having 14-21 pairs of underwear, allowing for a fresh pair daily with some extras for laundry cycles. At HAVING, we suggest having different styles for different outfit needs—perhaps 7-10 everyday pairs, 3-5 athletic pairs, 3-5 seamless/no-show pairs, and a few special occasion pieces.

How often should women replace their underwear?

For hygiene purposes, underwear should ideally be replaced every 6-12 months, even if it still looks good. Elastic deteriorates over time, and fabrics can harbor bacteria even after washing. Signs it's time for replacement include stretched waistbands, faded colors, thinning fabric, or any discomfort.

What's the healthiest underwear fabric for everyday wear?

Cotton and organic cotton are generally considered the healthiest options for everyday wear due to their breathability and hypoallergenic properties. At HAVING, our cotton gussets (even in synthetic styles) help maintain proper airflow and reduce moisture buildup that can lead to infections.

Should underwear be tight or loose?

Underwear should be snug enough to stay in place but not so tight that it leaves marks on your skin or causes discomfort. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably under the waistband. Too-loose underwear can bunch up and cause chafing, while too-tight underwear can restrict circulation and cause discomfort.

Are thongs bad for your health?

When made from breathable materials and worn in the correct size, thongs are not inherently unhealthy. However, those prone to infections may prefer styles with more coverage. At HAVING, our thongs feature cotton gussets to maintain breathability in the most sensitive areas, and we recommend limiting thong wear to 8-10 hours at a time.

What's the best underwear for working out?

The best workout underwear features moisture-wicking, quick-drying fabrics with seamless construction to prevent chafing. Look for styles with secure waistbands that won't roll down during movement and antimicrobial properties to prevent odor buildup. Our sports collection at HAVING is specifically engineered with these features in mind.

How do I prevent visible panty lines?

To prevent visible panty lines (VPL), opt for seamless styles, thongs, or G-strings. Laser-cut edges and bonded construction also help create a smooth silhouette under clothing. Choosing underwear in a color close to your skin tone can also make any lines less noticeable under light-colored clothing.
