G-Strings

These are skimpiest of undies for sure, but they come in handy when you want to rock a tight bodycon dress or some leggings.

Control Briefs

There's no shame in needing a little extra suction. Make sure you have a pair of reliable control briefs that will keep you secure all night long. Also, I think it should be noted that these panties are getting a makeover and becoming super sexy!

Looking for a little extra coverage for under your skirt? Or maybe you're rocking a mesh jumpsuit like Kim K. and need something to cover everything underneath. If that's the case, you need to make sure you have some briefs on hand.

Nude Panties

Before you buy that cute pair of white jeans, make sure you have a pair of no-show nude undies to wear underneath.

Hitting the gym or wearing some tight bottoms? You'll definitely need a pair of seamless no-show panties for those.

Turn up the romance with a pair of lace or mesh underwear. Have your pick of cut and color because these bad boys will never dissapoint.

Thong

Thongs may be uncomfortable, but they should still be in your arsenal. They'll help you rock almost any dress or pair of bottoms and keep you from showing any VPL (visible panty lines).
