Panties & You: Getting to Know the Types

You're not going to find a more varied kink than panchira. 

Panchira - or panty fetishism - has a long history, which we've covered here before. But it's so much deeper than just the panties themselves. If you're the type of person who goes gaga for undergarments, then you know preference is everything. A thong guy isn't going to get the same kicks as a lacy garters girl - dig? 

Today, we're baring it all and getting to the heart of the issue. What kind of panties are people into? Where did they come from? And - above all - why are they so damn sexy? The answers to all that (and much more) lie ahead. 

Thongs

You know 'em. You love 'em. Sisqo wrote a whole song about 'em. 

The thong is a taste as timeless as a good wine or spirit. There's a beauty to its elegance and simplicity - minimal cloth, maximum cheek. It's little wonder why they've stuck around (and in our cracks) as long as they have. 

Seriously: thongs have one of the longest histories among all other panties. They date back tens of thousands of years, with countless regional flavors to choose from. One of the earliest dates back to 42,000 BCE in Africa! While designer Rudi Gernreich got the "official" credit in 1974, people have been checking out cheeks before an old German guy said it was cool. 

G-String 

There’s a lot of variety to the g-string, but it all comes back to that “string.” G-strings are an extra-sexy cut of thong that show off even more! Most of them leave very little to the imagination by design. If you’re an ass guy or gal, chances are you can’t get enough of these – and we can’t blame you.

A favorite of confident beachgoers and after dark dancers alike, it’s not clear where or when the g-string originated. In fact, we still aren’t totally sure on what the “G” stands for! Some theorize that it’s short for the French word gusset, which is a piece of string. The word itself seems to be derived from “geestring,” which white settlers used to describe the string that held up indigenous loincloths. 

Whatever the case is – the name stuck, and today g-strings are one of the sexiest cuts of panties out there. Definitely a fun, cheeky surprise for panchira heads! 

Boyshorts

There are two things you need to know about boyshorts. First: boys don't usually wear them. Second: they're not actually shorts. 

We know - it's confusing! But there's nothing confusing about how cute and tomboyish this cut is. Boyshorts use extra fabric to shape and frame thighs, as well as hug hips for extra contour. Some are a little more sporty, while others have fun lace around the edges. They're a little higher waisted than most cuts, but hey - all the more to enjoy!

They burst onto the scene in the 1930s, after the explosion of men's boxers. No doubt, ladies wanted something with just as much comfort and coverage. Ever since, they've become a vital part of the panty landscape and always fun to uncover! 

Bikini Bottoms

Bikini bottoms really are the best of both worlds. They've got just enough coverage to look stylish, but frame the butt just right to make it pop out. 

Bikinis have their history in France, where they were conceived to conserve materials. Fabric was being rationed tight during WWII, and the low-cut bikini bottom was more economical than a boyshort or a bloomer. Plus, many of them were made with nylon and not cotton! After the war, the bikini caught on throughout Western Europe and was soon exported abroad. 

The appeal of a bikini is easy to see. They come in all sorts of cuts, materials, colors, patterns… bikinis are almost an entire class of fetishism on their own! Whether they're being barred out in the summer sun, or discretely hidden beneath a skirt, they're always a sexy surprise. 

Garterbelt

We'll admit - this is a little different than panties! But garterbelts are a sexy companion to (or substitute for) them. These lacy numbers strap around your thighs or waist, and hook into a matching set of stockings. 

Garters date back to the 18th century, and were in simultaneous use both by white European and indigenous communities. They've evolved a lot over time, and look a lot different than their more ornate ancestors. These days, garter can either be practical nylon or delicate lingerie, depending on your mood. 

Stripes 

Okay – this is cheating, but we need to talk about stripes. Yes, it’s not technically a type of panty. But striped panties are one of the most beloved variants across the board. Whether you’re talking about ecchi manga or cheesecake softcore hentai, there’s something special about a pair of panties that catch the eye with a stripy pattern.

Fun fact: stripes automatically train your eye to make something look bigger. Translate that to Panties 101, and you’ve got a design that makes your whole package look a lot more appealing. Whether you’re into a bulge in the front or some extra roundness in the back, striped panties can make anything (and anyone) look a lot more appetizing.
