7 Essential Transgender / Crossdressing Panties Styles

If you’re looking to add to your collection of undergarments, or just update it, it’s important to familiarize yourself with the most popular styles of underwear.

Here are 7 essential panty styles – along with the pros and cons for crossdressers and transgender women.

Brief

Featuring a vintage twist, briefs offer full coverage and come in various styles like high or low waist and leg cuts.

These are a popular choice among crossdressers and transgender women due to their comfort and good crotch coverage.

The only drawback is that they may reveal panty lines.

Bikini

Bikini panties are like briefs, but with less fabric – a lower waist and higher legs.

This design makes them more appealing, while still being comfortable to wear.

Bikini panties are a popular choice and a must-have in any panty collection.

Thong

Thongs are known for their seductive style and minimal coverage.

However, those designed for women can be challenging to wear due to the limited fabric in the crotch region.

For MTF transgender individuals, it may be best to opt for a thong specifically made for their body type or to find a women’s style with a wider crotch area.

Boyshorts

Boyshorts are the female equivalent of boxer briefs, providing more coverage than any other type of underwear.

While they may not be considered the most attractive option, boyshorts are incredibly comfortable and can still be made to look cute and feminine with the right fabric and design.

They are perfect for casual wear and lounging around.

Hipster

A trendy and modern style, the hipster panty combines elements of both bikini panties and boy shorts.

It provides more coverage compared to a bikini panty but less than a boy short.

This style can be a comfortable choice for trans women and crossdressers.

However, if you have love handles or a belly, it’s best to avoid low-rise options as they may create an unflattering “muffin top” effect.

Gaff

Gaffs are undergarments specifically made for crossdressers and transgender women to help tuck away male anatomy.

This is crucial for achieving a seamless appearance under form-fitting attire.

Gaffs are typically available in thong styles, but there are also options like bikini-style gaffs that provide more coverage in the back.

Cheeky

Known for its playful name, the Cheeky cut is exactly what it sounds like – a style of underwear that’s cheeky and flirty.

While the front offers full coverage, the back leaves just the bottom of the cheeks exposed.

This design is similar to a Tanga brief, but instead of being between a thong and normal briefs, it’s all about which part of the cheeks are on display.

The strong side panels provide good compression, making it a popular choice for trans women who want both support and sexiness in their underwear.

How to Find Perfect Fit Panties

When choosing panties, it’s important to prioritize comfort, fit, and matching your outfit’s style. You should also consider factors like brand size, fabric type, and other options such as seamless or nude-colored panties.

Type of your Body

Your body type and preferred style of clothing should also be taken into account when selecting the ideal undergarments.

For those who want full coverage for their stomach, high-waisted underwear is a good option.

Those with weight carried in their abdomen may need underwear with a lower waistline.

High-waisted boyleg panties can provide both comfort and support for those with a curvaceous or hourglass figure.

Breathable Material for Undergarments 

Breathable materials like cotton are recommended for undergarments as they allow for air circulation and reduce the risk of infections or irritation.

They are also comfortable and absorb sweat well.

Design 

For special occasions, there are elegant options such as lace and embroidered panties available.

These stylish lingerie options can boost confidence and provide comfort.

Remember to check the return policy when purchasing innerwear online in case there are any issues with sizing or quality.

This can be extremely helpful in resolving any problems with your purchase.

“Always wear amazing undergarments, even if you’re the only one who will appreciate them.”

Choosing the wrong pair of underwear can easily turn a good day into a bad one.

With numerous options like G-strings and boy shorts, women have a vast selection to choose from when it comes to panties.

From visible panty lines with three layers to smooth seamless innerwear, there are endless fabric choices tailored for optimal comfort.

Style and comfort

Apart from fabric, the style and design of an outfit are crucial in enhancing its overall look. Selecting well-fitting lingerie is vital for wearing a perfect dress with confidence. Many women tend to overlook the importance of quality and durability when it comes to their undergarments. Just imagine trying to rock a body-hugging dress without the right support underneath.

Would you like your panty line to show? Won’t it be awkward?

Or ruin your dress. So, it is crucial to select an appropriate panty for the dress type.

Your body, Your choice

It is important to select panties that are suitable for your body shape, size, and skin tone, especially when pairing them with your outfit. Here are some tips on choosing the right panties for your body shape:

● For an hourglass figure, opt for high-waisted panties.

● If you have a pear-shaped figure, try wearing boy shorts for additional support.

● A rectangle-shaped figure would look great in high-cut briefs.

● Those with an apple-shaped figure can benefit from full briefs.

● Bikini briefs would be a good choice for those with a triangle-shaped body.

● The classic French briefs are perfect for diamond-shaped figures.

Fabrics hold power

Selecting the appropriate fabric is always a challenge.

But cotton is a reliable and low-maintenance option with a longer lifespan.

It can absorb sweat and keep you dry, making it perfect for hot summer days.

Size matters

Searching for the perfect size of underwear can feel like searching for a matching pair of socks.

They shouldn’t be too tight or cause discomfort.

It’s crucial to find the proper band size to avoid any potential issues.

Wearing ill-fitting panties can ruin your day and even put you at risk for infections.

How to measure: Measurement Guide

Step 1: Find your waist measurement
With a tape measure, determine the circumference of your narrowest waist point. This is usually around your belly button.

Step 2: Measure your hips
Keeping the tape measure level to the ground, record the full circumference of your hips and buttocks.

Step 3: Identify your panty size
With the measured numbers, you can find the exact size in the below-given table.

How should your panties fit?

• Crotch – Must provide full coverage without any gathering or drooping.
• Waistband – Must not gather, roll, or dig into the skin.
• Leg opening – Should feel comfortable and not constrict the skin.
• Buttocks – Should not bunch or ride up. If the panties ride up, consider trying a larger size.
