Intro
Underwear is a woman’s intimate clothing, and choosing poor-quality or unsuitable underwear can harm the private parts. So, what types of underwear are there? How should you choose them? Let’s take a look!
How should women choose underwear?
- Underwear fabric should be comfortable and absorbent. Pure cotton has always been the best choice for making underwear, as it can provide women with the most comfortable and intimate experience.
- Wear loose-fitting underwear to prevent bacteria from entering the vagina through friction between the underwear and the skin, thus reducing the incidence of gynecological diseases.
- Choose underwear made of pure cotton, which is not only good for the skin but also comfortable to wear. It reduces skin itching and keeps the vulva dry.
- Choose light-colored underwear, as this makes it easier to check bodily fluid levels and detect diseases early.
- The front panel features a three-dimensional cut, making it durable and washable, and it should also be elastic. Experts point out that wearing sexy panties can easily worsen menstrual cramps or cause menstrual discomfort, affecting blood circulation.

What are the different types of women’s underwear?
Traditional types
(1) Low-waisted style
Underwear with a hemline of less than 8cm is called low-waisted. It’s generally worn to match the season and clothing, with the waistband below 5cm from the navel, and a narrow waistband or a thin strap design. This style of underwear is suitable for pairing with low-waisted pants and skirts.

(2) Mid-waist style
The height is within 8cm below the navel, which is the most common size and style. When worn it just exposes the navel and feels less restrictive. It is suitable for wearing when you are active and is a style that suits all body types.

(3) High-waisted style
The hemline, at or above the navel, offers greater comfort and warmth while providing better support for the hips. A key feature of this type is its waistband design, which extends above or covers the navel, covering the entire lower back.

2. Seamless underwear
Seamless underwear is a one-piece molded underwear manufactured using new specialized underwear equipment. The waistband and hip areas utilize seamless molding technology. The fabric is typically made of elastic material, which better supports the hips, reduces sagging, and provides a good slimming effect.

3. Shaping underwear
Shaping underwear is mainly used to lift the buttocks, suppress abdominal protrusion, tighten thigh fat, and refine the curves of the buttocks. Because it is generally high-waisted, it puts some pressure on the stomach, reducing appetite and decreasing food intake.

4. Underwear for menstruation
Designed specifically for women during menstruation, the elastic band extends from the crotch of the underwear to the lower back, reducing the slippage of sanitary pads and ensuring breathability while maximizing hygiene during menstruation.

5. Maternity underwear
These maternity underwear feature a specially designed belly-covering style that supports and protects the pregnant woman’s abdomen. The waistband covers the area above the navel and provides warmth.

6. Sexy underwear
With sexiness and romance as the core of the design, the designs feature cutouts or semi-transparent fabrics, and add feminine lace or unique metal accessories.

7. Thong
This trend was started by models themselves and was fueled by the popularity of thin, form-fitting clothing on the runway. More and more people are wearing thin skirts and pants in the summer, and to avoid showing underwear lines, more girls are opting for thongs.

Because thongs cover a small area, some are made of poorly breathable synthetic materials to enhance their fit, which can easily cause skin damage, infection, or allergies. Therefore, it’s best to wear them sparingly.
