While panties can come in many types such as boyshorts or a full brief, the bikini panty is the true example of style, luxury and class. These panties sit at hip level and have a very narrow hip line. The rear design of the panty is not too revealing or uncomfortable. The front coverage is also moderate and allows for a great middle ground of function and style. It is the most widely worn panty among women worldwide and is highly regarded in fashion and pop culture. They come in many variations and fabric templates, ranging all the way from lace to floral embroidery and sometimes even other fabric types. They are always constructed with a breathable material for increased comfort. There are also many interpretations on its basic design which can include tank top sets and string bikini, which only have a string that ride around the hip. Bikini underwear can be any combination of tight, skimpy or revealing undergarment when compared to the basic brief. Most of the styles sit below the natural waist line, which is what gives them such great appeal. They come in both classic (black or white) or seasonal schemes. The inclusion of bikini style panties came soon after the invention of the miniskirt, which required its wearers to be almost indifferent to the potential for the exposure of the panty itself. This fueled the fire and soon bikini panties were the norm.

This type of panty complements the female form and is often paired with other matching colors or fine lingerie to complete a set. While some women prefer more reserved underwear, bikini panties are slowly becoming the mainstay of female undergarments. A bikini panty is almost always paired with a bra counterpart for the ultimate effect in sex appeal. A must have for all women it can offer comfort, sex appeal, and a feminine look all in one.
