dievca’s back-in-action and back to work on a Saturday. After laying around in sweats, she’s only ready for the next step up – a Hanro Tank and Boyshorts. It’s not super glamourous – but the bottoms accentuate the booty.
You know dievca is feeling better when she is thinking about sex.
Tanga briefs are a type of thong underwear that cover both your front and back with triangular pieces of material. They provide moderate to minimal rear coverage between a bikini cut and a thong and also have wider sides. They can be a good way to transition from a traditional bikini panty to a thong.
Cheeky Underwear
Cheeky underwear are true to their name and enhance your derriere by exposing the better part of it. They have less coverage than bikinis but more than thongs or G-strings. The front and waist portion are mostly covered.
dievca was doing a search for silk jersey lingerie. Silk jersey is delicate, smooth, and softer than a t-shirt, the weave of silk jersey allows it to stretch gently like normal cotton underwear. However, silk has optimal air permeability over cotton and most other fibers. It has a luster and demure sophistication.
During the search, dievca ran into Erica Waddell’s Etsy site for custom clothing including lingerie. The site offers an option to choose your type of silk jersey panties – so which type is best?
9 Essential Underwear Every Woman Should Own & What To Wear Them With
Just as a strapless bra is essential when you’re wearing a summer tube dress, seamless underwear is important when you’re wearing a pencil skirt. Here are some suggestions for different types of underwear and what you should pair them with:
1. Boy Shorts
Inspired by men’s boxers, boy shorts tend to be comfortable. They are functional and can be worn with skirts, as well as flared dresses.
2. Classic Briefs
These are regular underwear. The ones you buy in a pack of three or five. You can pair them with almost anything as long as your outfit is not body-hugging because then your panty lines would be on display. Wear with a pleated skirts or jeans.
3. Hipsters
These panties are low-rise and have wide coverage on the sides. They go with almost everything. So make sure you have more than just a couple of them. Wear them with pants and low-waisted jeans.
4. Thongs
Nothing says sexy like thongs do. They’re the perfect underwear type for outfits where the bump of your panty line can ruin the line. Wear a thong with pencil skirts and bodycon dresses.
5. French-Cut Panties
Also known as high-cut panties, these are very 1980s retro. They have a high cut on the leg holes, which makes them better for circulation from the regular ones. They go superbly well with high-waist jeans
6. G-String
They’re very similar to thongs, but these have absolutely no coverage. They’re meant for times when you would like to go commando, but then you would also like some sort of coverage. A little getting used to is required to be perfectly comfortable with this type. Wear with leggings and bodycon dresses.
7. Control Briefs
These are super comfortable and all about functionality. They come with a tight elastic waistband to keep your excess in. They help with bodycon dresses and high waist jeans.
8. Seamless
This is one type of panty that everyone should keep on hand. They don’t have stitching on them, making them perfect for every type of dress. Good with pants and sheer dresses.
9. Brazilian Briefs
They have the qualities of both a hipster and a thong. And they are just what you need when you’re vacationing on the beach. Wear them with shorts or a sarong.
Hmm-tough to make a decision….boy shorts, hipsters, briefs or Grannies!
A current description is : A moderate to minimal coverage European panty silhouette with back coverage that is more than a thong but narrower than a bikini. Tangas are a comfortable way to transition from a bikini to a thong.
The main difference between Tanga and Cheeky underwear is the amount of coverage you get. Tangas tend to be more revealing at the back while Cheeky cuts are more covered up.
The Oxford dictionary definition is, “A pair of briefs consisting of small panels connected by strings at the sides.”.
OK, that can differ from string bikini panties by the amount of coverage in the back. Right?
Add Brazilian Panties to the mix:
The Brazilian cut panty name refers to how the back of the panty looks, while the front can be any style. The most common way to describe a Brazilian panty is that it is wider in the back than a thong, but much less coverage than a regular bikini cut.
Consider that the word “tanga” in Spanish means “thong”….
With that…there is chaos….
dievca sees confusion with all the descriptions — just go with the style that your Sir or Madam prefers. XO

knick·ers
/nikərz/
noun
NORTH AMERICAN
loose-fitting trousers gathered at the knee or calf.
BRITISH
a woman’s or girl’s underpants.
Knickers are called knickers because of illustrations in a novel called the “A History of New York” by Diedrich Knickerbocker who was, supposedly a Dutchman living in New York (it was actually written by Washington Irving and published in 1809).
In Britain, the illustrations for the book showed a Dutchman wearing long, loose-fitting garments on his lower body. When men wore loose trousers for playing sports they were sometimes called knickerbockers. However in Britain women’s underwear were soon called knickerbockers too. In the late 19th century the word was shortened to knickers.
In the USA, knickers are called panties which is derived from the word “pants” (American for trousers). In the early 20th century panties became the name for female underwear in the USA. The word panties is sometimes used in the UK but it has never replaced the word knickers.
Saying, “Knickers” as an American is so satisfying.
Much sassier than “Panties”.
PS. Yes, dievca thought about buying the AP pair….
Boy shorts or Boyshorts, are a style of panties, so named for their resemblance to male shorts.
They can also be known as boy short panties, boys’ cut, booty shorts, shorties, or boyleg briefs.
Theyare a type of women’s underwear that has a lower waistline and go all the way down the hips. They are named for their similarity in looks to men’s knit boxer shorts, which themselves are a variation on Men’s traditional boxer shorts. Unlike men’s knit boxer shorts, this style is usually lower cut, and is designed to fit and flatter a woman’s figure. Boyshorts often cover most of the buttocks area, therefore keeping privacy at maximum while still having comfort.
Boyshorts have become a popular choice, since they avoid displaying a prominent visible panty line, and are a modest and comfortable alternative to thongs and conventional panties. They are also popularly matched with a camisole top and worn as loungewear (Hanky Panky has nice sets).
Lots of options below!
A variation on the boyshort is the rumba short with ruffles.
Or you can go Latex from Vex Clothing:
Or other latex and shiny boyshorts (including male options):
Why would someone want to cover this loveliness?
Good Question….
Probably because you can run-a-round topless in NYC, but not bottomless~
At least you have options:
We talked about G-String Panties, but as dievca was compiling a “Boy Shorts” post, she realized that comparison of PANTY VARIATIONS was needed before we continued.
Panties are a personal thing. Health, Comfort, Looks, Body Type, Occasion dictate what you wear and when.
For example: dievca will not wear Thongs (sorry), she doesn’t find them flattering on her body and has had health/comfort problems with them (chaffing – dievca has a long rise) – she would prefer to go commando then wear a thong, that said, she was happier when Hanky Panky Thongs arrived on the scene.
BTW: Master is not fond of thong panties either – dievca is not sure why. she will have to ask.
