We always pay attention to beautiful bras, corsets and completely forget about such an important detail of lingerie set as panties. Panties are by right considered the basic element of underwear because nobody as a rule does without them (I will not talk about craziness of some celebrities that love to show off their nakedness).

There are some established rules for designers who create panties. First of all, a waistband is normally made of elastic material for additional comfort. There is also a cotton cloth that covers the genitals. It should not be necessarily cotton but any other absorbent fiber. And the leg openings as a rule are made of elastic fibers as well. Thanks to it their can stretch.
Just for additional information, there are several types of panties.
• The first one is called briefs. They have full rear coverage and rise to the navel or a bit below it. Briefs in turn can also be divided into subgroups. There are full briefs, known also as classic, where the leg openings go below the hip. Another subgroup is French cut, or just high cut briefs that have the same coverage but they are a bit narrower. Control briefs are designed specially for providing additional support that can give a slimmer figure. And, finally, boyleg briefs, or boyshorts. It is the most popular type of panties for sporty girls.

• The second type of panties is hipsters. It looks very similar to briefs, but they rise lower than a waist.
• Then bikinis go. These panties are worn at hips, the leg openings are narrower, and a waistband rise even lower than in hipsters.
• Tangas, known also as string bikinis. Its waistband is a narrow strip at both sides, but the coverage is still full though not as much as in briefs.
• Thongs have a narrow strip as a waistband and at the rare part instead of full coverage.
• And, finally, G-string that actually has no rare part, just a strip goes from a crotch to the waistband.
