An incredible outfit looks can be ruined by visible panty lines. Some ladies have found succour in g-strings and thongs, but others may find it uncomfortable. Thankfully, there are several solutions to help prevent visible panty lines from appearing and saving you a lot of embarrassment. Take a look below:
1. Wear thick textured fabrics
Silky, slinky dresses are not your safest bet when it comes to hiding panty lines. The material is just too smooth and clingy. Reach for thicker, more textured fabrics that can help mask any outlines you’d rather not have.
2. Camouflage with another print
When in doubt, opt for an item with a bold pattern—the busier the print, the better it will be at hiding the visible panty lines. This would pass for a fashion statement.
3. Layer tights or pantyhose over underwear
Obviously not ideal for the hot weather but when the weather starts to get cooler, a pair of tights or pantyhose can smooth out any unwanted lines so they don’t show on your outermost layer.
4. Try an old-school slip
It’s retro but it works. Run both the skirt and the slip through a wire hanger a few times before you put them on to prevent any annoying static electricity.
5. Use what professionals use
There’s a reason professional stylists use thongs and G-strings exclusively. They might not be as comfy as your high-waisted, cheeky, or full-coverage pairs, but they do eliminate visible panty lines.
6. Stick-on thongs work too
If you need to go even further than a thong, these underwear stickers exist—and some styles are even washable and reusable. Since these don’t have a waistband, they come in handy if you’re wearing a super tight-fitting dress that also happens to have major side slits.
7. If thongs are not your thing, go for boy shorts
Boyshorts are great because they go right under the curve of the butt cheek instead of cutting across it. A little lace hem is also good for making the line less abrupt and, thus, less noticeable.
8. Try wearing shapewear
Shapewear can be great for creating a smooth line under your clothes, but this option would prob only work for big events. Also, don’t torture yourself with anything too tight. It’s seriously not worth it.
