I haven’t gone to clubs in a long time until I went with one of my girlfriends about a week ago. I was wearing jeggings and a long top so I didn’t need to worry about showing any unwanted panty lines. Besides, even if it did show, it wouldn’t matter because we were in the dark!
Since it was night time, it was easy to avoid those panty lines. During the day – not so much. So, the question is this: what if you want to wear a tight pencil skirt or those form fitting slack pants during the day time? Well, don’t worry Lovelies – there are several ways (instead of going commando) to avoid those pesky panty lines.
1. Granny Panties
Yes, grandmas always know best. These grandma panties are super comfortable and they take a while for getting used to. Since a lot of us gals aren’t used to wearing high-waist pants, it may feel uncomfortable at first. But throughout the day, it will feel more comfortable since it just takes time getting used to. I have a couple stashed in my drawer just in case!
Why it works: Granny panties act like a second “skin,” since it covers your whole butt and waist.
2. Boyshorts
Want the extra butt coverage, but don’t want the high waist line? Well, boyshorts are your friends then! They’re more accessible than “granny panties,” and come in a lot more colors/cute designs. These boyshorts are basically tiny shorts that you wear under your skirt or pants.
Why it works: Since the underwear will extend to your thigh, no panty lines will show.
3. Thongs
This is the NEXT best thing for going naked. It’s a good alternative if you don’t want to go commando or not used to the idea of not wearing any underwear. Make sure you wear this when you’re not on your period – or if you are, you can invest some panty liners that actually fit into the thong.
Why it works: Since it’s just a “string,” you won’t see any hemlines on your butt.
4. Seamless Underwear
I found this out when I was shopping at my local Victoria’s Secret. They were advertising the seamless bras (where your bra lines don’t show when you’re wearing a silky or satin, tight top). The girl working there also showed me some of the brand’s seamless underwear. Needless to say, they work pretty well.
Why it works: Seamless panties mean that there is no visible hemline around the underwear trims. That way, it won’t show the “bulge” of the underwear lining.
Bonus Tip: Do not wear cotton panties! They often bulge up and will leave you actually wishing that you went commando.
Did these tips help you? What do you do to avoid those pesky panty lines?

I like boyshorts!

How about just avoid panties altogether? =D
guest
I don’t think I’ve ever cared about whether panty lines are showing or not. But I do wear boy shorts often..
guest
I wear thongs.
guest
boyshorts and thongs! i think granny panties are unattractive… especially if you bend down and it’s all bunched up at the top. that’s worse than pantylines in my opinion!

sorry, you lost me with “jeggings.”

@too_pretty_to_die@xanga - haha agreed.
how do boyshorts avoid pantylines again? they don’t “extend to your thighs” if you have a larger-than-average derriere. any one else have that problem? i stick to thongs, just for that reason.
guest
I hate thongs. Ew.
guest
I really don’t like boy shorts I find they they ride up and do not understand how people wear them with tight pants. How do you get pants on without your boy shorts getting all bunched up? Someone please answer, because I really want to know. Also I don’t like the seamless underwear because my vagina and I are not fond of the fabric they are made of. Why not just wear regular bikini-cut underwear?

Boyshorts don’t work on me. Us girls with a round bum… they ride up and give you the panty lines.

Another way is to wear the all lace panties. They lay flat and hug your body and have the added bonus of feeling sexy unlike granny panties.
guest
boyshorts ftw !
guest
i usually just freeball or wear a thong, you still get a panty line with granny panties or boyshorts…i even get them with seamless underwear but maybe i just have a huge butt. probably not though.
guest
Granny panties definitely give panty lines. Sometimes the wrong type of thong gives panty lines on the upper bum/hip part, you just need a proper fitting thong.
I stick with the thong, or ignore that I have pany lines at all.

Great post Crystal! hehe so brave to show off your non-visible panties line :p I HATE VPLs! With a passion… there is no excuse ladies! I would say avoid ‘lace’ or ‘ruffled’ fabric that can usually be seen through tighter fabric. I wore a jersey dress the other night and to avoid panty lines… I opted for a v-string (which I think VS coined?), which was helpful!
P.S. I’m such a jeggings girl too! *high five*

I just wear a thong, problem solved. If you find the right ones, you don’t notice its a 24/7 wedgie. Only thing is, I can’t wear them all day, so last summer when I was wearing thongs more than usual, as soon as I got home I changed into regular underwear.
As for the boy shorts, I tried them & you can still see your panty line, unless you do get the boxer kind. The seamless work pretty well, it just depends on the material/type of bottom you’re wearing.
guest
I don’t give two shits about panty lines. I’m not trying to hide the fact that I’m wearing underwear.
guest
I LOVE boyshorts <3

Helpful, thanks!
