Style inspiration:How To Avoid Panty/Underwear Lines Beneath Your clothes!

VPLs (VPL is where the panties of a woman are visible through the material of lower-body clothing) are quite embarrassing! "Visible panty lines" can ruin any good outfit, while invisible panty lines will help to enhance your looks by making your figure seem sleeker and sexier. To avoid this common fashion faux pas, there are several simple things you can do.

Understand what causes visible panty lines. VPLs occur at the point where your backside cheeks are intersected by tight elastic of the panties.[1] The backside cheeks have little place else to go but to bulge out either side, while the elastic dips in, creating a visibly indented line. The goal, therefore, is to either avoid creating these indents across your backside or to scoot them down to a part of the cheek where they won’t be visible under a particular garment.

Select underwear suited to your backside shape. There are so many choices nowadays that something will work the best for your shape, although it may take a few tries to hit on the best fit and style. The most important thing is to purchase panties that fit! Make sure you know how to buy panties that cover your buttocks properly, at least to the extent of coverage the panties are supposed to give and that they do not dig in too tightly. At the same time, if you choose underwear that is too loose, it can easily wrinkle up inside your clothes leaving you lacking a smooth, sleek look and just showing wrinkles and bumps.

Choose the right fabric. Panties that shape themselves to your body are less likely to create VPLs. Elastic and spandex panties will work well to create a seamless fit, whereas cotton panties will often give a rumpled look along with VPL. However, because cotton panties are comfortable and most women have them in abundance, part of the trick is to avoid wearing them with outfits where they will definitely show. Given that much cotton underwear has thicker elastic, this is more likely to show through many of your outfits, so be sure to check in the mirror or ask a trusted friend for honest advice as to how it looks. (Most elastic and spandex underwear, on the other hand, uses a thinner band, helping to avoid panty lines.)

Take care with color. While bright pink panties with a dark outfit might be fine, the image changes rapidly when worn under white or other light clothing! Suddenly, much more is revealed than expected! Match your underwear to your skin tones when wearing light clothing. Flesh-colored underwear blends in with your skin, leaving invisible panty lines. Keep in mind that flesh-colored underwear means it closely matches your skin tone. If it is too much lighter or darker than your skin tone, then the VPLs will still show through.

Opt for a thong or a similar alternative. This is the number one option to avoid panty lines. Thongs simply don’t have the lines to show, making the choice easy for many women. Be sure to check out the rear view when you sit or squat; those positions tend to expose half the thong if you’re wearing low-riders.

There are women who don’t like to wear thongs, and for those women, there are a few other options:

Shape your body with your panties. Body shaping underwear is another great option to a thong. This style of underwear starts higher up on your waist and comes down to your mid thighs. Elastic or spandex styles give you a smooth and sleek look. It can also have some constricting properties that can suck in unwanted bulges, making you look and feel great.

Consider wearing boy shorts, boxer shorts, or French knickers.[4] These are a great option if you don’t want to wear a thong; the longer leg will eliminate panty lines that cut across the butt. If your pants are tight, however, the edges still may show.

Take extra special care while wearing slimming clothing. Tight clothing will always bring out a VPL if there is one to bring out. The answer to this is to wear a thong or a laser-cut brief.[5] These won't dig into your flesh and you'll have no VPL.
