"For me, personally, I feel like a good pair of underwear is a necessary must. My personal favorite for every day is the Seamless Thong from Auden from Target. They come in nude, black, yellow, gray, [and more colors, and] are a high-waisted thong that's breathable and comfortable."

"FINALLY a pair of comfortable underwear that are high waisted, have a bit of compression, and don't give me muffin top or ride up my butt! I have been searching for underwear like this since aerie stopped making the only decent underwear they had for plus size women. These are finally it! I absolutely love them. They don't stretch out throughout the day and start riding up. Literally the best undies! I want 20 pairs." — Customer review

@thekatrinanicholeKatrina's pick: ThirdLove

@essiegoldenEssie's pick: Parade
"One of my absolute favorite brands is Parade. When it comes to fit, styles, and representation they get it right every single time. For everyday underwear, I need something comfortable, breathable, and something that moves when I do but doesn't roll down. The High Rise Cheeky in sexy silky mesh is perfect for summer and beyond. They have a style for every comfort level."
Sizes: XS to 3X
"The best underwear. Love this style." — Customer review
Sizes: XS to 3X
Material: 75% Tencel lyocell, 19% Tencel x Refibra, and 6% elastane

Sizes: XS to 3X
"I love this style of underwear! Super comfortable, it doesn't ride up, doesn't fall down, doesn't pinch or bunch up, and the bling is adorable!" — Customer review
Sizes: XS to 3X
"Nice fit. I don’t like thongs or full coverage panties. This is a nice compromise and my butt doesn’t eat the back end. The design compliments my figure and makes me look slimmer. Beautiful design too." — Customer review

@veroocamposVeronica's pick: ARQ
"My favorite everyday underwear of all time is from ARQ. It's the brand's new underwear style called the Misha. It's a high-waisted, high hip cut undie that fully covers the booty and holds you in nicely. It's different from the full-coverage high-waisted style, so it feels lighter underneath clothing. ARQ is the most inclusive undies brand that I know of and their color and pattern choices are divine!"

@imjesssimsJess's picks: Universal Standard and Love, Vera
"Universal Standard has really well-made underwear. I love sexy lingerie and lacey bits but I work from home, and sitting around in some comfy underoos that cover my entire backside is comforting. As is pretty standard with Universal Standard's size range, the underwear also goes up to a size US 40.
"Love, Vera is a Black woman–owned lingerie brand that sells some of the sexiest underpinnings I have ever seen and they always have models of all body shapes and sizes, which I really appreciate. I believe their underwear goes up to a 4X in most styles and the sizing is pretty consistent with true plus (as opposed to junior plus, which tends to run smaller)."
Sizes: 4XS to 4X
Material: 47% lenzing modal, 47% cotton and 6% elastane with 100% cotton lining
"Just perfect. Perfect rise, doesn’t budge or roll down throughout the day. Breathable. I didn’t think I could be this excited about a pair of underwear but they’re amazing and totally worth it!" — Customer review
Sizes: 4XS to 4X
Material: 47% lenzing modal, 47% cotton and 6% elastane with 100% cotton lining
"Worth every penny... Comfy and stays in place. Will be purchasing more." — Customer review
Sizes: 4XS to 4X
Material: 47% lenzing modal, 47% cotton and 6% elastane with 100% cotton lining
"I LOVE these. I don’t even care that they’re a little higher than a lot of my pants lol. They feel really really good. Did I already say how much I love them?" — Customer review
Sizes: 4XS to 4X
Material: 69% nylon and 31% elastane with anti-bacterial/microbial and anti-odor
"These shorts are amazing! I got them on sale with a promotion and wasn't expecting anything all that great, but they are the perfect lightweight base layer for dresses or skirts. They are super stretchy (they don't squeeze the life out of me or create a big muffin top), and they have a lovely slip so that dresses or skirts don't cling. They are not high-control shapewear, but they effectively smooth some of my lumps and bumps. I highly recommend giving them a try!" — Customer review

Hanky Panky's signature thongs simply cannot be matched.
A classic black brief is a must. In fact, it's so essential, you might as well buy it in triplicate.
Don't hesitate to buy these simple and chic briefs. You'll regret it.
