Knickers & Thongs

Erotic knickers and thongs are underwear made to be admired and played in: lace or sheer, open at the crotch, strappy, set with rhinestones, or with a vibrator you control from a distance. To choose, start with the size on the product page and how you will use them: show them off, play in them or wear them all day.

What are erotic knickers & thongs?

They are knickers and thongs that go beyond basic underwear. They come in lace or sheer fabric, open at the crotch, leave the skin on show with criss-cross straps or hide a small vibrator. Some styles are subtle enough to wear every day, while others are openly provocative and made for a particular moment. Those that list their composition are usually nylon or polyester with elastane, which fits the body and stretches. There are also cotton styles and seamless versions.

Types of erotic knickers

This is where the knickers and thongs are. Boyshorts, which cover more, have their own section. For matching knickers and bra, see the sets, and for men, men's lingerie. The rest of the pieces are in lingerie.

  • Lace: sheer and feminine, good for everyday wear and for a special occasion.
  • Open (crotchless): no fabric at the crotch, so you don't have to take them off.
  • Strappy: criss-cross straps with a minimalist harness look, the ones that turn the most heads.
  • Rhinestones or crystals: sparkle and bows to show off.
  • Edible: made of candy or pressed sugar, for playing or for a hen night.
  • Vibrating: with a pocket for a bullet vibrator or with the vibrator built in, controlled with a remote or an app; they add play even outside the house.
  • Seamless: they don't show under tight clothing and still look sexy.
  • Period: knickers designed to be worn during your period.

Care

Hand wash lace in cold water or in a mesh bag, and always follow the label. On vibrating knickers with a pocket, take out the bullet before washing the fabric. If the vibrator is built in, follow the instructions on the product page. Clean the toy with a damp cloth and mild soap, or under a warm tap only if it is fully waterproof. If you also use it with direct friction and it is silicone, combine it with a water-based lubricant.

How to choose

  • Size: compare it with the size guide on the product page; if you are between two sizes, the larger one is less tight. There are more styles in plus sizes.
  • Fabric: the product page gives the composition; with elastane the garment stretches and adapts, and lace needs more care when washing.
  • Opening: if you don't want to take them off, look for “open” or “crotchless” in the name.
  • Control: on vibrating styles, check whether they come with a remote or an app, the remote's range (some reach 15 metres) and how many functions it has.
  • Water: “water-resistant” only withstands a little moisture; to rinse the vibrator under the tap, look for “fully waterproof”.

Frequently asked questions

Do vibrating knickers show under clothing?

No. The ones here have a small, light vibrator: the Svakom Edeny measures 9.1 cm and weighs 43 g, the Liebe Panty Vibe weighs 34 g and the Tantus Panty Play is described as made to be worn under trousers. The motor is compact and quiet, inaudible with normal background noise. Only the Svakom Edeny can be controlled by app, from your partner's phone; the others come with a remote, such as the Baile one, which reaches 15 metres, the Pipedream one or the Panty Vibe Sweetheart by S Pleasures, and most have 10 vibration modes.

Which erotic knickers should I give as a gift?

A black lace thong in size M is, statistically, the most likely hit. If you want to take a bigger risk, a set of 3 knickers in different styles (classic, crotchless and strappy) lets you see what they like without having to get it right first time.

Can you wear erotic knickers every day?

Yes, many of them. Lace and seamless styles can be worn under everyday clothes; crotchless, strappy and edible ones are more for a particular moment.

What is the difference between knickers, thongs and boyshorts?

Coverage. A thong leaves the buttocks bare with a thin strip at the back, knickers cover more and boyshorts cover more still, shaped like short shorts.

Are there erotic knickers in plus sizes?

Yes. There are styles in XL, and you will find more in plus sizes. The size of each style is on its product page.

Can vibrating knickers be used on your own?

Yes. You can hold the remote or the app yourself, or hand it to your partner to control from a distance.
