Plus Size Lingerie Shorts

About Plus Size Lingerie Shorts

Women want more in lingerie than just affordability and comfort; they also want to feel sexy and be alluring. Long gone are the days when women's plus size panties only came in one or two styles and fabrics. Today, women have choices. Among the varieties available to plus size women are:

• Cotton briefs
• Bikinis
• G-strings
• Thongs
• French cut briefs
• Tangas

However, one of the more popular styles of underwear on the market today are boy shorts, which are also known as lingerie shorts, booty shorts, French knickers or hipsters. Designed like very short pants, they are made to flatter a woman's hips and thighs. They give your rear more coverage than G-strings or thongs, and can be worn and not seen with low-rise pants or jeans. They are cut low at the thigh to cover the upper part of the thigh and hips.

For the plus-sized lady, having a properly fitted pair of hipster panties is important. You don't want a pair that is too small, as this will cause your belly to be pushed up and out like a "muffin top." You also don't want to wear them with high-waisted pants, as this will cause a "ring or bulge" to appear around your mid-section between both waistbands. You may also feel the panties "slip" if they aren't worn with appropriately-styled pants. Your best bet would be to pair your boy shorts with similar-waisted slacks or skirts. Plus size lingerie shorts are made from a variety of fabrics, including:

• Silk
• Satin
• Lace
• Cotton
• Nylon
• Vinyl
• Leather
• Lycra/spandex
• Microfiber

Panties With a Purpose?

Boy shorts were definitely designed with a purpose in mind. They can be worn under all types of clothing from skirts to hip-hugging jeans to bike shorts. They won't chafe, ride up or, for the most part, show their panty lines if they fit properly and you are wearing the right clothing. They can also be worn as loungewear, paired with a cute camisole or tank top. Great for lounging around the house on a hot summer evening or to wear to bed when you don't feel the need to wear pajamas.
