Panty Problems Solved:

The Best Underwear for Every Need

When it comes to underwear, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer—what works for one person might not work for another, and that’s okay! That’s why I turned to this amazing community to crowdsource recommendations, ensuring that every pick in this guide has been tried, tested, and loved. My goal was to keep things simple and not overwhelming, so I’ve narrowed it down to no more than four options per category while also including additional mentions outside of my personal expertise.

As you explore this guide, I encourage you to experiment with different sizes, styles, and rises to find what truly works for you. A great pair of underwear should fit well—it shouldn’t roll, ride up, or give you a wedgie. And let’s be real, if your panties are tattered, torn, or stretched beyond recognition, it might be time for a refresh! Investing in high-quality, well-fitting underwear can make a world of difference in how comfortable and confident you feel every day.

And since good underwear deserves good care, I also wanted to share my go-to fabric wash that helps keep them in great shape for longer. Proper care makes all the difference! I always recommend washing on a delicate cycle with a gentle detergent and drying on low heat (or air-drying) to prevent shrinkage and maintain elasticity. A little extra care goes a long way in keeping your favorites looking and feeling their best!
