I’ve seen more women getting interested in wearing cheeky underwear. However, the lack of understanding of its features sometimes causes them to get an incorrect size and rise type, resulting in an overall unflattering bum silhouette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since starting this fashion blog in 2018, I’ve guided women in solving underwear dilemmas by testing every style to find their strengths and disadvantages. For this guide, I’m going to explain what cheeky panties are, how they fit, and why you should wear them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Are Cheeky Panties?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the name implies, cheeky panties are a kind of underwear that show more of the butt cheeks because of the narrower band of fabric covering the backside. This style still covers most of the front and sides, drawing attention to the reduced back coverage. <\/p>\n\n\n

Cheeky underwear looks playful and flirtatious while still providing coverage and support as regular panties do. If you want something in between a full-coverage style and a barely-there thong, you’ve come to the right place \u2014 I’m going to explain what a cheeky panty is and the perks of wearing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Are the Features of Cheeky Panties?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cheeky panty is often confused with other underwear styles. These distinct features will help you identify this style the next time you shop for underwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rise<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Cheeky often has a mid-rise waistband, although some brands now offer low-rise and high-rise bands. It usually uses a mid-waist style because this complements the less rear coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bum Coverage<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you’re looking for something with less back coverage than traditional underwear yet offers more coverage than a thong, then a cheeky panty is the middle ground for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The narrower fabric across the rear offers more coverage than a bikini cut, although there’s still a noticeable sexy cut. However, it isn’t as skimpy as thongs or g-strings.<\/p>\n\n\n

Side Coverage<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Cheeky underwear has wide sides that allow you to highlight the hip line. Even if you use low-waist or mid-waist, the side panels help keep the panty in place and distribute pressure without digging into the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cut and Leg Hole Opening<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you want to avoid panty lines, especially on bodycon dress,<\/a> yet want to skip wearing thongs, cheeky underwear is the best alternative. The narrower back panel makes the cut disappear underneath skirts, dresses, or pants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The higher cut on the legs also gives a comfortable yet flattering fit, letting you move freely without the fabric bunching on the bikini line. For comparison, it has a shorter leg opening than boyleg panties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fabric<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Most cheeky panties use polyester, cotton, or spandex. These fabrics don’t easily stretch out or dig into the skin, giving the underwear its hiphugger properties. Some brands incorporate lace and synthetic blends for better stretch<\/a> and a sexier silhouette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does Cheeky Underwear Fit?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cheeky underwear has a form-flattering fit, giving a sexy yet covered style. It has a more modest coverage by keeping a significant portion of the backside covered. Despite that, the cut accentuates the bum to create a playful silhouette.<\/p>\n\n\n
