For some people, less is more when it comes to underwear. Most days, I prefer a thong over a full-coverage panty, since a well-fitting thong is discreet no matter what I'm wearing over it.
Thongs tend to get a bad rep in the comfort department. But after years of testing out different brands to find the best underwear for women, various members of the Insider Reviews team have raised the flag on the occasional pair. A soft, stretchy, and breathable thong has turned out to be the real test of a brand's chops when it comes to truly comfortable lingerie.
The top 3 best thongs we've tested:
This thong is made with a super stretchy nylon-Spandex fabric that gently hugs my body in all the right ways. It's seamless and practically invisible under clothing.
This buttery-soft high-rise thong will change your mind about how comfortable thongs can be. It stretches to hug your curves and has seams that lay flush against your skin.
This plus size-friendly thong is made from stretchy nylon and elastane that fits around large stomachs and behinds without bunching up.
