Cheekies and Thongs: Understanding the Differences Between Two Popular Styles of Women’s Underwear

Cheekies and Thongs: Understanding the Differences Between Two Popular Styles of Women’s Underwear

Jun 01, 2023

When it comes to women's underwear, there are many styles to choose from, each with unique features and benefits. Cheekies and thongs are two popular styles that offer medium to low coverage but in different ways & degrees. Many women favour them for their comfort and sex appeal.


While both styles are designed to focus on comfort without full coverage, they significantly differ in design, comfort, and style.


Cheekies:


Cheekies, also known as women's cheeky shorts or high-rise cheekies underwear are designed to provide moderate coverage while still retaining some bareness at the rear. In addition, they are designed to sit higher on the waist, which can be more comfortable for women who don't like the feeling of low-rise underwear.


Here are some key features of cheekies from Tailor & Circus:


Gentle Grip: Cheekies come with a soft minimal waistband that provides a gentle grip, with a soft inner later and does not dig into the skin, ensuring comfort all day long. The high-rise coverage means that the waistband sits higher on the waist, providing added coverage in the front.

Coverage as Needed: Cheekies are designed to offer medium coverage with no ride-ups, ensuring they stay in place all day. This makes cheekies perfect for wearing under various clothing styles, including tight-fitting dresses and pants.

Supportive Sides: Cheekies have broader and higher wings supporting the hips and preventing underwear from sliding down. The non-elasticated opening of the leg holes ensures that the underwear stays in place without digging into the skin.


Cheekies are also an excellent option for women

who want more coverage than a thong but still want the appeal and visibility of a bikini.

Thongs:

Thongs are a popular style of women's underwear that offers minimal coverage. Unlike cheekies, thongs do not have any coverage on the backside, which makes them ideal for wearing under tight clothing or clothing that may show visible panty lines. Thongs are available in various styles, from simple, basic, elaborate, and decorative.


Here are some key features of thongs from Tailor & Circus:

Softer Grip: Thongs come with a broad & covered waistband that provides a softer grip than other types of underwear. The mid-rise front and high-rise back ensure that the waistband sits comfortably on the hips.


Coverage as Asked: Thongs offer essential coverage in the front and minimal coverage in the back with a zig-zig grip that sits between the cheeks, providing protection and some support. No-Show Wearing: Thongs come with minimal wings and minimal elasticated opening, making them perfect for wearing under tight-fitting clothing where visible panty lines would be distracting.


Thongs are an excellent option for women who want to show off their curves or wear more revealing clothing.


Which One to Choose?

Choosing between cheekies and thongs is a matter of personal preference and depends on the situation.

Cheekies

are ideal for women who prefer more coverage and support. At the same time

thongs

are great for those who want to eliminate visible panty lines and prefer a fully minimalistic style. However, it is essential to remember that both styles have unique features and benefits and that trying on different styles can help you find the comfortable & suitable fit for your body and lifestyle.

While both styles share some similarities, they differ in coverage, comfort, and functionality.
