The bikini-style makes it an excellent choice for that, too.
Moreover, the mid-rise coverage prevents it from rolling down your waist as you move around. Though many pairs of underwear are made of nylon and spandex, this one is different. The fabric is what we call “second-skin” quality, which is light on the skin, and it feels like you’re wearing nothing!

By Lynn

How To Choose The Best ThirdLove Underwear
Lucky for us, ThirdLove offers a perfect fit guarantee that lets you return any product if the sizing is off. So, we can scratch that off our list of things to consider when picking your ThirdLove underwear. With that said, we still have a couple of things to look at.
Material
Though we agreed that cotton-based underwear is the most comfortable, a little bit of nylon and spandex won’t hurt. Cotton is more breathable, but nylon and spandex are more comfortable to wear when you’re on the move. Besides, the latter usually last longer.
But hey, ThirdLove cotton underwear is not like your classic cotton panties. They are not 100% cotton. Instead, they are combined with spandex and even microfiber to elevate the comfort of the classic pair.
Style
ThirdLove underwear generally falls into three main styles: bikini, thong, and brief. But the brand also offers modern styles like hipster, cheeky, and shortie. Here are the main differences:
- Brief – traditional undies
- Bikini – like a bottom piece of swimsuit
- Thong – minimum back coverage
- Hipster – in between brief and bikini
- Cheeky – a sexy pair to showcase your back
- Shortie – shorts-like undies
Coverage
There’s no correct answer for which coverage design is the best. In fact, it depends on the occasion. ThirdLove underwear comes in these options: high-rise, mid-rise, or low-rise. High-rise pairs give more coverage on the back, front, and up. Low-rise ones give a sexier look as they reveal more of your skin. Last but not least, the mid-rise is somewhere in between.
