IMPROVING THE BOTTOM LINE

Aside from being one of the most purchased and necessary items in a woman's lingerie wardrobe, underpants come in a variety of styles to suit every fashion whim or need. Made of fabrics such as cotton, nylon, silk or lace, underpants also come in lightweight, stretchy blends with LYCRA.

SIZING IT UP

Underpants are most often sized by numbers, as follows:

WAIST MEASURMENT	HIP MEASURMENT	PANTY SIZES
24-26	30-31	4
27-28	32-33	5
29-30	34-35	6
31-32	36-37	7
33-34	38-39	8
35-36	40-41	9
37-38	42-43	10

If measurement falls between two sizes, try the larger size.

PANTY STYLES

Brief:Full-coverage, to-the-waist panty, cut low on the thigh.	Seamless: Panties knitted in one piece to provide a smooth, seamless fit.
Light Control: Everyday underwear with a touch of control for gently smoothing tummy, hips and derriere. LYCRA® adds comfortable control and ease of movement.	Bikini (V-Cut, French, String): Skimpier styles with narrow sides, including V-cut (in front), French cut (with high-cut sides) and low-cut String (with string sides).
High-Cut Brief: A panty fitted to the waist and cut high on the leg to visually lengthen legs, minimize panty lines.	Hipster: A panty worn low at the hip bones and cut higher on the sides.
Thong:The barest, most body-conscious style, with center string or thong on back. Ensures no panty lines under most clothes.

SENSUAL EXTRAS

Garter Belts: A sexy item worn at the waist or hips with attached gerters to hold up stockings. Often coordinates with matching bras and bikinis.

"Boycut" and Tap Pants: Short, clingy "boycut" styles with LYCRA® for a sexy "retro" look. Looser, flirty "tap pants" make great mini-slips for short skirts, are often worh with camisoles for a special look.
