Types of underwear: what are the most popular models?
Despite their apparent simplicity, underwear offers a surprisingly wide range of options, each designed to provide comfort, support, and style. Never underestimate how well-fitting underwear can boost self-esteem and make us feel better about ourselves when we look in the mirror and navigate our daily lives.
In this article, we'll explore the most popular types of underwear and their distinctive features, each suited to specific needs and designed to enhance specific body types.
What are panties?
Panties are an item of underwear designed to cover and support the genital area of the human body. They are worn under clothing and if chosen properly can become a real second skin.
Panties come in a wide range of styles, shapes, and materials to suit every woman's needs and taste.
Historically, Underwear has played an important role in the evolution of underwear . Over the centuries, it has evolved from being considered simple garments for intimate hygiene to becoming more structured garments designed to convey sensuality, femininity, and—most importantly—make the body look flawless in any outfit.
Different types of underwear
Each type of underwear offers unique features in terms of fit, coverage, and comfort, allowing people to choose the one that best suits their body type and occasion. In the following paragraphs, we'll explore some of Clara Intimo's iconic styles, designed to meet different comfort and style needs and ensure a perfect fit for any body type in any situation.
Brazilian
Flower It is much more than just a Brazilian brief: it is an item of underwear that embodies the essence of femininity, offering unparalleled comfort, elegance and support.
The Brazilian brief is particularly suitable for women who want to enhance their curves and achieve the visual effect of a feminine and seductive buttock. Thanks to the raw cut that adapts perfectly to the skin, Fleur helps define and shape the silhouette harmoniously. It is the perfect companion for any outfit, allowing women to feel confident and glamorous on any occasion.
The Fleur Brazilian brief represents the quintessential sensuality and elegance, harmoniously combining comfort and well-being with a sophisticated and functional design. Designed for everyday wear, these briefs embody the softness and practicality of a seamless fabric designed to delicately embrace a woman's curves with light and effective support.
Thong
Our 15M10 was created with a very specific goal: to combine functionality with aesthetics, design with sensuality. A thong made from a technical shapewear fabric with a very high Lycra content (44%) that can:
- support hips and abdomen;
- ensure a slimming effect;
- enhance the entire silhouette with elegance and seduction.
The leg and waistband are seamless thanks to laser cutting, so it is invisible even under tight-fitting clothing.
Control underwear
Tania This is our high-cut underbust shapewear panty, designed to offer firm support around the abdominal area and an unparalleled slimming effect. Lined with Lycra, it hugs the body with delicate firmness, expertly sculpting the silhouette.
What makes Tania unique is her use of high-quality Wetlook material, renowned for its exceptional stretch and ability to shape the body harmoniously. The fabric moves sinuously with the body, never making you feel constricted and ensuring unparalleled comfort at any time of day.
Worried that the fabric of this bustier slip might bunch up and create unsightly dimples when you sit down? Don't worry! Thanks to the built-in boning, it won't create any unsightly abdominal discomfort once you're wearing it. In fact, these panties are also perfect for helping you maintain correct posture thanks to the reinforcements within the fabric.
Clean Cut Underwear
One of the distinguishing features of clean-cut underwear is its minimalist aesthetic. Thanks to their clean cuts and lack of visible seams, these underwear fit like a second skin, creating a flawless look with any outfit.
It's not just a matter of aesthetics: clean-cut underwear gives you a feeling of well-being and lightness that stays with you all day long. In this regard, the simplicity of our underwear Flo It's a winner at first glance: as soon as you put it on, you'll immediately feel the supportive action, along with a soft, lightweight sensation on the skin. Made from a stretchy, breathable fabric, it adapts seamlessly to every body type, offering unparalleled comfort and versatility.
Push Up Panties
Push-up panties are designed to lift and shape the buttocks, giving them a more toned, firm, and elevated appearance. This effect is achieved through specific seams, cuts, and materials specifically designed to enhance the natural curves of the female body.
Push-up panties are recommended when you want to enhance and define your silhouette, especially under tight-fitting clothing like skirts or pants. These panties are particularly useful when you want to achieve a more sculpted look on the buttocks, just like those who wear our Helene underwear .
Its secret lies in its innovative design and the high-quality materials used in its construction. Lined on the front with a single-piece stretch satin panel, these panties offer perfect abdominal support and an impeccable fit that makes you feel at ease with every movement. The back features a specially designed seam to lift and shape the buttocks, creating a push-up effect that enhances your curves in a natural and sensual way. Thanks to the clean cut leg opening, you can wear Helene under any type of clothing without worrying about annoying seams.
Knee-high socks
A knee-high panty is an underwear item that combines the features of panties and knee-highs, offering support and coverage from the waist to the upper thighs. They're typically made of stretchy, breathable materials, ensuring comfort and adaptability for anyone who wears them.
Generally, it is a model particularly appreciated by those women who suffer from chafing, or who want to slim the shape of their thighs, especially the inner thighs.
In this, the action of the Henriette underwear It's ideal! This lingerie item was created specifically to address those daily annoyances related to chafing legs, summer sweating, and redness caused by contact with clothing.
The back seam is designed to lift and shape the buttocks, creating a push-up effect that enhances your curves in a natural and sensual way. The seamless leg opening ensures a perfect fit, keeping the knee-highs securely in place without the risk of the fabric bunching up and showing through under clothing.
Underbust panties
This type of panty extends to the lower part of the breasts, providing additional coverage around the abdomen and supporting the bust, almost completely covering it. This type of panty doesn't interfere with the support of a bra because it only slims and contours the abdomen and hips.
In this category, we would like to point out the Heloise underwear : Made from a breathable and comfortable fabric that allows the skin to breathe, ensuring an unparalleled feeling of freshness and comfort all day long.
The unique back seam is specially designed to contour and enhance the body's shape, offering optimal support to the abdominal area, hips, and buttocks. The underbust height provides greater coverage and ideal support for women seeking comfortable and feminine lingerie.
The waistband features a binding that will ensure everything stays in place no matter how you move. So, rest assured, there's no chance the fabric will bunch up and expose any imperfections in your clothing. The leg opening features a clean cut, without seams or hems, making these panties ideal for wearing even under tight-fitting clothing.
Underpants for life
A waistband panty is a type of underwear that covers and supports the abdominal area and usually reaches the waist or just below it. This type of underwear is perfect for wearing under tight-fitting dresses or pants.
Waistband panties can also offer extra comfort on days when you want more coverage and support. They can be especially useful during your period or when you feel particularly bloated and want a sense of security and stability. Many women, however, prefer them for everyday use because they feel more comfortable and confident, and therefore wear them regardless of situation or outfit.
If you too are a lover of waist-high panties, you will not be able to resist the charm of the Victoria model : Double-layered in the front plastron for extra support and coverage; the upper back is reinforced for optimal comfort. The waistband features a non-slip silicone trim that—just like Heloise—ensures the brief stays up and the fabric doesn't bunch up when you sit or move. We know that a perfect fit and a stable fit will make you feel confident in every movement, which is why we left nothing to chance. These are the details that make the difference in terms of quality.
Over-the-waist underwear
A waistband panty is a type of underwear that extends beyond the waistline, covering the abdomen and providing extra support in the abdominal area. If we had to find a simple and effective way to describe this style, we could say it's the perfect compromise between Victoria (waistband panty) and Heloise (underbust panty). In this case, the style we propose is 15M12 : The double-layered front plastron ensures an immediate slimming effect on the abdomen, while the high waistband features a non-slip silicone band only on the back to ensure a perfect fit without constricting the upper abdomen. This ensures optimal support and the visual effect of a smaller size, without compromising comfort or the body's natural silhouette.
Three 4cm spiral steel bones provide additional support and structure, ensuring the garment maintains its shape over time and throughout the day. The rounded, laser-cut leg enhances and beautifully shapes the figure, offering an elegant and refined look under any outfit and on any occasion.
Like all our underwear, the 15M12 features a 100% cotton hygienic gusset that ensures freshness and hygiene at any time of the day.
