A lot of us want to run in, grab the first pair that looks remotely like the something we would wear, and make it back out in T-minus 5 seconds. However, not all panties are created equally and not all are appropriate for the purpose of your purchase. Here are a few hints on how to pick the perfect pair for any occasion.

Every Pair Has a Purpose: Wearing a tight dress or skirt? Working out of that gym or playing a quick game of tennis? Trying to hide a bulging tummy? There is a pair out there for you. When buying panties make sure you know what kind works. If you need to wear a sexy, sleek dress, try a thong to minimize lines. If you are going to be running, or doing something that requires a great deal of movement, look for panties that are fit and won’t ride up every time you run. And guess what? If you want to hide that tummy in your new dress for that hot date this weekend, there are panties for that too!

• Be A Material Girl: The material each pair of panties is made of is an excellent way to determine if they are the right ones for you. If you’re looking for practical panties, then go for something made of cotton. Cotton allows your body to breath, so these are recommended for exercising. Cotton is also very comfortable so it may be a good option for your everyday run of the mill pair that you can wear to work or just lounge around in. If you’re looking for something sleek and sexy, choose something made with satin, lace, or Lycra.
• Be Careful when embellishing: Lace and satin ribbons, frills, rhinestones, or little charms can be fun and sexy, but sometimes they just aren’t very practical. If you’re planning on showing them off then those fun styles may be just right for you. However if you’re going to be wearing them with tight clothing or something sleek, then you may want to look for something seamless without all the flare.
• Price Your Panties: Pay attention to the price of panties and use it to govern your decision on when to wear them. Those ultra sexy panties are going to be pricey in comparison to their cotton counterparts. If you are shopping on a budget, go for pairs that are less expensive, more practical, and can be worn with almost everything.

If you are shopping on a budget, it’s also a good idea to figure out what kind of clothing fills your closet. It would be a very smart move to buy underwear that can go with the majority of your pants and skirts. If they are sleek and fitted, purchase thongs or boy cut styles to minimize the occurrence of a panty line. If you’re searching for something for a special occasion and money is not an object then go wild and buy whatever you feel sexiest in.
