If you’ve ever stood in the mirror wondering if you can see the seam of your underwear through your tights before you yoga class… you’re not alone.
Between skin-tight leggings, and silky skirts and dresses, the dreaded VPL (visible panty line) is sometimes inevitable. And while VPL is absolutely normal (and hey, a least it’s a sign you’re wearing underwear), some women find themselves reaching for a smoother pair of underwear to avoid it.
Invisible underwear or seamless underwear is a popular choice for those wanting to avoid visible lines. The fabric is often laser cut in order to avoid stitched seams and bulky edges, meaning less opportunity for your garments to dig into the skin.
Seamless underwear tends to be very comfortable and stretchy, so it’s important to find the right style, especially if you prefer a more structured pair of underwear that tone and provide shape.
Regardless of whether you prefer a boyleg or bikini brief, we’ve sourced some of the best invisible underwear styles that are available to shop now.
