Jockey No Panty Line Promise

Collette · Chanel

I've never tried the Jockey ones but I would recommend Hanky Panky panties for no VPL.

atlgirl · Gucci

I tried them, for under clingy, unlined skirts & dresses. While they work *pretty* well, they feel like grandma panties to me (no offense to those who like their grandma panties) and they DO give me a line when I bend over...around the outside of my thighs (toward the butt). I don't quite know how to explain that better. I think they're okay but not as fabulous as I'd heard.

I had the exact same experience with them, they were uncomfortably huge (I wear briefs sometimes but wow) and I still had lines

. Now I just wear body by victoria underwear.

rocky · Coach

so is the body by victoria underwear really seamless? I am sick of thongs.

lsubatgirl · Gucci

The body by VS still has a small seam around the legs but its not bad or anything.

I would agree with LSUbatgirl. They do have a seam but it's not really noticeable. I love them and I haven't found any other alternative to thongs, which I have always hated.

I have a few of these Jockeys and they are pretty good as far the whole no lines showing. I think once in a while if you stand a certain way or whatever, yes you can see a slight line but it's not anything horrible. To me it's better than wearing a thong.

As far as the whole grandma panty thing goes, I know what the ladies are talking about. If you get the briefs or the boy shorts, there is a slight grandma feeling. However I bought the low rise bikini version and those are much much better. HTH!

Elvispezley · Nine West

I have some from Kohl's called "Barely There"...I don't know if they sell them anywhere else but I really LOVE them. I have the low rise seamless bikinis and they are the only thing I can wear that is TRULY SEAMLESS besides a thong. I highly recomend them if you can find them. They are also great because they are very low rise, I can wear them under my TR Joeys without any problem.

FashionPrincess · Hermes

I love the VS pink mesh lowrise bikinis (thanks Smash!). I wear them pretty much with everything and no VPL, but some things just require a thong.

Dizzy · Marc Jacobs

I don't know why, but thongs are never uncomfortable for me, while regular panties never seem to stay put. So I pretty much only wear thongs. But sometimes I wear boy shorts. I'm super-picky about VPL, and these usually dont' have any. Unfortunately, I have to keep up with the gym visits or the boy shorts aren't very flattering. (Of course, it's the same way with the thong. And sometimes way worse...)

bean · Kenneth Cole

Blech, I think those are a crock of sh*t, excuse my bluntness. I bought a pair when they first came out. No Pantyline my a$$! I have the VS Pink mesh ones that FashionPrincess is talking about. They are similar to the Jockeys but way cuter, lower cut & more snug fitting, but those will only do underneath thicker fabrics. like FashionPrincess said, some things just require thongs. I hate thongs too but sometimes you just can't get around it. Boyshorts work for me sometimes, but again, not under very thin & clingy fabrics (like say jersey)

For clothes that don't require a thong but something more than your average bikini, I wear undies like these:

They are cotton with a little spandex, and are both cute and comfy.

I've had the same experience. I usually just wear them under things like jeans or work trousers anyway, so nothing that makes them too noticeable. I like the boy shorts

If you want to try the Barely There's they always have them at TJ Maxx and Marshalls.
