5 Differences Between Cheeky Underwear & Bikini Underwear
Cheeky or Bikini? Like so many things, choosing the right underwear is a difficult task that can stump even the most genius of people. It’s a blessing and a curse to have so many options, but luckily your best friends (us) are here to help give you some guidance.
We would never pit two amazing women’s silhouettes against each other, so instead we are going to highlight the differences that make each of these cuts unique. By the end of this list, you’ll know within your heart which one is more “you.” Or maybe you’ll realize you need both, because you are a fully formed, complex, and multi-layered individual. Either way, let’s get started.
1. Cheekiness
The first key difference between a bikini cut and a cheeky cut is right there in the name. Cheeky Undies show a little peek of your cheeks, while Bikini Undies offer more coverage.
It all comes down to preference. If you don’t want to fully commit to a thong style but still want some cheekage, our Cheeky Undies are the way to go. If you prefer your cheeks fully covered, our Bikini Undies will be your dream come true.
2. Rise
Here’s where the curve ball comes in, so make sure your note-taking pen is at the ready. While our Bikini Undies are more modest in the back, they offer less coverage in the front. This allows them to minimize slippage while maintaining style.
If you’re interested in more coverage up front and like to have a bit of cheek around back, our Cheeky Undies are for you. Are you following along? There’s a quiz at the end (jk).
3. Side Coverage
For questions about side coverage, you can once again turn to the name of the cut for answers. The bikini cut is modeled after a classic bikini bathing suit, so it will have minimal fabric on the sides (to get your tan on). Our Bikini Undies follow this same thought process, with less coverage on the sides and full coverage in the back.
Our Cheeky Undies, on the other hand, offer more robust coverage on the sides. Not only is this a very cute look, but it also makes certain that no slippage will be occurring.
4. The Dreaded VPL
Nobody loves VPL (“visible panty lines,” for those out of the loop). You can get around it by wearing thongs, but what if you don’t like thongs? Are you supposed to just become a thong person overnight? No, you need to stay true to yourself. But that doesn’t mean compromising on VPLs.
Our Cheeky Undies and Bikini Undies have soft, elastic waistbands that minimize slippage and VPLs so that your worries can be a thing of the past. Now your biggest stress can be choosing what print you want.
5. Style
If style is a concern, please lay that to the wayside. Both our Bikini Undies and our Cheeky Undies are extremely good lookin’ and supply style for days, so be rest assured that either choice is equally fashionable. If you need to boil it down to a simple question, just ask yourself: “Do I want cheek? Or no cheek?”
There are no wrong options, really. Both the bikini and cheeky cuts have something to offer, it just depends on what you’re looking for out of your next new pair of Undies. We suggest you meditate, drink some room temperature water, and give yourself a deep, meaningful stare in the mirror. You’ll know. You’ll simply just…know.
