Living in the era of slinky silk skirts and dresses as we do, you’ve probably been confronted with a VPL (visible panty line) at some point or other. While VPL is certainly not anything to be worried about, some women find themselves reaching for uncomfortable undies to get around it. The comfiest answer? That would be invisible underwear.
Invisible underwear or seamless underwear use laser cut fabric that is designed to closely fit the body. This fabric shouldn’t bunch under your clothing and also is largely free of seams, meaning that there are less spots for it to ‘dig in’ and cause a visible line.
Invisible underwear tends to be very comfortable and stretchy, so it’s important to find the right type, especially if you prefer a more structured pair of undies that tone and provide shape.
Find our shortlist of the best seamless undies to try in Australia below.
