High-cut panty, tanga, boyshort, control brief, bikini, shaping panty… buying the right type of panty isn’t as simple as you might think! Just as there are many different body types out there, the number of different panty varieties available also seems endless! To help guide you towards the best choice and to explain how the right panty can help improve your figure, we once again turn to Raymonde Tranchemontagne, Wonderbra’s Senior Design Manager.
Ms. Tranchemontagne, based on your experience, what are the most popular panty types?
It is difficult to say that one type of panty is more popular than another because the final choice is often influenced by taste or needs. First we have to define what women are looking for in a panty and then compare several models to find the one that works best for them.
How do we choose the best panty for our body type and desired comfort level?
Every woman dreams of having a wonderful figure and they can come closer to this ideal by identifying the feature they wish to conceal and then finding the garment offering the best solution. Some panties offer tummy control, others reduce the roundness of the hips, and still others provide lift for the derrière.
We often see references to “slimming” or “shaping” panties – but how can a panty actually shape our body?
To reduce roundness and add control to the necessary areas, the choice of fabric becomes important as it relates to the percentage of Spandex and how it is integrated. All these details, combined with the cut that we work on during the adjustment of the model, allow us to create a slimming panty with specific targets.
So there are different levels of control and support available when it comes to shaping panties, as there are for bras?
When it comes to panties, we tend to talk about control. And indeed, there are several levels of control depending on the desired effect.
Can women of all body types benefit from this feature?
Certainly, but I would say that you would find a greater variety and wider choice in sizes from medium to XXL.
Finally, what advice would you offer to women who are interested in trying a slimming panty for the first time?
Don’t make the mistake of selecting a smaller size, because the garments have already been designed and adjusted to shape the figure. The ideal is to try on a slimming panty of the proper size in the fitting room and compare what your figure looks like to when you wear your regular panty.

This exceptional tribute to femininity is our way of ensuring that you have great support for your special day and that memories of your wedding last a lifetime.
It’s easy to get caught up in the panic of choosing a date, venue, and caterer…not to mention invitations, flowers and a cake…and, of course, the guest list! The best way to plan your wedding is to plan ahead. There are plenty of guides and checklists out there to help, so you can be sure your wedding is tailor-made for you.
You’ve probably heard the expression: “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.”
Something old is a link with your family’s past and symbolizes continuity (perhaps a piece of antique family jewellery).
Something new is for good luck and success. In the past, this was often considered the wedding dress itself. WonderBra me® believes that what you wear under your wedding dress is just as important.
Something borrowed is often a handkerchief, scarf or piece of jewellery—preferably from a happily married woman or dear friend. It represents support from family and friends. What really matters is that you return the borrowed item.
Something blue is the symbol of fidelity and purity. This is typically a blue bridal garter, but can be a blue flower in your bouquet or headdress.
Last, but not least: Remember to bring his ring with you to the ceremony. Oh and, above all, don’t forget to say, “I do”!
