The best Underwear To Make Your Bum Look Amazing in A Boudoir Photoshoot
Tanga, High Waisted and Cheeky Knickers.
Knickers, panties, briefs, whatever you prefer to call them are often the least thought about item of underwear people decide on to bring to their shoot. This is a terrible mistake since in our experience, panties are one of the most unflattering outfits in the boudoir catalogue. If they’re too tight and the sides are too thin, love handles will be the result. If they sit too low and are a smidgen too small, mummy tummies will look like middle aged men’s beer bellies. (Oh and by the way, we’re not talking about some women, we’re talking about all women here. There’s no getting away from the effects of tight, ill fitting knickers!)
Thoughtfully chosen knickers are essential if you want an epic bum shot in your Boudoir album. To take an epic bum shot requires good posing and flattering underwear. This can’t be done with attitude and lighting.
Flattering underwear is all about the fit—tighter is not necessarily better. In fact, it’s better to have underwear that’s a little bit too big because with the right posing, no one will even notice.
One piece of advice when shopping for the right underwear is to avoid thin straps. G-strings, for example run a river through the mountains and give a permanent wedgie. They show off maximum bottom but have no control so, our advice for a photoshoot is to steer clear of thongs unless you have the most perfect, model butt. The strings also cut into the sides to amplify ‘love handles’ and it’s not the most flattering look.
So with these tips in mind, here are the 3 best types of underwear to make your bum look amazing!
Among the multitude of options, three distinct styles — Tanga, High-Waisted, and Cheeky knickers — stand out, each possessing its unique charm and appeal. With so many variations of style, the differences between one and another can often be minor. Thongs for example are wedgie free thongs with a little more material at the one end and at the other, a bikini bottom in more delicate material. Add more rear coverage and it will become ‘cheeky’, so the difference between styles can be subtle. They say the ‘devil is in the detail’ though and that’s certainly true of knickers. Put as much thought into what underwear you bring to your shoot as you would a pair of shoes and reap the rewards with more fabulous Boudoir pictures.
1. The Tanga :
A Tanga is characterised by a design that sits somewhere between a bikini and a thong. It typically features a flattering low-rise cut sitting comfortably on the hips, offering more coverage than thongs and g-strings. With plenty of coverage at the front and moderate coverage at the back, tanga briefs are super flattering and comfortable enough to wear all day. Made from soft, comfortable fabric that hugs the body’s curves perfectly.
Flattering and comfortable enough to wear all day, tanga briefs are a must-have for any lingerie collection. Tanga briefs are the perfect go to style for a Boudoir Photoshoot.
Tanga panties balance modesty and sexiness and this accounts for their popularity. They provide coverage where needed while still showcasing a hint of skin, making them a versatile choice for various outfits and moods.
2. The High-Waisted Knicker:
High-Waisted knickers have made a real comeback in the world of lingerie. You’ll no doubt recall Hugh Grant’s ridiculing of Bridget Jones’ ‘Big Knickers’ yet, even he found them sexy.
This style features a higher rise, often reaching or covering the navel. It extends more coverage to the hips and provides a vintage-inspired look.
Despite the Bridget Jones jibes, these are one of the most flattering styles of knickers. High-waisted knickers are a stylish and comfortable option for anyone looking for full coverage and support and comfortable enough to wear all day, Designed with a high-rise waistband that sits comfortably around your waist, these flattering knickers will stay in place throughout the day. You can even choose high-waisted shapewear, with built-in tummy control which will smooth your body to enhance your natural figure. Made from soft, breathable fabric that isn’t restrictive, High-waisted knickers will hug your curves in all the right places. No ‘love handles or Mummy Tummy issues!
The design accentuates the waist, creating an hourglass effect that can be both empowering and timeless.
In our view, these are a great option for a Boudoir Photoshoot since they exude a sense of retro glamour. With their ability to enhance curves and provide additional coverage, they offer a sophisticated and elegant lingerie option.
3. Cheeky Knickers:
Cheeky knickers strike a perfect balance between coverage and exposure.
They typically feature a cut that exposes more of the buttocks than traditional briefs but provides more coverage than a thong.
Designed to sit low on the hips, Cheeky knickers highlight the natural curve of the body. The back coverage is minimal, creating a cheeky and flirtatious aesthetic that adds a touch of sass to your lingerie collection.
Cheeky knickers are perfect for those who want a fun lingerie option. This playful design allows for a mix of modesty and flirtation, making them a popular choice for those seeking a balance between comfort and sexiness.
Conclusion:
Amongst a huge range of lingerie options available - the Tanga, High-Waisted, and Cheeky knicker styles tick all the right boxes for your boudoir photoshoot. The commonality between all of these styles is that they all provide full (or mostly full in the case of the cheeky style) bum coverage.
Underwear with full bum coverage is the most flattering on all body types and make your bum look amazing. Leaving a little to the imagination can be incredibly sexy and underwear like the ones we’ve listed are great examples of this.
Whether you're drawn to the minimalist allure of the Tanga, the timeless elegance of High-Waisted knickers, or the playful charm of Cheeky styles, each option is perfect for Boudoir and flattering for almost every body type.
