Fabric Guide
The fabrics behind the feel
From our iconic Signature Lace® to ultra-soft modal and smooth microfiber, every Hanky Panky fabric is chosen for how it feels against your skin.
Signature Lace®
Signature Lace®
Feels like: weightless stretch that never binds or digs in.
The one that started it all. Hanky Panky’s exclusive 100% nylon stretch lace is lightweight, super-soft and beautifully sheer, with iconic stretch that moves with your body instead of digging in or cutting. It’s the secret behind The World’s Most Comfortable Thong®, our Signature Lace® Original Rise Thong. It’s also why our one-size waistbands comfortably stretch from sizes 4–14, adapting to your body through all stages of life, including pregnancy. The Signature Lace® Low Rise Thong one-size waistband fits size 2-12 comfortably.
So soft you never want to take it off, Signature Lace® makes every day feel a little more special. And every big night out a little more confident. Wear it for lounging, sleeping, moving, and everything in between, or layer it with a lace bralette or lace cami for a more styled look. Available in our signature rose floral pattern and an ever-changing range of prints, the lace has the same soft, flexible feel whether it’s solid or patterned.
And because comfort starts with the details, every Signature Lace® style features a 100% cotton gusset. It’s lightweight enough to feel barely there, sheer enough to let the iconic floral pattern shine through, and versatile enough to be both sexy and seriously comfortable. Proof that you don’t have to choose between feeling good and looking good. You’ll find it in lace thong underwear, from the original rise down to the lace g string.
Soft & breathable
SUPIMA® Cotton
Feels like: your softest t-shirt, made smoother.
Ultra-premium SUPIMA® cotton is a responsibly grown, extra-long-staple fiber known for its exceptional softness and strength. Compared to traditional cotton, its smoother fibers resist pilling, tearing and fraying, helping garments hold onto their shape, color and softness wash after wash.
We pair breathable SUPIMA® cotton with our iconic super-stretch Signature Lace® waistband, creating a combination that feels as good as it fits. The cotton is grown on family farms participating in the CottonLEADS℠ sustainability initiative, which promotes responsible cotton production and traceability. Cotton thong underwear that breathes, with lace where it counts. Every style is finished with a 100% cotton gusset.
Smooth & no show
BreatheSoft™
Feels like: a second skin, and nothing else.
A luxurious, ultra-lightweight microfiber nylon-Lycra® spandex knit that feels smooth against the skin and disappears beneath even the clingiest clothes. Its moisture-wicking, quick-drying properties help keep you feeling fresh and comfortable, making it especially well-suited to workouts, warm weather, and everyday wear.
BreatheSoft™ is designed to last, too. Its resistance to pilling and wrinkling helps the fabric stay smooth and polished wash after wash, while its lightweight stretch moves effortlessly with your body. Seamless thong underwear that truly doesn’t show. Every pair is finished with a 100% cotton gusset. Knitted, dyed and finished in Italy, BreatheSoft™ is also Oeko-Tex® 100 Certified.
Ultra-soft & lounge
DreamEase™
Feels like: relaxing on a cloud, minus the cloud.
DreamEase™ is a dreamily soft Viscose + Spandex blend using genuine Lenzing™ viscose rayon fibers. These fibers are CanopyStyle “green shirt” verified, produced in Europe using their sustainable and responsibly-managed processes, and use FSC®, PEFC® and responsibly-managed renewable sources in their production. Oeko-Tex® 100 Certified. DreamEase™ is the perfect thong fabric to sleep and lounge in. The low rise thong and boyshorts panties are just as hard to take off.
Vintage inspired
Retro Lace
Feels like: a hug around the middle.
Retro Lace is a 79% nylon, 21% spandex stretch lace, knit wide and worn high. The extra-generous band is the point. It spreads across the midsection instead of sitting in one narrow place, so it hugs without binding, holds without digging in, and stays exactly where you put it.
The Retro Lace Thong combines the best of our Original Rise and Low Rise Thong, with a wide V-front and V-back band that flatters every body type. It sits high enough to disappear under high rise jeans, skirts, and everything else you wear at the waist. Best fit for sizes 0 to 12, and available in Plus for sizes 14 to 24.
Every Retro Lace style is lined with a 100% cotton gusset for breathability where it counts. You will also find the Retro Lace band paired with a full Supima® Cotton body in our Retro Lace Cotton Thong and V-Kini, giving you that same waistband above a soft cotton fit.
Vintage in reference only. Nothing about the way it wears is.
Leakproof technology
Feels like: your regular lace, with something quietly handled underneath.
Hanky Panky+ takes the Signature Lace® you already own and builds an ultra-thin absorbent gusset directly into it, developed with Saalt and their period-care expertise. There is no separate liner, no added bulk, and no visible difference from the outside.
The gusset absorbs up to 3 panty liners or 3 regular tampons of leakage, whether that is period flow, sweat, or discharge, and it is designed to control odors and bacteria so you stay fresh through the day. It is not treated with PFAS.
Same famous fit, same iconic lace, working a little harder for you regardless of the day of the month. Winner of 2026 Product of the Year USA in period underwear. No compromise, ever.
Hanky Panky Swim
Swimsuit Fabric
Made to move, made to last. Our swim fabric combines four-way stretch with superior elongation and recovery, giving you the freedom to move while maintaining a secure, supportive fit. Dura Color + Aqua Resist help protect against fading over time, while Solar Guard 50+ provides UVB protection for added coverage in the sun.
We chose this fabric with sustainability in mind. Made with recycled fibers from plastic bottles and pre-consumer polyamide, it uses less water and energy to produce while helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions. So you can swim more sustainably, too.
