Buying Hanky Panky Lingerie for Your Sweetheart: A Guide for Gentlemen

2011-02-01T12:24:00.005-05:00

Buying lingerie can be an intimidating experience. Here are some helpful hints to make it as easy as possible.

1. What size is she?
Luckily Hanky Panky thongs come in 3 general size ranges, which each fit a wide variety of women. Our low rise and original rise thong panties fit the “average” bottomed woman (low rise fits sizes 2-12 best, and original is a little bigger and fits 4-14 best.) Our Petite Low Rise thongs are designed for the smallest of women, and fit sizes 0-4 best. And if your sweetheart is on the curvier side, our Plus Size Original Rise thongs fit sizes 14-24 best. For other styles, please refer to our Size Chart.

2. What's her style?
Chances are you know what kinds of panties your sweetheart prefers. Valentine’s day is a good opportunity to go a little sexier, but don’t go too far. If she wears cotton briefs every day, now is not the time to get her into a g-string. A good rule of thumb is to go no further than 1 step skimpier than she’s wearing now, or if you want to play it safe, you could try panties that she already loves, in sexier colors or fabrics. (I.E. a lace or sheer mesh bikini rather than an everyday cotton one, or her favorite Hanky Panky thong in hot pink or bright blue.)

If your girl is adventurous, she might like something from our provocative Hanky Panky After Midnight™ collection of ultra-sexy, crotchless & peek-a-boo styles.3. What are her insecurities?
Try to find styles that “accentuate the positive.” If she’s insecure about her tummy, try a trapeze-style babydoll that won’t cling. If she’s not wild about her thighs, try a longer chemise. If she has an amazing butt (and knows it), maybe a thong-back teddy would be a good style for her. Women want to feel confident and sexy in lingerie, so make sure the style you choose will help her achieve that goal.

4. Speaking of styles, this lingerie lingo baffles me! What on earth is a “Tap Pant”?
Please refer to our indispensable Style Guide for explanations of lingerie terminology and styles unique to Hanky Panky.

5. I need some Valentine's Day gift suggestions.
Check out our Valentine’s Day Gift Guide for romantic and sexy gift ideas!

6. I want to get her something truly unique and personal.
Try our personalization tool to create a thong with a special message for your sweetie!

7. I’m still not sure what’s right for her.
We offer e-gift cards in any denomination between $25 and $500. They are emailed to the recipient within 24 hours, or on the date you specify. Then she can pick out her own sexy surprise!

Thong Diary: Flashback

2011-01-05T16:38:00.005-05:00

As a young girl, I used to love to look through my mother's lingerie drawer. Back in the late 50s/early 60s, my mother wore coordinating lingerie: bras, panties, half slips. They were neatly arranged in sets by color.

My father delighted in purchasing them for her, and on more than one occasion, I accompanied him to the lingerie department at J. L. Hudson's in Detroit as he selected just the right pieces for her Christmas or birthday gifts.

My mother passed away 9 years ago, and while I have many extraordinary memories of her, this particular memory was tucked away until tonight when I visited and placed an order on the Hanky Panky website. I especially love the retro and glam pieces, and the original and low-rise thongs are the most comfortable I've ever worn.

Thanks for the memories, Hanky Panky!

Thong Diary: Hanky Panky at the Ballet

2011-01-03T11:57:00.002-05:00

Dear Hanky Panky,

I'm a 40-year old professional and I typically choose cotton panties for everyday attire. While out shopping at a local boutique for something to wear to an upcoming evening at the ballet, I noticed the Hanky Panky section. I decided to add one of the lacy French bikinis to my shopping bag. Am I ever glad I did! They are so pretty, sexy and incredibly comfortable, too. (And it's also gratifying to know that they are made here in the States!)

Not only do I expect to add more French bikinis to my Hanky Panky collection soon, but I now plan to wear them underneath my outfit to the ballet. :) Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Sincerely,

Christy

Thong Diary: Hanky Panky of the Month Club

2010-12-06T09:00:00.004-05:00

Dear Hanky Panky,

I had the pleasure of meeting Lida last month at a work event where she was the keynote speaker, and she encouraged me to share my story on the Thong Diaries. Here goes….

My sisters and I have always been HUGE Hanky Panky fans. I know there are a lot of people like us out there, but we are hands down the biggest fans and between the three of us, we probably own every single color and pattern of Hanky Panky ever made (almost). We are such fans, that my sister Sarah requested for her birthday, tongue and cheek, some new Hanky Panky thongs.

Being a broke college student at the time, I figured this would be a great luxury for her to receive. I started brainstorming clever ways to make the gift a bit more special and personal. A light bulb went off in my head when I remembered that my favorite lingerie store in Boston, French Dressing, was offering a “panty of the month” promotion for Valentine’s Day a few years back. Using this concept as inspiration, I created a “Hanky Panky of the Month Club” gift certificate that I gave to Sarah for her birthday. Every month, for six months, my sister would receive a brand new Hanky Panky thong.

I started in the summer with a pair of nautical-themed stripes and each month Sarah got a special wrapped package from me with a seasonally appropriate pair of undies and often fun sayings. We rounded out December with a red pair with a green waistband for the holidays.

I’m not sure who enjoyed it more–me or Sarah! Shopping for the thongs each month was so much fun, and I could barely wait for Sarah’s reaction when she would receive her new pair! This is a great gift idea, and I would even encourage Hanky Panky to try something like this for customers, and friends/relatives/significant others of Hanky Panky fans. I know that my boyfriend would be forever grateful for this type of a gifting option :-)

Thanks Lida for your great business practices and outstanding product! You are an inspiration to all women and business owners!

Happy Holidays!

Thong Diary: Six Best Friends

2010-12-02T10:16:00.007-05:00

Dear Hanky Panky,

I was stressing about finding the perfect gift for my high school best friends for Christmas. We are all college freshman, so I was looking for just the right thing to give them when we come home to exchange presents.

During high school, we six girls were absolute best friends. We have many hilarious stories regarding our Hanky Panky undies. When I found out that it was possible to personalize them, I knew I had found the perfect gift!

I personalized them each to say "six." So, whenever they wear them they will remember our amazing times in high school. I got each girl her favorite color and I am so excited to give them to them for Christmas!

Thank you Hanky Panky for your fun personalization option!

Sincerely,
Sonja

Thong Diary: Purely Academic

2010-11-15T11:58:00.003-05:00

My best friend and I met our freshman year of college at Barnard. That was 7 years ago. Unfortunately, our post graduate studies have kept us separated but we make sure to visit as often as we can. Recently, during a visit to New York City we visited our old campus to see the new student center. While in the student store, we couldn’t believe that our favorite underwear had made their way to our alma mater with Barnard bedazzled in crystals on the waistband. We had the pleasure of meeting Hanky Panky CEO and Barnard graduate Lida Orzeck at a function senior year and were delighted to see her continuing to show her support to Barnard years later. Needless to say we both had to have a pair and also purchased a pair for her little sister who just started her freshman year. Many thanks for your wonderful undies from two Barnard alums!

Sincerely,
Ashley and Charlotte

Thong Diary: 5 Things I Can't Live Without

2010-11-09T13:39:00.005-05:00

I can count five things that have vastly improved my life, and the Hanky Panky retro thong is amongst them.

As a plus-size gal it's hard to find attractive undies that aren't either designed for grannies or inappropriate for my body type. And the idea of a thong was preposterous! They are butt-floss! Painful! Weird-fitting!

All of this changed when I was given a black plus size retro Hanky Panky thong. It was night and day to the $4 Target® panties I was wearing. The retro thong fit like a dream. The dreaded visible panty line was abolished forever. They were pretty without being too delicate to stand up to wearing or washing. And the thong part absolutely did not cut me in half. It merely covers—without entering—the butt cleavage.

I have about 15 pairs of Hanky Panky retro thongs, a couple regular thongs and three pairs of boy shorts, too. They truly have been transformational as I am always comfortable and confident—no more pulling at my clothes or worrying about being able to see my panties. Over two years later, my original pair is still going strong. And boy, if they could talk, I'd have to shoot them.

Want to know what those five life-changing things are?

Here goes:

My iPhone® wakes me, keeps me on schedule, connects, entertains and educates me.
My DVR not only lets me conveniently record shows, it lets me pause them so I can listen to the latest cool thing that my husband has to say during the last five minutes of every movie.
My Scottevest® hoodie carries my everything in its 17 pockets.
My retainers keep my recently transformed teeth in place, having gone from snaggle-toothed to practically perfect.
My Hanky Panky retro thong provides a beautiful, seamless frame to my ample butt.

Thanks for everything that you guys do. I really love my Hanky Panky lingerie.

Love,

Cat

Thong Diary: Family Tradition

2010-11-02T15:11:00.002-04:00

My grandmother was very generous with my mother when she was growing up—if my mother liked something of my grandmother's, it would be hers. My mother feels it is important to continue that tradition and I'm glad.

I am shameless in my requests and she always says, “yes.” Imagine my surprise when I discovered a box from Nordstrom containing a coat (for me) and a Hanky Panky thong. I asked if it was for me. She said, “NO.” It was hers. Then, I asked if I could have it. Again, she said, “NO,” but she would buy me some.

I can't wait to find out for myself why your thongs are so great. And I'm glad my mom is treating herself to nice undies, too.

On the heels of the recent successful launch of customization on its website, Hanky Panky has partnered with The Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC), a division of IMG Worldwide, to create a co-branded collection of lingerie. For the preliminary launch, logos and colors of seven colleges are featured on Hanky Panky’s most popular items, including thongs, boyshorts and camisoles. The schools featured in the initial launch include: Auburn University, The University of Alabama, Louisiana State University, University of Florida, University of Georgia, University of South Carolina, and University of Illinois.

“Women are as fiercely loyal to their Hanky Panky brand undies as college students are to their schools. Our collegiate program perfectly combines these allegiances,” said Lida Orzeck, Hanky Panky CEO.

A selection of Hanky Panky tops and bottoms premiered with each school’s iconography applied in rhinestone crystals. Every college’s official colors act as a backdrop to the logos.

"Our client institutions in the program are looking forward to a successful launch of this new licensee," said Scott Bouyack, Vice President of Apparel Marketing for The Collegiate Licensing Company.

The collection is available at www.hankypanky.com and various stores surrounding the participating schools. Prices range from $25 to $52.

Thong Diary: Fall Favors

2010-10-18T12:21:00.003-04:00

Dear Hanky Panky,

I am throwing a bridal shower for a friend of mine in late October. I was thinking of party favor ideas to give our guests and thought about soaps, candles, cookies, or picture frames. I really want to give a memorable and fun gift!

I was getting ready to go out shopping for favors and laid out my clothes for the day. I looked at my red Hanky Panky thong. I thought, "wouldn't it be great to give those as favors?" So I am! I purchased Hanky Panky thongs in great fall colors like red, green, brown, and purple. I am going to arrange them in a big basket to hand out by the front door as people leave! I am so excited and know they will be a bit hit!

Happy Fall,

Annie

Ask the Panty Panel: Are the thongs truly "one size fits all"?

2010-08-27T14:07:00.019-04:00

Ask the Panty Panel:
Are the thongs truly "one size fits all"? -SweetPeonies

While it would be impressive to make a thong that truly fit everyone, it is nearly impossible to achieve in a comfortable undergarment! However, we offer a variety of fits and styles of thongs to accommodate most women sizes 0 to 24.

Here is an overview of our most popular thongs:

4811 Original Rise Thong
This is the thong that started it all. Made of super-soft sheer stretch lace with a flattering non-binding v-waistband. Waistband hits high on hips--usually right between the hip bones and waist. Virtually invisible under clothes, this style fits sizes 4 through 14 best.

4911 Low Rise Thong
This is the 4811's "younger sister." Made of super-soft sheer stretch lace with a flattering non-binding v-waistband. This style hits very low on the hips--well below the hip bones. Undetectable beneath the skimpiest of clothes, this style generally fits sizes 2-12 best.

6334 Modal Midrise Thong
This buttery soft modal-spandex jersey knit thong with flattering, non-binding lace v-waistband fits right between the low rise and the original rise, at about hip-bone level. This style fits sizes 2 to 14 best.

9K1926 Retro Thong
A high-waisted thong with figure-flattering coverage. It is designed with an extra-wide band of lace that hugs your midsection & tricks even thick tummies into feeling super svelte. This style fits sizes 0 to12 best.

4911XS Petite Low Rise Thong
Created especially for the smallest of women, the petite low rise thong sits low on the hips and one size fits sizes 0 to 4 best. Made of super-soft sheer stretch lace with a flattering non-binding v-waistband.

4811X Plus Size Original Rise Thong
This version of the Original Rise Thong was developed to fit and flatter sizes 14 to 24. Made of super-soft sheer stretch lace with a flattering non-binding v-waistband. Waistband hits high on hips--usually right between the hip bones and waist. Virtually invisible under clothes.

9K1926X Plus Size Retro Thong
Our wildly-popular plus-sized version of the retro thong hits high on the waist, and its wide lace waistband gently smooths your tummy. This style fits sizes 14 to 24 best.

Thong Diary: Changed My Ways

2010-08-23T09:00:00.002-04:00

One day long ago, my dearest girls and I were emailing (as we often did, since we lived in four corners of the US), on the most important topic of panties! They were going on and on about the surprising comfort and ease of wearing thongs! I was in disbelief. I had tried them once and horrible memories of childhood wedgies (compliments of my big brother), entered my mind at mach speed. Off they went and I vowed to never go there again!

As I so eloquently shared my experience with my girls, they told me to try the very unusually-named, and oh-so-comfortable thongs by Hanky Panky. Well, I lived in a small, remote town that did not carry any such panties and I told them so. Hence, my vow to never allow those "types" to come near my "nether regions" continued!

So, my days of discount store full-coverage panties served me well until a very delightful day that May (my birthday)! As I returned home after a long day of work, I received a package from all three of the girls! Lo and behold, a pair of Hanky Panky thongs blessed my home and I dared to give them a try! How could I not? These are the ladies I trusted and adored all my young life!

I did it. I actually put them on for an entire day of work. I was convinced that I would be emailing them about how horrible the experience was and how could they say they love me, after putting me through such pain! But, to my surprise, there was no pain, there were no lines, there was only LOVE! And from that moment on, I have embraced not only the undying appreciation of my girls but the love for Hanky Panky low-rise thongs!

Thank you for changing my ways!

Thong Diary: Exposed Curves

2010-08-20T09:00:00.001-04:00

I'm a man who enjoys women with curves. So, it should go without saying that I like to see as much of those curves as possible. The issue with most of my girlfriend’s underwear is that it covers up the best parts. I asked her if she would ever consider wearing a thong. The answer was always about a lack of comfort, which is understandable.

I searched on the internet for a sexy, yet comfortable thong for her. I came across an article about this company called Hanky Panky, whose thongs were given great reviews. I purchased an original rise thong for her to try out and she loved how it fit her body. I get to see more of her shapely and beautiful figure anytime she wears it. She now wears sexy underwear, something she thought impossible before Hanky Panky came into her life.

Thong Diary: Post-Surgical Hanky Panky

2010-08-09T09:00:00.001-04:00

Almost a week ago, I had ankle surgery, which everyone knows, leads to a cast that impedes regular shower habits. It was also at about this time that I saw Hanky Panky featured on Rachel Ray. When my pretty panties arrived, I was very excited. Not only do they live up to the promises of flattering comfort, but they also help me feel beautiful while my wardrobe is limited to basketball shorts and other fitness-type garb. When my fiancé saw me in them, he too was a satisfied customer. Hanky Panky is such a comfort in this time of post surgical pain.

Thong Diary: My Favorite Beginning to End

2010-08-06T11:32:00.005-04:00

About two years ago I fell and injured my back. I went to the hospital and had x-rays done and I had my Hanky Panky panties on.

My back was not broken thank god, but I had to have physical therapy. As the therapist manipulated my back and I stretched as far as I could, my Hanky Panky panties were with me! They were the only comfortable underwear that I could wear that did not ride up in the back. Months of therapy did not do any good and I had to get epidural steroid shots. Hanky Panky panties were the only ones that I could wear so the doctor had maximum access to my back, not to mention I could keep some of my modesty while laying on the cold steel table.

Well it is now a year later and at the end of August 2010 I will be having back surgery, and yes you guessed it they will be rolling me into the OR in my Hanky Panky panties!!!!!

Sincerely,

Susan M

Thong Diary: 41 Glorious Weeks of Hanky Panky

2010-08-02T09:08:00.000-04:00

I've worn nothing but Hanky Panky original rise thongs for years, so I have a wonderful array of rainbow hues in my lingerie drawer. When I got pregnant, I dreaded having to put aside my pretty lacy under-things and wear awful, gigantic granny panties.

I decided I would wear my Hanky Panky beauties as long as possible—and to my delight and surprise, they remained comfortable and snug-fitting throughout my entire glorious 41-week pregnancy! During those 10 months, I had so much fun playing with colors. I wore thongs in gender-neutral hues until we found out we were having a girl, and after that I practically wore out all of my pink and other girly shades.

As soon as possible after our daughter's birth, I was back in my favorite comfortable, sexy, sassy lacy thongs and treated myself to a bunch of new colors as a "mommy" gift to myself. Hanky Panky, thank you for such a great product that can flex with any and all aspects of a woman's life and figure!

Thong Diary: A Perfect Match

2010-07-30T10:10:00.000-04:00

I love to wear matching bras and undies, but always find that pretty bras never come with comfortable and flattering thongs! They're invariably too "stringy" or too high cut or they squeeze me in all the wrong places, giving me a "muffin top" before I've even put my jeans on. So, I ended up only buying bras that had nice matching bottoms—which obviously limited my choice substantially! And then I found Hanky Panky. What a lifesaver! I now buy bras and then buy a Hanky Panky low rise thong of the same color to match. So, not only do the top and bottom match, but I also look and feel fantastic! Thanks so much. You've not only made buying thongs the easiest thing ever, but you've eased my bra buying process, too.

I've moved to Hong Kong now and have ordered some in the US for a friend to bring to me when she visits. Can't wait for the day when you ship overseas!

Ask the Panty Panel: Why can’t I machine wash and dry my Hanky Panky thongs?

2010-07-29T13:37:00.001-04:00

Ask the Panty Panel:
Why can’t I machine wash and dry my Hanky Panky thongs?

Our waistband lace is a nylon-spandex blend. The spandex fiber gives the thong its amazing stretch and recovery, helping it to hug your curves perfectly, without cutting in or binding. While spandex is truly a “miracle fiber” (it can stretch to 500x its length and still snap back to its original dimensions), it is somewhat fragile.

Because lace has such an open and delicate construction, the spandex fibers are a crucial part of the fabric structure. When the spandex eventually wears out, it will render the lace band unstable.

At the molecular level, the polymer chains that make up spandex fiber look like jumbled up spaghetti. When the fiber is stretched, the polymer chains straighten out. When it is released, the polymer chains snap back to their natural jumbled spaghetti-like state.

The molecular bonds that keep these chains together are relatively strong. However, heat (from hot water or machine drying) and alkaline environments (from caustic detergents and bleaches) cause these bonds to break, leaving the chains shorter, and the fiber loses its elasticity. Eventually the chains will become so short that the integrity of the fiber is irreparably compromised and loses all recovery.

This is why we emphatically suggest that you never use harsh detergents or bleach (which are alkaline). Our specially formulated lingerie wash is pH neutral and was created to gently clean stretch fibers. The extreme heat and agitation of machine drying is also deadly to stretch fibers.

Best practice is to hand wash in cool water with our lingerie wash, rinse twice to ensure removal of all detergent and lay flat or hang to dry. This will ensure your panties a reasonably long life.

We recognize that this is more time than some people are willing to dedicate to caring for their under-things. If you must machine wash, please use the gentle cycle, a mild, pH neutral detergent and protect your lingerie from snags and undue stress by placing it in a wash bag. After the cycle is completed, Please hang or lay flat to dry. Machine drying will wear out your lingerie very quickly and will eventually destroy it.

Thong Diary: HP, the choice of stylists

2010-06-29T10:41:00.000-04:00

I made an appointment to have creative professional stylist, Meryl Gabay, look at my wardrobe and tell me what to wear for a photo shoot. She was also going to rummage through some of the pieces of clothing in my closet and tell me what to toss and what to keep. The woman has a great eye for detail and she knows how to make her clients look their best.

As we’re planning the morning of our meeting, I ask her if there is anything that I can do to get ready for her. Would she like coffee waiting? Should I be wearing make-up? How should I wear my hair? Is she afraid of dogs? “No, No, No, Susan, don’t worry about that stuff, just make sure you are wearing Hanky Panky underwear. They make the best fitting under layers which eliminate any potential lines in your clothing.” Since that famous day, Meryl and I have become friends, and I hear about her busy days with clients. The one thing that is consistent is that she tells all her clients to wear Hanky Panky. And she’s right, “look, Ma, no lines” which is a good thing because Meryl doesn’t believe in pantyhose.

Thong Diary: A Knock-Out Interview

2010-06-10T14:18:00.000-04:00

One night I was researching my dream college, Barnard, as I sat down to write my college essays, and I came across the online college store. I was so surprised to see that the store sold Hanky Panky thongs! It was just another benefit to my already perfect school. But then I saw that one of the founders of Hanky Panky had attended the school, and I thought it would only be fitting to buy a thong as a good luck charm for the college process. I saved it, without wearing it, until my interview for Barnard.
The interviewer was so impressed by me that a few months later I got my acceptance letter. I think it's no coincidence that using my favorite thong to link me into a legacy of bright women graduating from Barnard certainly helped my chances secretly! But I also know that wearing it made me feel extra confident, just as I'll feel at Barnard, and it's a "good luck charm" I plan to use to my advantage frequently in the future!

Thong Diary: Rediscovered Femininity

2010-06-10T12:33:00.000-04:00

year ago, I had surgery for a hysterectomy and leaky bladder repair. I had problems for so many years with very heavy lengthy periods and a bladder that was constantly leaking. I had to wear incontinence pads 24 hours a day. I only had ugly underwear since there was no point in wearing anything nice. They would only get ruined. I felt totally miserable about my femininity.

I made a vow that after the surgery every pair of underwear I owned was going to be thrown out and I would get lovely sexy new ones. And I did!

They have been replaced with Hanky Panky lace thongs 4811X in every colour I can possibly get. 12 and counting so far! Even we bigger girls like sexy undies and these are fantastic. They are so comfy. Keep making the larger size in more colours! I am now 51 and I have never felt more confident and sexy in my whole life.

I live in a small town and even though the boutique here carries Hanky Panky, they seem to have an aversion to keeping the larger sizes in stock. This did not stop me at all. I now buy them online and I am always seeking the colour I do not have.

I am totally obsessed with these undies. They are like collecting colourful candies. It is always fun to try and decide, “what colour today?” (Today is yellow!) I have the prettiest clothesline when it's delicates wash day. Reminds me of Buddhist prayer flags on a windy day.

Suzanne

Thong Diary: Small Things Matter

2010-06-10T10:48:00.000-04:00

Hello Hanky Panky,

I was very skeptical when my friend turned me onto these. I was remarking that I needed to find some pretty, nice-fitting undies, because mine were looking really ragged (I hadn't bought new underwear in over 5 years). She said that she always got something called Hanky Panky from Nordstrom’s, and although expensive, she had a standing order for these as gifts from her husband.

Life is very stressful right now, as my employment situation (like so many others') is precarious, and there have been illnesses and death within my closest circle of family. Visiting is difficult due to lengthy distances, and cost is always a concern.

I don't have a lot of money, and I know it is silly and even frivolous, but having pretty underwear has become a small thing I can do for myself. After shopping around, I took the plunge and ordered 6 pairs of Hanky Panky thongs. I figured it was an investment in necessary clothing.

I was waiting anxiously and hoping they would be all that the hype suggested (I read the Thong Diaries). They were expensive, and I was feeling guilty about spending so much. Well, I needn't have worried; they are wonderful! I Love Them!! They are definitely worth the money, and I will be taking the very best care of these to make sure they last for years.

Thank you so much for having a great product! Things are still stressful, but at least I have awesome underwear. Small things DO matter, and every time I put them on, they make me feel a bit brighter.

Hanky Panky Bridal Guide Part 1: Wedding Day Essentials

2010-06-04T11:48:00.000-04:00

Bridal Season is upon us, and that means all the brides-to-be are busy searching for the perfect items to complete their trousseaus, and loved ones are searching for the perfect gift. Here is the first installment of our 4 part Bridal Guide.

Wedding Day Essentials

Garter: Leg garters are a classic bridal accessory. Many brides opt to wear two: one special “keepsake” garter, and another plainer one for the traditional garter toss. Hanky Panky offers several different styles, and even has a set with 2 included.

Panties: Depending on the style of your gown, your panties can run the gamut from something frilled and bedecked with bows under a full ball gown to a minimal g-string to disappear beneath a slinky bias-cut gown.

Our thongs are a universally loved choice. We offer a variety of plain and embellished styles in original rise, low rise, petite and plus size. They’re even available with crystal embellishments declaring everything from “I DO” to your fiancé’s initials.

If you’re a little more modest, (and likely, more people will see you in your underwear on your wedding day than any other day of your life), our boyshorts might be more your style.

If your gown is a sheath or trumpet silhouette, our Retro Thong may work for you. Its wide lace band smooths out your midsection with light control. Available in One Size to fit sizes 2-12 and One Size Plus to fit sizes 14-24. Also available in our luxurious cross-dyed Marguerite Lace.

Thong Diary: A Healing Gift

2010-06-04T11:25:00.000-04:00

Although I just turned 49 when I had my double mastectomy, I considered myself a young woman. Following the surgery, I began the process of returning to feeling whole and attractive to myself and to my husband. That was when I wanted to stop wearing “functional” clothing and turn to clothing that made me feel more womanly.

My cousin’s daughter sent me my first Hanky Panky panties. She could not have known the tremendous impact that wearing beautiful and comfortable underwear would have on my recovery. The psychological and emotional boost contributed to my developing confidence and acceptance during my reconstructive process.

I attended the wedding of the special young woman who made such an impact on me and that is when I shared my story with her.

I am now a mentor for breast cancer patients and I believe that helping breast cancer survivors strengthen their self-image through everything from exercise, intimacy, or treating themselves to something special—such as something lacy—drastically improves self-image and recovery. Expressing acceptance and encouragement as a woman transitions from a pre-cancer to a post-cancer body is very important. Hanky Panky panties and camis did this for me!

Thong Diary: Work Panties

2010-06-01T11:39:00.000-04:00

I am a yoga instructor. I suffered wearing a variety of "performance" and "wicking" thongs so as not to have embarrassing panty lines under my yoga pants. My husband, who is a giant fan of thong undies, would get sad when I took off my "work undies" but they were simply too uncomfortable to keep on after work.

Then I read about Hanky Panky low rise thongs and thought I'd give them a try. I got a darling pink and printed pair and let me tell you, they were worth the price. My husband was happy that I kept them on after yoga class.

Since then, and about 20 pairs or so later, we still get nostalgic when I put on that original pair. They truly are the best thing ever and I can not imagine wearing anything else. Thank you!

Thong Diary: Swanky Pankies

2010-05-15T15:55:00.000-04:00

I don't think my fiancé was familiar with Hanky Panky lingerie before we met (or so he tells me...) and they are the only kind that I wear.

When I am getting ready to go somewhere, I open the Hanky Panky drawer and let him choose which ones he wants me to wear (he likes to feel involved and it won't do to let him choose the actual outfit, so...) I swear he is just as excited about every new Hanky Panky purchase as I am.

I bought a very ruffly pair a year or so ago that very quickly became his favorite. They are known as my "swanky pankies". There is always a Hanky Panky gift involved in holidays (personalized ones for Valentine's Day, Christmas ones at Christmastime, etc). They have taken on a life of their own in this relationship; panties of any kind now are referred to as "hanks".

We are getting married in June and I plan on wearing the Roslyn thong and garter down the aisle!

Thong Diary: Campus Hanky Panky

2010-05-12T11:41:00.000-04:00

The past four years of my life were spent as a poor student. I lived away from home, my eating habits were terrible and more often than not, I grappled with the decision to buy more groceries or buy more liquor. Around Christmastime, my roommate and I went to a boutique to purchase a present for a friend.

Haphazardly she picked up a three-pack of Hanky Panky thongs, turned to me and said, "Oprah wears these".* When we looked at the price, I was surprised. The salesclerk told me that it was the best underwear she had ever purchased. I was probing her with questions and was determined to prove that my lace thongs, (purchased at a very popular retailer) were the same thing. I decided to put my ignorance to rest and remembered that my roommate owed me $20 from a night out at the bar. I asked my roommate to give me one of the thongs and cancel her outstanding debt.

As university students, we approached the Hanky Panky thongs in the most economical way: one pair for my roommate, one pair for me and the last pair would become the present for the friend we were originally shopping for.

Needless to say, my roommate, our friend and I have all finished our undergrad and our Hanky Panky thongs lasted the whole way through! When I look in my underwear drawer, 99% of the pairs were purchased within the last six months, which shows how often I recycle my underwear.

Yesterday I decided that it was in my best interest to toss out all my non-Hanky Panky underwear and I bought five new Hanky Panky thongs!

I have turned over a new leaf.

Thong Diary: Bonding Over Panties

2010-05-02T15:45:00.000-04:00

After my wedding a few years ago, my mother in-law gave me 3 pairs of Hanky Panky panties. I immediately thought, "Awkward--now she will know what panties I wear!" But much to my surprise we bonded over panties! We both love them so much and I became a Hanky Panky advocate to all my friends.

They are the only panties I wear and they got me through 2 pregnancies. Thank goodness my mother in-law gave them to me years ago!

Thong Diary: Biking Bride

2010-05-01T16:10:00.000-04:00

I've always been a cotton hipster type of gal. I'd much rather suffer panty lines than the discomfort of a thong.

My friend recently gave me a pair of your low rise thongs as the "something blue" for my wedding day and I don't remember thinking about my undies once. We even biked seven miles to our reception!

Thank you for allowing me to focus on more important things on my wedding day.

Thong Diary: Hooked

2010-04-22T11:47:00.000-04:00

I was sick and tired of skinny little thongs with straps that dig into your skin or leave a visible panty line that tells the whole world exactly where your underwear is residing at any given moment of the day.

I heard about Hanky Panky panties and researched them online. I loved the look, the wide band that stays flat, and all the wonderful colors. I also love the vintage thong just to change things up a little now and then.

I placed my first order and eagerly awaited my shipment. The day the panties arrived at my house, I practically ripped the package open with my teeth to get at them. I immediately stripped down to try them on and WOW, they were EVERYTHING that I hoped they would be.

I have a drawer full of expensive panties that CAN’T COMPARE to my Hanky Panky thongs. I love them, my MAN LOVES them, I’m HOOKED!

Thong Diary: The Great Outdoors

2010-04-14T15:58:00.000-04:00

I moved from SC to WY for a summer to work on a ranch. I spent my hours cleaning, hiking, and riding horses. With only ONE suitcase of clothing for 5 months, you can imagine the wear and tear on my small underwear supply. A co-worker mentioned her obsession with Hanky Panky and how much more comfortable they were with all of the activities we had going on. I scoffed at her wearing them in the atmosphere we were in--way, way too pretty for the outdoors...

That is, until I splurged on a pair.

Talk about comfort! Without question, I got rid of the panties that traveled cross country with me. In their place I have slowly acquired a few more Hanky Panky thongs. When I'm out fishing, or camping, or going on a run, I love that I have these beautiful little things on underneath. It makes me feel so feminine while I'm doing the rugged outdoor stuff.

My Best,

Hannah

Thong Diary: Life's a Beach

2010-04-07T15:37:00.000-04:00

I have been living in Mexico for 18 years at the end of a dirt road in a one turtle town. I recently came to the United States and I met someone who was an image consultant. Transforming my third world dog appearance was like a blank canvas to her. The joke is, "you know the word for underwear in Spanish on the beach? Nada. Nothing." Me and half the town don't wear them. No one cares. I keep two pair for emergencies, (to make my mother more comfortable).

Well, my image consultant took me to a Dolce Bella to shop. I had her pick me out "panties" and of course they were Hanky Panky! I feel so girly and sexy now. Not a day goes by without my Hankie Panky thongs, and I am taking a pair back for each of my girlfriends. I'm trying to start a new trend in the developing world.....

Standing on the beach in panties,

Kay

Thong Diary: Hanky Panky Cougar

2010-04-05T12:30:00.000-04:00

Dear Hanky Panky,
OK, I shouldn’t be telling this story, but I will, because I would love to help any women who are still wearing granny panties. I owned a company, and my office manager used to make fun of my granny panties all the time. One day, we were working together on a project, and he grabbed the back of my panties, declaring, “We can use these for parachutes! You need to get with it. Only old ladies wear those!” The funny thing is he’s 16 years younger than I am, and as I was going through a bad divorce, I didn’t care much about my underwear at the time.

Well, a year later, I was in Nordstrom with a friend who loves Hanky Panky. She was buying some, so I asked her if they were comfortable. She said, “Oh yes. I won’t wear anything else!” So, I bought myself some. Now I won’t wear anything else, either, because not only are they comfortable, I scored in them! They got me a new husband, ha ha!

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I could marry a younger man, but I did. I was previously married to my high school sweetheart for years, so when I hooked up with my current husband, it was crazy! The cute thing is I married the guy who told me to get with it and stop wearing granny panties. Once he saw me in my Hanky Panky thong, dang, he was all over me! He is 28, and I am 43. People call me a cougar. It’s too funny, but if Demi can do it, anyone can. Hanky Panky is my hero! You scored me a great man.

I am no longer in business for myself. We got married and will celebrate our second anniversary on May 6th. He joined the Army a little over a year ago, and his first duty station is in Germany. Well, he is gone for training, but will be back just in time for our anniversary, so I want to surprise him with a custom Hanky Panky thong. He will love them. His name is Royal, so they will have a heart and “Royal” on them. They will be royal blue for his birthstone: sapphire.

Thank you so much for making these panties, because we did “hanky panky” around and fell in love.

PS: I’ll let you know how the custom ones go. :)

Thong Diary: Frugal Thoughts

2010-03-11T12:17:00.000-05:00

Well, I am, without a doubt, the cheapest—err most frugal—person I know. So I never spent much on underthings. Like a lot of women, I find much women's underwear VERY uncomfortable, misery-making, in fact. A colleague suggested I do as she does—wear her hubby's boxer briefs. So I did. She was right; men's boxer briefs are very comfy. I scored about 20 after a bunch of new ones were donated to Habitat for Humanity post-Katrina. They were a quarter! I was set for life.

A few weeks ago, another colleague took me aside and whispered that my men's boxer briefs were showing. Since we are professors, this might be mirth-inducing for the students.

Like all teachers, I did the research and discovered your large cadre of devotees. However, I scoffed at the testimonials and tried some cheap knock-offs. VERRRRY uncomfortable.

Then I ordered my daughter a gift from a tony store and added ONE PAIR of the original lace thongs (since it didn't add to shipping! Very frugal!). Well, now I am a convert. I wash my single pair out EVERY NIGHT.

I am going to get a few more soon. I figure if I have 4 @ 18 dollars=72 dollars. Hey! That's only $6.00/month. That's only 20 cents a day! Don't all the frugalistas say to consider cost per wear?

Thanks for a great product.

Thong Diary: Salute Your Hanky Panky Panties!

2010-03-01T17:14:00.000-05:00

Dear Hanky Panky,

My fiancé and I have been together for three years and he has grown to love Hanky Panky just as much as I do (he has no other choice)! He is currently in the United States Air Force on a Special Duty Assignment where his Command travels around the country and even overseas almost 200 days a year.

One evening before a 2 month deployment, he said, "Let me pick a pair of ‘Pank’s’ to take with me." I instantly lit up but couldn't decide which pair I could part with!

It is now a tradition; every time he leaves for a trip he picks a different pair of my Hanky Panky thongs and packs 'em in his suitcase! Yes, I have over 50 pairs of HP’s! My undies have seen more of the world than I have but they are certainly safe with my Airman! :)

Love,
CM
Alexandria, VA

P.S. He starts off every "Skype Date" we have with the pair of "Pank's" that he picked…on his head.

Thong Diary: Granny Thongs

2010-02-23T16:26:00.000-05:00

Dear Hanky Panky,

My Grandmother recently had a stroke and passed away. My mother, sister and I gathered to see her through hospice in West Palm Beach. As you can imagine, it was a tough time for all of us. Not having made it home for Christmas the December before, made it harder for me as it was our last with Grandma. The last time I had seen her was when I was working a conference in her town and she stopped by to help.

On the day of my grandmother's funeral, my sister and I were getting dressed in the guest room. She spotted my teal and floral signature Hanky Panky Most Comfortable Thong and busted out laughing, "I can't believe Grandma got you that thong too!"

It took me a minute to understand why our 86 year-old, church-lady Grandma was purchasing thongs at all. And then it hit me, I was lucky enough to have Lida on a panel just one year earlier in West Palm Beach. Hanky Panky had generously provided thongs for our gift bags. Grandma had helped stuff the gift bags. Turns out that next Christmas (her last) a thong ended up in a stocking or two. Grandma had borrowed from the gift bags!

Needless to say, my sister and I laughed for a good while and it made everything a bit lighter. Thank you Hanky Panky for making a great memory during a tough time! My sister and I still laugh every time one of us pulls up the waistband on that signature thong!

Best,
EC

Thong Diary: Bridesmaid Bonanza

2010-02-10T11:34:00.000-05:00

Dear Hanky Panky,

On my wedding day, I wore your low rise bridal thong so that I could look and feel as beautiful as I had always imagined. Your thongs give me the confidence I desire in lingerie.

In turn, I wanted to give each of my seven bridesmaids a gift that would make them feel beautiful. So, of course, I gave them each a pink bridesmaid thong. One of my bridesmaids even cried, "This is the best day ever—my best friend is getting married and I am going to be smokin'!"

All of my bridesmaids shared this sentiment and told me that it was so nice to have been given a gift that made them feel as confident and sexy standing up in front of an audience as I did. They sure needed it too—about 10 minutes before walking down the aisle, we each took a quick bathroom break. All of our dresses had sashes on them. And we ALL dipped them in the toilets!

There was nothing we could do! Each of our dresses had a 4 inch watermark down the end of the sash.

My bridesmaid Jess said it best, "Whatever, at least we are sexy as hell underneath it all."
Quickly, we had the photographer snap a picture of our disaster and we just smiled and laughed all the way down the aisle.

Later, at the reception, I had several guests come up to me and say, "Wow, you and your friends are some of the happiest girls we have ever seen." Yep, that sure is true.

So, thank you Hanky Panky, for lightening up a tough situation and making us all feel like the amazing women we are!!!

Anne
