I firmly believe that shopping is not the same experience from one person to the next. Everyone has different priorities and their own set of challenges when it comes to building their wardrobe. Searching for the perfect pair of jeans or comfortable sandals may feel arduous for some or joyous for others. Whatever the case, shopping is a very individualized experience, even more so when shopping for undergarments. 

While everyone’s experience, needs, budget, and style differ, there’s no denying that building a strong capsule takes time. Even for lingerie fanatics, it can at times be overwhelming to identify not only the best places to shop, and what’s worth buying. In order to make the process easier, you have to be willing to try different types of underwear (e.g., thongs, classic bikinis, or boxers) to see which works best for you. But if you find you’re more risk-averse and want to skip the trial runs, there’s one fail-proof style you can rely on: cheeky-cut panties.

Characterized by a narrower cut of fabric across the backside (with more coverage than a thong), this style has become known for its sublime balance between functionality and fashion. It’s no surprise that this style has become beloved by women everywhere, and we’ve got the receipts to prove it. Ahead, we’ve rounded up the 27 best cheeky pairs of underwear across the internet. We took into account reviews, price points, materials, functionality, and editorial perspective to ensure each pair is the best of the best. Make room in your dresser because shopping for new lingerie has never been easier.
