(Redirected from Boy Shorts)

Hipster boy shorts are a relatively new underwear option and are gaining in popularity. Some even claim they are replacing other panties. They are crossing generational lines and being worn by grandmothers and teenagers alike.

What are Hipster Boy Shorts?

Hipster boy shorts are tight and extremely short shorts cunningly intended go beneath clothes. They are designed to prevent others seeing from your underwear in low cut pants, but provide more coverage than thongs and even bikini underwear. Some versions provide almost full coverage of your rear, while others only provide partial coverage — think the lower quarter of your rear. They are cut low at the thigh to cover the hips and upper part of the thigh. In addition, these panties tend to gloss over problem areas of the hips and thighs, which may be why they are so popular.

Why Should I Wear Them?

Hipster boy shorts are incredibly comfortable, much more comfortable than thongs. They tend not to ride, but stay in place; though some versions do ride a little. They are perfect for lounging around the house, or wearing beneath pajamas or work out clothes. Some versions are perfect for tighter clothes and dresses too. In addition, they are designed to go beneath low rise pants, a plus if you lean over a lot and wear low cut pants.

Hipster boy shorts are very sexy, some say sexier than thongs. They cover the rear, though not fully. We all know men are visual creatures, and many men find the little part that hipster boy shorts show to be appealing. Men feel like they’re seeing something they shouldn’t. In addition, these panties cover hips and the upper parts of thighs — something most women appreciate. Many designers have added lace, bows and ribbons onto different versions making them more feminine and sexy.

But there is one problem with them. Some versions do leave a visible panty line, though options to eliminate this are getting better and better. Versions of this panty made from a microfiber and without lace, ribbons or embellishment are your best bet. If you are wearing tight clothes and are worried about visible panty line, a thong is still your best bet, though well constructed hipster boy shorts are a close second.

Hipster Boy Shorts

Hipster boy shorts often look great with a sexy camisole rather than a bra. This is great for lounging around the house on hot evenings or for wearing for someone special. If you’re worried about support, wear a bra beneath your camisole or try a camisole with built in support.

Places to Buy Hipster Boy Shorts

When these boy shorts first hit the market, you could only find them at specialty lingerie stores such as Victoria’s Secret. Now just about every lingerie designer has this panty option. You can find versions just about anywhere, including discount department stores like Wal-Mart or Target. They're a sexy option for anyone who wants to look as good as they feel.

Why do women try so hard to avoid panty lines? Men find panty lines very sexy. I love to see them. And I love the new boyshorts! Very sexy indeed. HOT, HOT, HOT! :)

I just wanted to make a comment about hipster boyshorts-- the ones i prefer provide coverage to half of the rear, but not the lower half. They cover the top portion of your hid-quarters to better flatter women with (shall we say) JLO booties. They're extremely comfortable and very sexy--and relatively cheap at places such as Wal-Mart or Target, if youre like me and can't see spending almost $20 on panties.
