Cheeky

Cheeky sits at the edge most other cuts avoid — enough coverage to feel considered, little enough to feel deliberate.

About this collection

Cheeky sits at the edge most other panty cuts avoid: more coverage than a thong, less than a bikini or full brief, with a back seam that curves along the lower hip instead of squaring off. The cut reads as intentional rather than modest or minimal — underwear meant to be noticed a little.

This collection brings together low-rise hotpants and cheeky-cut bikinis from Cosabella and our own Journelle Collection. Sizing runs from XS through XL on most styles, with banded sizing (S/M, M/L, L/XL) on select Cosabella pieces.

From the fitting room: cheeky cuts are meant to sit low on the hip — if the waistband keeps riding up toward your natural waist, size up. The back seam should curve just under the fullest part of the hip rather than cut straight across; a seam sitting too high is usually a sign the rear panel runs small, not the waist.

Find Your Cut

Sizing & Rise

Panty fit fails more often as a rise mismatch than a size mismatch. A low-rise that rolls down, a high-waist that digs, a boyshort that cuts into the thigh — almost always a rise or leg-band issue, not the size on the tag. Measure once, match your rise, and you'll stop rotating through a drawer of panties you never wear.

Invisible Under Clothes

Under a sheath dress or tailored trousers, the finish matters more than the cut. Laser-cut and bonded-edge styles sit flat through fabric; most "seamless" styles with sewn edges don't. Our fitters' picks for truly no-VPL panties across every cut.

Women's Cheeky Underwear

Cheeky sits between a bikini and a boyshort — less coverage than a full boyshort or brief, more than a bikini, with a low-rise waistband and a back seam that curves along the lower hip instead of squaring off. It's a flirtier line than a bikini cut without going as minimal as a thong, which makes it a common crossover pick for anyone who finds thongs uncomfortable but wants more shape than a standard brief. Journelle's cheeky edit runs from low-rise lace hotpants to cheeky-cut bikinis, in fabrics from stretch lace to smooth microfiber. All underwear is final sale.
