My sister and I’ve been receiving Hanky Panky‘s signature lace thong as a stocking stuffer since I used to be in center college. Yearly, with out fail, we will belief to search out the underwear in its rolled-up packaging and brand-new colorways — which is sensible, seeing as the corporate has 500 shades and 270 prints in its archives. Often, we set up a commerce earlier than opening up the remainder of the presents underneath the tree, shaking our heads in dismay that Santa has not but realized our favourite colours. The one-size-fits-most (sizes 4-14) Original Rise Thong was born in 1986 and boasts 30 yards of thread, making it — in response to many patrons — the stretchiest, most snug thong available on the market. It is also actually stinking cute and appears nice on, bestowing me with extra confidence than another pair of panties I’ve ever tried.
So, how has it taken this lengthy for Hanky Panky to launch swimwear? It feels solely pure that the beloved model, shoppable in over 70 nations and a couple of,500 shops worldwide, would lengthen its experience to the swim class. In any case, if any label might launch the perfect bikini bottom, mastering proportions with a feel-good V-front and V-back waistband, it is Hanky Panky. And though I’ve solely lately begun experimenting with the thongkini, I knew I wished to check out my favourite thong in swimsuit kind — all to see if it might reside as much as the hype.
If any label might launch the proper bikini backside, mastering proportions with a feel-good V-front and V-back waistband, it is Hanky Panky.
Whereas Hanky Panky’s debut swim assortment is comprised of six items whole — together with two one-pieces, a frilly bikini prime, and three bikini bottoms that fluctuate in protection — I chosen the cheekiest look of all of them, opting for the standard black set and the identical one in lavender, this one replete with an identical scrunchie created from leftover swim cloth (which is a part of the model’s sustainability initiative). I wore the fits on a weekend seashore journey two days in a row, simply to make sure that what I used to be feeling was true (and it wasn’t simply my margarita placing me comfy). And lo and behold, this actually was probably the most snug thongkini I had ever worn. It does, actually, really feel similar to the match of a traditional Hanky Panky lace thong, though it is created from a wholly completely different cloth. The high-quality, nontransparent materials permits the wearer to personally tailor their look, due to ruching on the sides that provides stretch. I attempted bringing the straps as much as my waistline, but additionally experimented with the underside sitting decrease and framing my hips.
I am not the largest fan of a bikini prime with ruffles, and this one is impressed by backyard events and summer season meadows to evoke a way of light romance, so I employed a sporty twist with the addition of a baseball cap. The ties on the shoulders additionally felt a bit too delicate for my regular style, nevertheless it’s price mentioning that they stayed fixed, and the plunging bralette stayed in place all day lengthy. I did not even take into consideration the potential for a wardrobe malfunction, which is one thing that does usually cross my thoughts — particularly in a considerably revealing silhouette.
One other bonus is that Hanky Panky’s swimwear, which is out there in sizes XS-XL and ranges in value from $64-$125, additionally options Photo voltaic Guard 50+ to soak up UVB rays, plus Dura Colour to guard towards fading. So, if you find yourself loving your swimsuit as a lot as you do these trusty thongs, you may be certain of its longevity. Whereas the preliminary assortment is out there now at HankyPanky.com, further patterns are being added later within the season, and one thing tells me for those who resolve to spend money on one now, you may be checking again.
In the end, my greatest disappointment is simply that the swimsuits are usually not delivered in the identical traditional rolled packaging because the underwear — as a result of there’s nothing as magical as taking part in “acquire all of them” with everybody’s favourite lace thong. But when there’s any model that may make me overlook a bit superficial element like that within the identify of ridiculously snug swimwear, I should not be shocked that it is Hanky Panky.
