Panties are made of a variety of materials and fabrics including satin, silk, pvc, cotton, nylon, mesh, lace, rawhide, leather, lycra, and/or polyester.

In British English, and in places such as Great Britain, Wales, Australia, New Zealand, Scotland, Ireland, South Africa and India, panties are often referred to as knickers. The term knickers is not generally used in The United States and Canada, where the term "panties" is usually favoured.

G-String

A G-string (alternatively gee-string or gee string) is a type of thong is a narrow piece of cloth, leather, or plastic that covers or holds the genitals, passes between the buttocks, and is attached to a band around the hips, worn as swimwear or underwear by both men and women.

A brassiere

A brassiere is an article of clothing that covers, supports, and elevates the breasts. The bra is considered a foundation garment, as well as an undergarment, because of its role in shaping the wearer's figure. It was originally developed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to replace the corset, and has now become, in many parts of the world, the most popular form of undergarment for the upper body, although camisoles and chemises are becoming more popular.

The bra may be worn to support and enhance breast shape during everyday activities and a specialized bra, the sports bra to support and restrain breasts during exercise. Some wearers believe that wearing it will prevent their breasts from sagging later in life.

A wide range of styles of brassieres now exists, to be worn in a variety of situations, and with a variety of outer-garments. For instance strapless, backless and multi-way bra styles specialise in being invisible underneath less than full coverage garments whereas push up and plunge focus on shaping the bust and cleavage. The degree of shaping and coverage of the breasts varies between styles, as do functionality and fashion, fabric, and colour. Styles range from the purely utilitarian to the sensual. Others include various accessory structures such as padding and under wiring.
