How to Buy Boy Shorts
Boy shorts, or hipsters, are panties cut like short and tight undershorts. For many women, boy shorts eliminate the fashion faux pas of visible panty lines and are much more comfortable than thongs.

Look at your clothes. If you wear tight, clingy clothes, you will need boy shorts that are made from a slinky material and are seamless. In addition, if you wear low rise pants and skirts, you will need low rise boy shorts to eliminate anyone from seeing your panties when you bend over.

Decide on a type of fabric. Cotton is going to be the healthiest (reducing the risk of yeast infections) and the most comfortable, though probably not the sexiest. Satin and Lycra blends are going to lay flatter against your skin, potentially eliminating any visible panty lines.

Notice the seaming. While hipsters were originally designed to cut down on visible panty lines, newer versions are actually worse than granny panties due to the seaming. If the boy shorts have thick seaming along the leg holes and waist band, they will be seen through your clothes.

Check the embellishments. Ribbons, lace, beads and rhinestones will make boy shorts cuter and sexier depending on your point of view, but they will make your panties more visible beneath your clothes.

Buy only one pair of boy shorts if you are planning on trying these panties for the first time. This way you can try them out for the entire day. Since boy shorts are designed not to ride up, if you get a pair that rides up, try a different version or try going up a size.
