These hips don’t lie.

We’re convinced: Cotton underwear is the most comfortable option around when it comes to panties preferences. While lacy, slinky lingerie may have it down in the aesthetic department, cotton is actually your best bet to better care for down there. The natural material is super-breathable and moisture-wicking, so undies made of 100 percent cotton (or a cotton-heavy blend with just a touch of stretch) are less likely to cause infections or rashes than ones made from totally synthetic fabrics. Needless to say, we’re reaching for ’em all season long.

Of course, we still love our satin and lace undies, too, but gone are the days where cotton underwear = granny panties. There are lots of super-cute pairs with cool cuts and fun designs to shop these days. Still skeptical? We’ll prove it to you: Ahead, we’ve gathered the best cotton underwear you’ll wanna wear pretty much anywhere. Whether you’re into high-waisted styles or you strictly stick to low rises, or you’re more of a thong fan or only wear full-coverage, there’s a comfy and cute pair calling your name. Bonus: Some even come in multipacks, so you can stock up with ease!

We promise you’re going to fall in love with cotton everything after taking a closer look at our fave picks. Even Queen RiRi and luxury labels like Versace have cotton options to consider, so keep reading for the lowdown on 21 of the cutest pairs of cotton underwear for women.

These high-rise hipsters are the real deal—they’ve got more than 700 glowing reviews to prove it. Plus, there are 7 more colors and prints to choose from.

Rave Review: “Getting rid of all my other underwear! These are the most amazing underwear I’ve ever owned. FINALLY something that FITS ME WELL! I’m 300 lbs., 5'8", wear a 20 in pants. I got the XXL in the high-rise hipster and they fit me like a dream. Perfect proportions, no show, nothing rolling down...I’m really, really happy to find a size inclusive pair of underwear that fits me just as well as it would fit an XS. Thank you!!!”

You’ll love these cheeky ultra-bright briefs. This cut is giving ’80s Parisian holiday vibes.

Rave Review: “These feel like the kind of everyday underwear that cool women wear at home alone in movies,” says a reviewer. “How does plain cotton underwear look this good?”

These period panties are a game changer. You’ll be able to say goodbye to leaks for good! Plus, the cute cut and colorful stripes mean these don’t feel dowdy or diaper-like.

Rave Review: “After years of struggling with difficult and uncomfortable periods, these panties have made me feel more at ease and comfortable,” writes one reviewer. “They’re not bulky and fit just right. I don’t have to worry about leaks and I’m sleeping so much better! Get them!”

Who said underwear has to look basic? We’re loving the breezy cotton feel and embroidered details on this fluttery number. They’re like short-shorts and panties in one pretty package.

Beware: After trying Pact’s amazing underwear, you may be tempted to throw out everything else in your skivvies rotation. These lace hipsters have just enough stretch to fit really well, and the lace surprisingly doesn’t dig into your skin, which means no pesky panty lines!

Rave Review: “These are incredibly comfy and the perfect cut for ladies with some booty,” writes one reviewer. “Gone are the days of buying multiple undies from VS. Pact will be my new go-to. Sustainable, beautiful and high quality.”

You’ll be living in these lightweight boy shorts. Are you feelin’ this stunning shade of blue? How about a nice pink or olive color? Good news: You can nab these in all three colors plus more hues to choose from, which is a good thing because you’ll wanna slip into these as often as possible. PS: The buttons are purely decorative, not functional, but they’re sooo cute.

It’s giving luxury. This bikini style panty is so chic, and Versace’s signature Greek Key pattern on the wide, stretchy waistband will remind ya of the lavish life you deserve.

Show your hips some love with these low-rise, gradient, super-soft hiphuggers. There’s dozens of other colors and prints to choose from too!

Rave Review: “These panties feel great on my skin,” writes a reviewer. “I buy them a lot because they look good on me and the fit is true to size. I recommend these for everyday wear.”

If you never know what day of the week it is, then you actually need these bikini panties in your life. The cotton-Spandex blend provides all the stretch you need. Plus, how cute are the designs?!

Rave Review: “Love these,” shares a reviewer. “I’m an EMT so I work on an ambulance and an MHT-in acute psych of an ER. Comfort, breathability, and coverage are important very important to me. These are all the above!”

Have you ever worn underwear so lush, they feels like top-tier loungewear? These vintage-y, glam high-rise briefs are exactly that. Featuring cheeky back coverage, a high leg cut, and a soft, elastic-free organic cotton waistband that sits on your waist. Check out the subtly feminine lace and sheer mesh details too!

Rave Review: “So I bought one of each style to try them out, and my husband and I dubbed these the ‘vintage Hollywood meets modern’ look,” shares one reviewer. “They’re classic but the mesh gives them a very edgy and sexy look. High waist is phenomenal, not tight, and sometimes I forget I’m wearing them. Happy to have found organic cotton that’s cute.”

Absurdly soft cotton with a touch of luxe, silky stretch-satin? Yes, please! Available in endless styles and hues, these practical panties make comfort look oh so good.

Rave Review: “I love these,” shares a reviewer. “My panty drawer is full of of vanishing cotton blend but these are a great addition. They are very soft and stretchy. Love the back seam and silky side panel. Like the vanishing, you do not know they are there. I am always afraid if I wear other panties besides Vanishing I will be tugging them down and adjusting most of day, these past the test. The waistband is wide and giving, so no dent on top. They didn’t shrink and were softer and stretchier after I washed and air-dried them. I have ordered more.”

Kim really knows how to do intimates—these ultra soft, cotton jersey full briefs that won’t dig in or cause VPLs are a testament to this. They’re one of the brand’s best-selling styles for a reason!

Rave Review: “Now, I am a VS girl and I worked for VS for quite sometime…BUT HANDS DOWN, these undies are the greatest quality,” writes one reviewer. “And, so so soft! I am 5'2", 155 lbs., size 8 in jeans and athletic build and bought a M.”

Diapers, be gone! You’ll sleep like a baby in these full-coverage briefs. They’re made from breathable cotton-Modal blend, and offer v reliable leak protection that’s easier on the planet than disposable period staples.

Rave Review: “I spent several years using reusable pads and always thought period underwear would just be weird, but oh, how I was wrong,” writes one reviewer. “These are so soft and comfy and have a nice sleek profile so you don’t get that diaper-y feel. I use these on my lighter days and the Super for the heavier days and nights. The absorbent area has such great coverage. Love these. Only wish I’d gotten some sooner.”

These will quickly become your favorite briefs. With a high-cut leg and waist plus modest booty coverage, you’ll fall in love with how this pretty yet practical feels on your body. They’ve got more than 300 positive reviews, if you needed more reason to add these to your cart, ASAP.

Rave Review: “I buy these panties every time they’re on sale to refresh my lingerie wardrobe,” writes one reviewer. “I love that they are seamless under pants and skirts and don’t show any line. I buy them in black and French nude to match the bras I purchase so I always have a ‘matching’ color set of lingerie on. They are silky in texture and comfortable to wear—you don’t feel them as you move through your day. I wash them in a lingerie bag and let them air-dry. I did discover that if you wash them with everything else and throw them in the dryer, the lace can lose its shape, start to fray and pick up fibers from other items, so washing in a lingerie bag is highly recommended. I will buy 12 pairs a year to last me until the next [Nordstrom] Anniversary Sale.”

ICYMI, cotton thongs are a thing. This low-rise pair is made from a stretchy yet breathable cotton blend.

Rave Review: “These are so cute and fit so well,” writes one reviewer. “They’re very comfortable. I love the little button on the front; I ended up getting these in every color!”

Need to do a full undies overhaul? These lightweight cotton briefs, sold as a three-pack, are a steal. Plus, they’re absorbent and breathable, perfect for braving the swampiest of summer days.

Rave Review: “I’ve been wearing thongs forever and wanted to switch,” writes a reviewer. “These fit like a dream, are so silky and hugging. Love ’em!”

You’ll adore how this buttery string bikini feels against your skin and how it moves with your body. Who knew comfort could look this good?

Rave Review: “I’ve never tried string bikini underwear before, so I thought I’d give these a try,” writes a reviewer. “The material of these is super soft and durable. I love the color! I was afraid that the thin elastic on the side was going to dig into my hips (I have very wide hips) but it doesn’t! I’m super happy with these! I can wear them with pants and you can tell I’m wearing underwear (I don’t have the indentation of my underwear showing through my pants)! These do stretch out a little bit but just because they are cotton. So once you wash them, they go back to normal. I will definitely recommend!”

Say peace out to panty lines when you’re wearing anything from Commando, but especially if it’s this laser-cut, second-skin seamless bikini. These lay flat on your body and have just the right amount of stretch.

Rave Review: “I bought these on the recommendation of my sister,” writes one reviewer. “We both hate thongs, but I also hate panty lines, and I’m not about to wear full-on body slimmers in the summer in Houston! I have a long rise from crotch to navel, and so these look like a teeny-bikini on me, but they’re comfortable and stay in place. I don’t have problems with wedgies when I wear them, which is uncommon for me where panties are concerned! I can wear them under white skinny jeans, and they don’t show! Miracle of miracles! I bought 3 pairs, initially, to give them a test run, and now I’m back to buy more. Woohoo! Thong-free for life, baby!"

Thankfully, brown girls can find the perfect nude from Nubian Skin’s wide range of skin tone-matching skivvies (and more). You’ll want to wear this high waist style under everything, everywhere!

Rave Review: “Great fit,” writes a reviewer. “It feels so comfy! I am getting the slip dress next! Thank you. 😊”

If these are a fave of Rihanna’s, then they’re bound to be a fave of ours too! These briefs offer medium coverage plus a flirty floral print and delicate logo scalloped-lace trim.

Rave Review: “I love these,” a reviewer writes. “They make me feel so bomb when I wear them and they're not even a sexy style! That’s just the power of Savage x Fenty, I guess.”

You’ll practically forget you’re wearing this lightweight, gorgeous pair, that’s how liberating they feel on! Oh, and get a load of that color. Swoon.

Rave Review: “Love these boyshorts! I have two in this style and they are so comfortable,” a reviewer says. “I’m short-waisted and I always have a hard time finding underwear that don’t sit too high on my waist and cut off in a weird spot. These are lower rise and fit perfectly. Ordered a small, my normal size, and they fit true to size. Would love to get them in all the colors!”
