Hanky Panky Swimwear Review | POPSUGAR Fashion


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 are able to belief to seek 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 discovered our favourite colours. The one-size-fits-most (sizes 4-14) Unique Rise Thong was born in 1986 and boasts 30 yards of thread, making it — in response to many consumers — the stretchiest, most comfy 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 fully pure that the beloved model, shoppable in over 70 international locations and a pair of,500 shops worldwide, would prolong its experience to the swim class. In spite of everything, if any label may launch the proper bikini backside, mastering proportions with a feel-good V-front and V-back waistband, it is Hanky Panky. And although I’ve solely not too long ago begun experimenting with the thongkini, I knew I wished to check out my favourite thong in swimsuit kind — all to see if it may stay as much as the hype.

If any label may 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 high, and three bikini bottoms that change 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 constructed from leftover swim material (which is a part of the model’s sustainability initiative). I wore the fits on a weekend seaside journey two days in a row, simply to ensure that what I used to be feeling was true (and it wasn’t simply my margarita placing me comfortable). And lo and behold, this actually was essentially the most comfy thongkini I had ever worn. It does, actually, really feel similar to the match of a basic Hanky Panky lace thong, although it is constructed from a completely completely different material. The high-quality, nontransparent materials permits the wearer to personally tailor their look, because of ruching on the sides that gives 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 high with ruffles, and this one is impressed by backyard events and summer season meadows to evoke a way of mild romance, so I employed a sporty twist with the addition of a baseball cap. The ties on the shoulders additionally felt a little bit too delicate for my regular style, but it surely’s price mentioning that they stayed mounted, and the plunging bralette stayed in place all day lengthy. I did not even take into consideration the potential of a wardrobe malfunction, which is one thing that does sometimes cross my thoughts — particularly in a considerably revealing silhouette.

One other bonus is that Hanky Panky’s swimwear, which is accessible in sizes XS-XL and ranges in value from $64-$125, additionally options Photo voltaic Guard 50+ to soak up UVB rays, plus Dura Coloration to guard in opposition to fading. So, if you find yourself loving your swimsuit as a lot as you do these trusty thongs, you will be certain of its longevity. Whereas the preliminary assortment is accessible now at HankyPanky.com, extra patterns are being added later within the season, and one thing tells me should you determine to put money into one now, you will be checking again.

Finally, my greatest disappointment is barely that the swimsuits will not be delivered in the identical basic rolled packaging because the underwear — as a result of there’s nothing as magical as enjoying “acquire all of them” with everybody’s favourite lace thong. But when there’s any model that may make me overlook a little bit superficial element like that within the title of ridiculously comfy swimwear, I should not be shocked that it is Hanky Panky.
