Underwear

What can I do about see-through underwear?

See-through underwear can be a source of discomfort and insecurity for many of us. Whether it's light summer clothing or tight, thin fabrics, taking the right steps to avoid show-through can make a big difference. Here we discuss some effective strategies and tips for solving this common problem.

Black underwear

Invest in seamless underwear

Seamless underwear is an excellent choice if you want to avoid show-through. This style has no visible seams, so it's less noticeable under clothing. Seamless underwear is often made from thicker, stretchy materials that are both comfortable and effective against show-through.

Choose the right colour

The colour of your underwear can make a big difference to how much it shows through. Skin tones, or colours close to your own skin colour, are less noticeable under thin or light clothing. Black underwear works well under dark clothes but can show under lighter fabrics. Experiment with different shades to find the best match for your skin.

Wear high-waisted briefs or shorts

High-waisted underwear gives more coverage and can help reduce show-through. This type of shaping underwear covers more skin, so it's less likely to show through. High-waisted underwear also often has a smoothing effect that helps create a firm, seamless look under your clothes.

Padded and double-lined underwear

Padded underwear or double-lined underwear gives an extra layer of protection against show-through. These extra layers of fabric make the underwear less see-through and give you a more secure feeling. Lots of sports underwear and shaping products have built-in padding that not only prevents show-through but gives extra support too.

Wearing slips and underskirts

A slip or underskirt can be a great way to prevent show-through. These garments are worn under dresses or skirts and add an extra layer of fabric. They come in different lengths and materials, so you can find the perfect addition to your outfit.
