The Dipped Tanga: 

The Dipped Tanga knicker is a variation of the Tanga style, known to be cheekier than a classic bikini knicker. The ‘dipped’ refers to the shape of the waistband, dipping lower at the front to create a subtle yet flattering V-shape. The Tanga also has a high-cut leg, making it sit snugly around the waist. The shape enhancing waistline and cut adds a touch of sexiness whilst still offering a moderate amount of coverage.

Comfort and Fit:

The Original Knicker 

Medium coverage provides maximum comfort and excellent support, making the Original Knicker our most popular choice for everyday wear. The lace trimmed edge keeps your knicker in place all day without digging into the skin.

It's a common myth that knickers favouring coverage are for women who prioritize comfort over style. Here at Stripe and Stare, that’s never the case, we know you deserve to look and feel your best. Proudly made by women, for women. See our full range of Original knickers.

The Dipped Tanga: 

The Dipped Tanga is designed to be slightly more revealing, empowering you from the bottom up (literally).  In this case less coverage doesn’t mean less support. The breathable and lightweight fabric gently hugs the body providing a snug but non restrictive fit all day long.

A common misconception around the tanga, is their obvious VPL, especially under tight-fitting clothing. Like all of our underwear, the Dipped Tanga is made with cloud-soft TENCEL™ Modal fabric finished with a lace trim, ensuring no unsightly lines or riding up. The Tanga pairs perfectly with our range of Bodysuits.
