Types of underwear for women

The value of a quality pair of panties cannot be overstated. The appropriate underwear can alter the appearance of your outfit and is also required for hygiene reasons.

Wearing high-quality underwear that prevents moisture build-up will help avoid problems like yeast infections, UTI infections, and chaffing from extended wear.

The types of underwear for women are usually differentiated according to the waistline and the amount of coverage that they give. Wacoal has different types of underwear for women that will revolutionize your lingerie collection.
