For those who like to keep their briefs brief, a tanga style is perfect. Tanga knickers offer less coverage than a bikini, but more than thong, making them a great choice if you find g-strings cut you in half. Tantalisingly thin straps at the side look super flattering – and super sexy. But while tanga briefs look teasing in the bedroom when matched with a flirty bra, their lighter look means they can’t be seen under bodycon dresses.
