Product Insights
The Hanky Panky Pure Lace Boyshort Nylon ($48) is a premium, performance-oriented boyshort that delivers exceptional breathability, no visible panty lines, and zero ride-up during activity, thanks to its 100% nylon body that resists stretching and a SUPIMA cotton gusset. Rated a perfect 5.0 stars from 12 reviews, it retains shape better than polyamide/elastane competitors and stays cool even during intense workouts. However, buyers must size down as it runs a full size larger and fits wider, and should source directly from the brand or Bare Necessities to avoid the lower lace quality found in Nordstrom sale versions. Hand washing and hang drying maintain its shape, while machine washing in a bag is possible but avoid the dryer.

Everyday all-day comfort
Wear these lace boyshorts as everyday underwear when you want something soft and non-binding that stays put through a full day without digging in, riding up, or showing lines under clothing. Reviewers report the lace feels comfortable against skin and still looks great. Note that many found the sizing runs large, and some recommend going down a size for a snug fit, since the lace can stretch over time.[1,3]
Everyday wear without visible panty lines
Wear these boyshorts under clothing when you want coverage without a visible panty line. The soft, non-binding lace is described as comfortable for all-day wear, and one reviewer says they stayed put without riding up even under workout gear.

Workout-ready comfort under activewear

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Pure Lace Boyshort Nylon: Choose this for soft, non-binding everyday lace underwear with a full-coverage, low-rise boyshort cut that reviews say stays put without digging in, riding up, or showing panty lines under clothing or workout gear. The stretch nylon lace with scalloped trim and a pure SUPIMA cotton gusset is described as comfortable enough for all-day wear while still feeling sexy. Note that sizing reportedly runs large—many wearers recommend sizing down for a snug fit since the lace stretches over time.[1,2,3,4,5] | Stretch Lace Thong Nylon: Choose this if you want a soft, all-over lace thong for everyday comfort and travel: the brand's exclusive 100% nylon stretch lace moves with your body, packs down tiny, hand washes easily, and dries fast. Wearers report it stays put without riding up and holds up for years without holes or torn lace. Note that machine drying isn't recommended (heat can damage elastic), and one size-12 wearer opted for the plus-size version despite the one-size-fits-all claim, so check sizing for your body.[6,7,8,9] | Stretch Lace High-Waist Thong Nylon: Choose this if you want a high-waist lace thong with a stretch floral-lace waistband, scalloped edging, and a thong rear panel, made from 100% nylon with a 100% SUPIMA cotton gusset. It is offered in one size across seven colors, including black, white, and several pastels and jewel tones. Note that the narrow thong panel provides minimal coverage, and it comes only in a single size, which may not suit shoppers who need fitted sizing.[10,11,12] |

Soft and comfy
HP is my fave lace brand of undies. I've been wearing them for years, and had only 1 pair of the boyshort, so I wanted to get more for the odd time i wear something not high-waisted. (The French briefs are my faves, but I also like the high waisted thongs). I've always worn a size small in HP, no matter the style, and they're very stretchy, so even when I gained weight, they still fit. Based on the size chart now, I should be a M, but the S still fits, and they do stretch over time, but don't look icky or slide off. They don't pill with normal wear, but I haven't worn them under sweats/fleece, because a different brand of lace undies pilled with those textured fabrics. I haven't found lace undies better than HP. I'm 5'4" and about 123 lbs.
My fav undies!
Absolutely love these panties! They are so comfortable and even though boys cut look and feel sexy with the lace. And priced better than buying them directly from Hanky Panky. Fabulous!

Warning about Hanky Panky lace quality at Nordstrom sale
FYI: the hanky panky undies at the Nordstrom anniversary sale are cheaper lace than the ones sold full price the rest of the year. But yes, the full price ones are nice.
