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.

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!
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.

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.
