Hanky Panky Women's Signature Stretch Lace Low Rise Thong One Size Fits Most
Pickup currently unavailable at High Street (Downtown Edmonton)
Why We Love It
- The Signature Stretch Lace — the same proprietary knit that made Hanky Panky famous. Not standard lace. A proprietary stretch lace with genuine memory — it moves with the body throughout the day and returns to its original shape after every wash. Lightweight, exceptionally soft, engineered to lie flat against skin without rolling, bunching, or creating the pressure points that conventional waistbands leave behind. The lace that converts people who didn't think they liked thongs.
- The Low Rise cut — lower, more modern, just as comfortable. Where the Original Rise sits at the natural hip with a classic V-waistband, the Low Rise sits lower — closer to the hip bone — for a silhouette that suits low-waisted clothing and a more fashion-forward aesthetic. The V-front and V-back are both cut lower, making this the choice for anyone who wants the Hanky Panky comfort profile without the coverage of the Original Rise.
- Virtually invisible under low-waisted clothing. The lower cut is specifically designed for jeans, trousers, and skirts that sit below the natural waist — the coverage profile that makes the Low Rise disappear under exactly the clothing it's designed for. No waistband showing above the trouser line, no panty line under fitted fabric.
- One size fits most, sizes 4–14. The elasticity of the Signature Lace means one size genuinely adapts to a wide range of bodies. The lace moves with you rather than requiring you to move around it.
- Made in the USA. Every Hanky Panky thong is manufactured in the United States — the same provenance claim, the same quality assurance, since the brand's founding.
The Full Story
Hanky Panky introduced the Low Rise as a response to the shift in fashion toward lower waistlines — the same Signature Stretch Lace that made the Original Rise a decades-long bestseller, reengineered for a silhouette that works under hip-skimming and low-waisted clothing. The lace is identical. The comfort is identical. The difference is purely in where the waistband sits on the body, and for women whose wardrobe skews low-waisted, that difference is the one that matters.
"Same Hanky Panky, lower waistband. The answer to every low-waisted outfit that the Original Rise wasn't quite right for."
Available in an extensive colour range including Black, White, Chai, and seasonal shades. Select your colour from the variant dropdown — all at $38 CAD.
Original Rise vs Low Rise — which one?

|---|---|---|
| Waistband position | Natural hip — classic, secure | Lower — modern, flirty |
| Best under | High-waisted, mid-rise clothing | Low-waisted, hip-skimming clothing |
| Coverage | More — sits above the hip curve | Less — sits at or below hip bone |
| Lace | Signature Stretch Lace | Signature Stretch Lace |
| Sizing | One Size (4–14) | One Size (2–12) |
Gifting This?
Same no-fail gifting logic as the Original Rise — one size fits most removes the sizing guesswork, and the Hanky Panky name carries the luxury signal. The Low Rise is a particularly strong choice for younger recipients or anyone whose wardrobe skews toward low-waisted or contemporary silhouettes. Available in Black, White, Chai, Vanilla, Red, and more — Black is always right, Chai is universally flattering.
Good to Know
How low does the Low Rise actually sit?
The Low Rise sits at or just below the hip bone — noticeably lower than the Original Rise, which sits at the natural waist curve. If you currently wear low-waisted jeans and find the Original Rise waistband shows above the waistband of your trousers, the Low Rise solves that. If you're not sure which rise is right for your wardrobe, the Original Rise is the more versatile of the two.
Is the Low Rise less comfortable than the Original Rise?
No — the lace, the construction, and the pressure-free fit are identical. The only difference is where the waistband sits. Some women prefer the lower position; others prefer the security of the higher Original Rise. Both are equally comfortable; the choice is purely about where you want the waistband relative to your clothing.
How do I wash it?
Hand wash or machine wash on delicate, cold water only. Lay flat or hang to dry. Never put Hanky Panky in a dryer — heat degrades the lace over time. Cold washing maintains the softness and shape through repeated washing.
What sizes does One Size Fits Most cover?
Sizes 2 through 12 (approximately XS–XL in standard clothing sizing). The Signature Stretch Lace adapts to the body rather than requiring a precise size match.
