The Full Story

High-waisted comfort with a bit of retro charm. The Retro Thong brings Hanky Panky's soft, stretchy lace up to the waist with an extra-generous band that gently hugs your midsection, so you get figure-flattering coverage where you want it and a thong back where you don't. It's cut with a V-shape front and back, with a cotton-lined gusset for comfort, and the lace lies flat for no visible panty line. A natural partner for high-waisted trousers, high-waisted jeans and skirts, and pretty enough that you won't mind a glimpse of it. One size fits sizes 0 to 12.

About Hanky Panky

Hanky Panky began in 1977, when designer Gale turned embroidered handkerchiefs into a lingerie set for a friend. Today the brand is best known for the World's Most Comfortable Thong®, made in the USA.

Good to Know

How high does it sit?
At or above the natural waist, higher than the Original Rise. If you're torn between the two, start with the Original Rise. The Retro is a noticeably different silhouette.

Does the high band feel restrictive?
It's designed with an extra-generous band of stretch lace so it hugs without digging in, and the lace replaces traditional elastic edges.

Is it good under high-waisted jeans?
Yes. The waistband sits at the same height as high-waisted clothing, so it stays put when you sit, bend or move.

What sizes does it fit?
One size fits sizes 0 to 12 best, with hips measuring 34" to 42". Note this is a different range from the Original Rise, which fits sizes 4 to 14.

How do I wash it?
Hand wash cold and lay flat to dry. Keep it out of the dryer, since heat is what wears lace down over time.

Good gift?
A lovely one for Valentine's Day, an anniversary or a bridal gift, when you want something a little more special than an everyday pair. One size removes the sizing guesswork.

Why is it final sale?
Standard hygiene policy for all underwear, so there are no returns or exchanges. Check the fit guide before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

Some questions and answers are automatically generated.

Does the high waistband feel restrictive?
No. The extra-generous lace band is designed to hug your midsection gently without digging in. Reviewers with curvier body types specifically note that it does not dig in or roll, providing comfortable all-day wear.
Will this work under high-waisted jeans?
Yes. The waistband sits at the natural waist height, matching high-waisted clothing so it stays in place when you sit, bend, or move, and the flat lace ensures no visible panty line.
Does it roll down or slip during wear?
Reviewers report that it does not roll or slip, even for more curvaceous body types. The generous stretch lace band and V-shape design keep it secure throughout the day.
What body types does this fit well?
It is sized for hips measuring 34" to 42" (sizes 0–12). Customers with curvier figures have praised the fit, noting that the generous band and high waist provide comfortable, figure-flattering coverage.
How does this compare to the Original Rise?
The Retro sits at or above the natural waist and is noticeably different in silhouette from the Original Rise, which sits higher on the hips. The Retro fits sizes 0–12 with hips up to 42", while the Original fits sizes 4–14 with hips up to 45".
