What kind of underwear best accentuates the butt? We asked an expert.
What should you consider if you are looking for tight and especially flattering underwear?
We asked this from a long-time underwear industry expert Saara from Salmenkalliowho is the founder and owner of the Funky Lady underwear chain.
The right size is the most important thing
The first thing to pay attention to is the right size.
– The best underpants are true to size. There is nothing as ugly as the fact that underwear tightens, squeezes and goes into small pockets when stretched, reminds Salmenkallio.

– If the clothing store has size XXS, it may very well be that Kokolappu shows size 36 or even 38 when shopping for underwear.
Models that flatter everyone
Salmenkallio reminds that each brand gives its own name to its own trouser models. However, these designs are universally flattering.
– The biggest mess comes in the hipster, hotpants and shorty area. For us, a hipster model is one whose leg mouth stays under the butt. It’s the best for all squatting, because it doesn’t flow and doesn’t move. Sports underwear are often these, says Salmenkallio.
– Hotpants, on the other hand, look sexy, i.e. hot, leaving half the butt exposed. The width of the crotch piece at the back is similar to a thong, but the back part gradually gets wider.
This creates a smoothing effect
If you want a smoothing, shaping and hourglass-like effect from your underwear, you should resort to shaping and high-waisted panties.
– When the strip at the top of the pants curves down towards the sides, it gives the illusion of a body without a jean handle, explains Salmenkallio.
– If you want silo sides, then super high underpants that rise up to the bra are good. In that case, the bra should be worn over the underpants so that there is no skin between them and a chafing mini-sausage is formed, he advises.
Highlight shapes in detail
If you want to cheat the illusion of a rounder butt, you should make sure that the underwear has a few special details.
– If the pants have a rubber band crease between the buttocks, it makes even a flatter butt look rounder, advises Salmenkallio.
Instead, the lace details on the buttocks create a sensual impression on Takuu.
