The 18 best crotchless knickers to help you look and feel sexy

Who says you need to buy them a Christmas gift? Surely the pleasure of your presence should be enough!

If that argument won’t convince them, luckily Bluebella has designed a bow-embellished brief so you can at least look the part.

This open-backed pair goes nicely with the matching plunging wired bra, so you can gift yourself and them in the process.

If sets really aren’t your thing and you prefer to go for something a little more flirty and flowy, Ann Summers has crafted an equally enticing babydoll set. And it just so happens to be crotchless.

A sheer black mesh halter-neck babydoll is anointed with fluffy feathers (which we’ll bet will feel great fluttering against your skin), unlined cups (so your breasts can be the rightful star of the show), and propped together with a giant satin bow.

It even comes with its own pair of matching crotchless panties — this time sans feathers, because we can imagine you probs don’t want to get one of those stuck up your cooch!

We can't say this pair does much to cover your cheeks. This thong makes full use of actual skin, however, delicately covering the mons pubis with a thin veil of mesh.

Plus, the backless design will make sure your gym gains are on full display — and don’t worry, our sex writer can confirm that the straps, surprisingly, don’t feel like there’s nothing there, as they provide ample support in your crack (to put it plainly).

Available in a UK size 6–18, this is a size-inclusive option we’re frilled to include in our line-up. We’d highly recommend throwing in the matching bra for good measure.

Let’s BFFR, you’re not wearing crotchless panties to go out and about and enjoy your day, and at least this set is open (pun intended) about that.

With a set of arm restraints attached to the suspenders, this sexy wet look set is ideal for those looking indulging in BDSM, as it’s kitted out with O-rings (our sex writer counted 17, to be precise) for holding you down on a mattress restraint or keeping you in your place on a sex swing.

To top it all off (barely), the pants have a removable chain that if kept in place rubs against your C-spot while you’re getting down to business. Hot.

When quizzing Team Cosmo on where to locate luxe lingerie, Agent Provocateur was high up most people’s list.

This thong, finished with embroidery imported from across Europe, is a premium route to your partner’s visual pleasure. But girl math dictates you’re totally worth it, right?

Also available in a full brief, it’s up to you how cheeky you’re feeling.

Greta Gerwig directed the movie of 2023 (in our eyes, anyway), but she also started a global movement to think pink. Yep, two years on and everything from hair accessories to mugs and our favourite vibrators still come in shades of rose and rouge.

This set of bright boy shorts offers more coverage than any other offerings in our line-up. But it’s the saucy string of pearls, helping direct your bedmate’s attention down there (and occasionally knocking against your C-spot for added external stimulation), that we loooove.

Roses are red... and so is our favourite underwear. Because who doesn’t feel attractive when you're dressed as a siren?

If you’re a breasty bestie, you’ll be pleased to know this is tailored to larger cups, available in a 32C up to 40G. Although fans — and one of our sex writers who generously volunteered to try every crotchless style — do recommend sizing up, as it measures up a little small.

We all need a little exuberance in our lives, and who’s to say it can’t come in the form of a crotchless teddy?

If you’re not sure whether to go for leather, lace, or mesh (we sympathise, making a decision is hard) this teddy is made from all three, providing a blend of sensations for you and your partner.

This is your reminder that there are at least seven erogenous zones — it’s a hotly debated topic — most of which can be found upstairs (above your belly button).

This three-piece set ensures your bedmate hits every single one, with unlimited access to your nipples, mons pubis (a fancy name for the stretch of skin above your crotch), and labia.

Coming in at under £34, it’s a seriously budget option. Even so, the Cottelli Collection hasn’t scrimped, throwing in a matching suspender belt too.

There’s no time like the present to start getting in the Christmas spirit — especially when you’re the gift they’ll be unwrapping come the beginning of the Advent.

This festive number from Ann Summers is compiled of a mixture of red mesh and satin, while the wait is encrusted with sparkly diamantes — because diamonds are a girl’s best friend, after all.

If they don’t already know you’re the gift that keeps on giving, your boobs are wrapped up with bows, while the back cascades to expose your bum cheeks for easy access front and back.

Ho, ho, ho, is all we have to say!

Having your crotch out and about is enough to ask of a gal, so if you lean to the shyer side of the crotch-bearing spectrum, this one’s for you.

Part shapewear and part crotchless body, this black number from Lovehoney tastefully reveals just your nipples and your crotch — just enough to get the deed done, if you ask us!

The straps are entirely adjustable and the cups are soft — because comfort is key, duh! — while the plunging lace neckline and high-cut leg offer a flattering glimpse at your bust and behind.

We see this being the perfect cover up for a post-dinner pump, when (let’s be real) you might not be feeling your sexiest.

Brits may have voted black (31%) and red (15.2%) as the sexiest shades when it comes to lingerie but, at the end of the day, it’s about what you feel good in. Luckily, this crotchless cheeky comes in both hues, as well as an angelic-looking ivory.

Although if pastels are more your vibe, there’s also a delicious cornflower option. Plus we like to think it’s a signal from lingerie and swimwear brand Fleur du Mal (as fancy as it sounds) that summer is just around the corner.

Again, the brand’s gone rogue on sizing, coming up with its own ‘one to five’ system, but we’ll take that in exchange for instantaneous sex appeal.

Sweet on the sides, party in the front and back. This pearl-embellished G-string won’t provide any coverage but it will certainly draw the eye to the right areas, and its cold pearl jewels will rub delightfully against your pearl, too.

“You can incorporate the pearl necklace nicely into the lovemaking,” one reviewer even kindly recommends. We’ll leave it to your partner to figure out how!

Most crotchless panties leave the mons pubis up to the imagination, but not these.

While we wouldn’t recommend wearing these as pants day-to-day (they don’t exactly perform on the moisture-absorbing front), they’d be a thrill to wear on a date night, knowing that when you get home there’s little for your loved one (or you…) to unwrap.

Crafted from leather-look material, this pair of briefs consists of an open-front and open-back, held together with gold hardware, a back buckle, and a cutesy heart decoration just below the navel. You could wear this without the matching bra and choker, but it wouldn’t really be the same — and you deserve a treat, after all!

If you’ve ever been the proud owner of any leather item of clothing, you’ll know how hard it is to get on and off again. Should you or your partner be leather lovers old or new, crotchless leather pants are the best of both worlds because they skip the awkward leather tackle in the heat of the moment.

Lovehoney has embraced the free the nipple movement with this studded open cup bra and crotchless thong, plus it’s all adjustable so you’ll have plenty of room to throw, or be thrown about in (what else are you doing in this set, let’s be honest?).

Just like Regina George, these Seraphine satin-trimmed briefs are a big deal — and feel seriously luxe.

Finished in *that* classic combo of dotted mesh and black lace, these are an elegant, timeless classic — and gasp-worthy, thanks to the fact that they’re open at the front and back.

But if the goal is to raise your partner’s heart rate as well as their eyebrows, pair them with an evening of sensual teasing, courtesy of Coco de Mer’s rose-scented Massage Candle.
