How to avoid the dreaded VPL

We all know the VPL is one of fashion’s worst faux pas – but despite this, visible panty lines still appear in alarming frequency as a blemish on an otherwise stylish outfit…

We spoke with Tessa Benham (Jockey Woman’s designer and expert VPL banisher) about the situations and outfits that can be most susceptible to the dreaded VPL and found out how to ensure everyone’s eyes are on your style, not your panty line.

Great news, the answer doesn’t involve a g-string, or going commando!

VPL Situation #1: The Job Interview (aka Work Wear)

1: Marino Satin Insert dress, $119.00 from Portmans
2: Next Generation No Panty Line Promise Full Brief, $27.99 from Jockey stockists
3: Kiera T-Bar sandal in Black or Warm Barley, $229.00 from Country Road
4: Leopard Polly bag, $369.00 from Saben

Tessa says: You’re here for the job interview because of your talent, there’s no need to distract them with unattractive and unflattering lines or lumps and bumps under your flashy new suit.

Office wear can be contemporary and fashionable, meaning slim fitting pencil skirts, smooth trousers and a tailored fit are essential, so don’t let lines under your clothing spoil the look.

Focus on your job and not your underwear riding and showing, with Jockey’s Next Generation No Panty Line Promise briefs. The smooth silicon warms to your body once on so you won’t feel it or see any lines from bulky elastics, while the skintone/black colourways disappear under all outfits.

VPL Situation #2: Date Night (aka Slinky Dress)

1: Next Generation No Panty Line Promise Hi Cut brief, $24.99 from Jockey stockists
2: House of Harlow 1960 Pearl Peeptoe Platform heel in Zebra, $AU399.00 from Miijo
3: Doll House dress (92250), $79.90 from Lippy
4: Tiger Claw pendant, $159.00 from Boh Runga for NZ Mint

Tessa says: Date night’s here and you have the perfect slinky black dress that you know will wow him. But what about the lines caused by your underwear?

Slim fitting or slinky clothing deserves underwear that remains hidden, so there are no lines, or lumps and bumps on display!

The Next Generation No Panty Line Promise briefs from Jockey truly disappear under clothing, this is due to a clever skin sensitive silicon that is applied straight to the leg edge, meaning no need for bulky elastics, and best of all the silicon hugs your body meaning they won’t move or ride.

VPL Situation #3: Work Out (aka Yoga Gear/Tight Fitting Exercise Pants)

1: Boot(i) pants, $120.00 from we’ar
2: Loose Goose tank, $AU75.00 from Metalicus
3: Next Generation No Panty Line Promise Bikini brief, $24.99 from Jockey stockists
4: Non Slip socks, $20.87 from Abi and Joseph

Tessa says: The last thing you want to worry about in your yoga class as you bend over at the front of the class are lines cause by your underwear digging in and riding around the place.

Gym clothing, and especially those yoga pants, are generally a slim fit using stretchy unforgiving knits, so you need underwear that will hide with no lines to show, while at the same time staying in place so you can focus on your class not on underwear that’sbunching, riding or cutting you in half!

Jockey’s Next Generation No Panty Line Promise briefs mean you can go straight from your office pencil skirt to downward dog without worrying about lines showing or adjusting your knickers, leaving you to focus on your breathing instead of the riding.
