Best Bikini for Travel
1. ExOfficio Womens Give-N-Go Lacy Bikini Briefs Travel Underwear
Girl, I just love this!
You see, since it’s made of a breathable mesh, air flows in abundance in your nether regions and you will feel super cool even if it’s boiling outside.
Plus, and this is very thoughtful of the manufacturer, it’s extremely comfortable.
That’s because the company has improved the design by incorporating a lace around the leg openings (compared to the older models which only used to have elastic bands).
Then, as you would expect of any panty with this quality, they don’t ride up or down as the fabric stretches naturally to fit.
Of course, it’s paramount that you remain clean, safe, and odorless down there.
And this isn’t lost to the company so they have gone ahead and added powerful antimicrobial technology. As a result, bacteria and other messy elements stand no chance.
In short, these could be a dream for any travel-savvy woman!

A Buyer’s Guide for Best Traveling Underwear
Now that we have shortlisted 11 candidates under the best travel underwear womens category, it’s only fair that we discuss some of the considerations you should focus on when choosing.
Take a look:
Hidden Zipper pockets:
These are perfect for traveling (or workout) to keep your money or small valuables safe and secured. Needless to say, the pantie should remain light even when your pocket is loaded.
Examples of panties with pockets include the Barbra’s Women’s Travel Girdle Brief Panties S-4XL and her counterpart, the clever Travel Companion Women’s Underwear.
Coverage:
You may like the product but then be forced to abandon it since it doesn’t cover your butt as well as you would like.
Obviously, some of us are fine with being a little skimpy while others prefer full coverage, so your taste is what matters.
Sizing:
Sizing is a controversial topic when it comes to ladies undies. And it’s good that some manufacturers have seen the light and nowadays publish guidance on sizing.
The secret here is for you to understand your size and then order a matching one.
Having said that, some don’t fit true to size and you may sometimes have to request a size bigger. But it’s upon you to do your research lest you end up with one that constantly rides up/down.
Your typical routine:
Needless to say, we go out for various reasons. In like manner, some of these undies are designed to serve in different circumstances.
Take the ExOfficio Give-N-Go Women’s Sport Mesh Hipkini underwear, for instance. It’s certain that it’s made to help you engage in high-energy activities like multi-day trips or off-road treks.
Or how else would you explain the presence of some of its distinctive features like an active fit and lower rise?
On the same note, you would find the Under Armour Pure Stretch Women’s Sheer Bikini great for workouts because of its superior breathability and moisture wicking properties.
What about if you are a passionate hiker? This time the Ridge Merino Wool Women’s Ridge Boy Short would be more satisfying.
Durability:
I am sure you don’t want to wear a panty that tears embarrassingly while on the plane. Fortunately, most of the above undies including the Icebreaker Siren Bikini Underwear are so well-made and hold up strong, trip after trip, wash after wash.
Washing and drying:
You can occasionally run out of underwear while in the middle of trips. And so you want something you can wash even by hands in the sink. You may even be forced to wash from streams or rivers if you spend time having fun in the wild.
Additionally, it should dry quickly. A majority of the best actually take only about one hour to hang-dry, so on this you might be safe.
Others:
I don’t think we have included underwear that lacks breathability, odor-resistance, and tenderness for obvious reasons. Even if you’ve sensitive skin, you can go for panties made of eco-friendly materials like Bamboo which are gentle on such skins.
A good example is the Boody Body Boyleg women’s Briefs.
Still on the issue of comfort, you don’t want a pair whose construction can potentially cause chafing (it’s so disconcerting).
Moreover, if your current travel panties are guilty of giving you unsightly bumps and bulges, toss them out in favor of one with a smoothing silhouette such as the Under Armour Women’s Sheer Bikini.
Lastly, you ought to stay away from anyone showing those dreaded VPLs (visible panty lines).
How to Pack Travel Underwear
To save on your backpack space, try to roll your best traveling underwear.
Once you do this, you can stuff them into any free spaces including inside your bras/shoes!
This means that you will always pack them last as they can fill leftover space.
But if you want to be best organized, pack your undies into a travel underwear organizer.
Best Womens Travel Underwear- FAQs:
Before we finish up, here are some answers to some of your most frequent questions…
What fabric dries the quickest? Cotton, wool or polyester?
Polyester is extraordinarily hydrophobic and doesn’t absorb much moisture. It’s hence the quickest drying and the most common fabric for travel clothing.
Merino wool isn’t as fast as polyester but it still fares much better than cotton (in most part cases it’s blended with polyester anyway to improve its drying speed).
The worst is cotton (it can absorb 10x what polyester does) and that’s why ardent hikers shun it like the plague.
What is the best fabric for travel underpants?
The answer here boils down to your preferences as well as practicality.
First, you have the full synthetic and all-natural materials fabric to decide from.
And here is how it goes:
If you want more stretching underwear, synthetic is the way to go. However, if you have delicate skin, all-naturals like Bamboo are a deal.
You also have to consider the speed of drying- and we have already mentioned that Polyester tops (followed by nylon).
In terms of support, essential if you’re into vigorous activities, synthetic materials like Nylon and Spandex beat eco-friendly fabrics like Bamboo (a bit bulky) hands down.
Overall, the best should be quick-drying, have bacteria battling technology, be lightweight, sweat-defying, and supportive.
