Although, in the words of Jane Austen, “it is a truth universally acknowledged” that sexy underwear is pretty damn fun to shop for... It is also true that blowing your bank account on lingerie isn’t exactly the best use of a limited budget, especially when they’re bound to get tumble-dried or ripped accidentally.

All things considered, however, you still deserve a couple special pairs that’ll make you feel like your fiercest self. That’s why I searched far and wide for the most affordable underwear on the Internet that is both smoking hot and surprisingly comfortable. Lo and behold, the majority of them were available on Amazon — so I curated a list for you to use with your Prime account before the influencer favorites sell out.

Whether you’re interested in wearing this underwear on a regular basis or keeping it solely to the bedroom, I’ve got you covered in every possible scenario. Want a nice lace thong that feels and looks invisible? Keep on scrolling. How about a barely-there cotton panty that is ultra-breathable yet undeniably hot as hell? Got that, too. What about some strategically placed cut-outs?

I could go on, but you’re probably more than ready to take a look. Here are 26 sultry finds that are available in an incredible range of sizes, colors, and silhouettes. Better yet, they’re backed by shoppers just like you in the comments.

This Twin-Pack Of “Very Persuading” Strappy Lace Panties

These cut-out panties are how you do sexy without venturing into thong territory. They’re technically low-rise, but the dainty lace criss-cross band can be hiked up to a high-waisted fit thanks to plenty of stretch. Plus, the mesh offers a little breathing room. They’re the “perfect combination of comfort and style, suitable and sexy all in one," one shopper noted, adding that they were great for “lounging around the house provoking my man, they are very persuading!!"

I used to buy VS pink lace thongs but these are just as cute,” one fan gushed. Plus, the seven colors resemble a summer sunset, and what could be hotter than that?

Bamboo Panties That Are Even Better Than Cotton

Move over, cotton — these bamboo viscose panties are more breathable and healthier for your body, believe it or not.

Not only that, the lace-trimmed bikini is so cute. “Bamboo viscose and bamboo rayon are very good for sensitive skin, second only to silk, so I've been trying various underwear styles in these fabrics. This style is a pretty good one,” a shopper reported. “The lace edging keeps them in place pretty well without cutting in and creating lines.”
