Silhouettes and Construction
Peekaboo underwear can come in various silhouettes: boy shorts, briefs, and thongs can all be made into peekaboo styles. The term describes the split-front construction, not a single cut, so rise, leg line, and coverage elsewhere follow whichever base silhouette is used.
Because the style is defined by an opening rather than a panel, product descriptions are best compared on the base silhouette, the fabric, and how the opening is finished — edged with elastic, lace, or a simple hem, depending on the maker.
