Hanky Panky Signature Lace Thong Review: The One-Size Thong That Actually Works
The one-size thong with a cult following spanning four decades. We tested it on five bodies to find out why.
Tested for 6 weeks · Published September 6, 2026
Our verdict
The hype is real. The stretch lace genuinely fits sizes 4 to 14 comfortably, survives years of washing, and disappears under clothing. Buy three.
$25–$27
Typical US price at The Pleasure Chest
What we liked
- +One size genuinely fits most (4–14)
- +Signature lace is soft with zero VPL
- +Legendary durability — years of regular washing
- +Enormous color range
What we didn't
- −One size excludes some bodies at both ends
- −Hand-wash extends life significantly
- −Price adds up for a drawer full
First impressions
Feather-light stretch lace with a wide V-waistband and a cotton gusset. There is less to it than you expect — that is the engineering.
Fit test
Five testers, sizes 4 to 14: a comfortable, flattering fit on all five, with no rolling, digging or riding up. The lace stretches and recovers like nothing else we have tested.
Durability
Our long-term pair has survived two years of machine washing in a garment bag. The lace relaxes slightly but never bags out.
