Ever since her early days portraying Rachel Green in Friends, Jennifer Aniston has been a style icon, setting the trends as far as what's cool and what's not. Fans look to her for advice on anything and everything fashion-related, from life-hacks on how to ensure a wrinkle-free dress to what kind of undergarments she wears. Well, lucky for us, Jen An’s favorite underwear brand, Hanky Panky, is on mega-sale thanks to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale event that's happening through the end of the month. While the prices won't be open to the public until July 17, Nordy club card members can login or sign-up to shop early.

Hanky Panky is trademarked as the "world’s most comfortable thong,” and even though that may seem like an oxymoron, Jennifer Aniston seems to agree. She even revealed that she was rocking them under her Rag & Bone jeans in an interview with Sandra Bullock. And she’s certainly not the only celeb to co-sign the brand, either: Fellow A-listers like Rihanna, Cher, Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz have also been known to sing its praises.

Check out some of the best-selling styles that are up for grabs during this savings event below.

The Most Comfortable Thongs for Working Out, Walking Around and Generally Living Your Life


Single-Size Lace Choice

1. Hanky Panky Original Lace Thong

Reminder: This stretchy number is the thong that the company claims is *the* most comfortable in the world—something that's no small boast! Nordstrom has a ton of colors available too, spanning from a rich Atlantis Blue to our favorite, Desert Rose, which is neutral, but whimsical and romantic. Super-stretchy, this thong comes in one size only.

The stretch rayon knit fabric of this midrise thong is trimmed with soft lace that's form-fitting enough not to show through your clothes. "The wide band holds them in place without causing a line like other thongs I've owned," writes one reviewer. "The mid rise are great for me, they don't show above low-rise jeans and fit comfortably around my hips." Like the OG style above, this thong comes in one size only.

3. Hanky Panky Retro V-Kini Briefs

If you're the kinda' gal who appreciates a little more coverage, you may want to set your sights on these retro "V-kinis" aka briefs. They've got a higher waistband for a bit more tummy concealment and fully span the length of your bottom. Thanks to the brand's signature stretchy lace, however, they're still far from frumpy. Note: Since these babies have more fabric than the skimpier thongs, they are sized from Small to X-Large for optimum fit.

Best Shorts Style

4. Hanky Panky Daily Lace Boyshorts

These little boy shorts have a modest cut, but according to the company, you still won't see dreaded panty lines while wearing them. They come in sizes X-Small to Large, the colors are bright and summery and there's a cotton gusset for comfort.
