Differentiation Strategy

Prioritize a seamless, 'barely-there' feel over the lace aesthetic of the reference product.

Center the value proposition on function and affordability, targeting consumers who want a practical, invisible look without the premium price of lace.

Appeal to customers who prefer a more conventional and predictable fit by offering standard S-XL sizing instead of a 'one-size' model.

Offer a modern alternative to traditional lace construction through the use of microfiber and laser-cut edges.

Success Replication

Replicate the core benefit of eliminating visible panty lines for a smooth silhouette under clothing by using modern, cost-effective seamless construction.

Retain the essential thong shape that consumers seeking this style expect.

Keep a 100% cotton gusset for breathability and comfort, a key feature in everyday underwear.

Aim to be a go-to, reliable option for daily wear, much like the reference product.
