New underwear designed to banish visible panty lines for good... are you game enough to wear it?

A lingerie company has created what may be the smallest underwear ever - the Shibue: a strapless panty held in place using a soft adhesive gel.Unlike regular g-strings or underwear that is pulled on over the legs, the Shibue simply covers your private part from front to back - and bodycon loving celebrities can't get enough.

HOW DID THE SHIBUE GET IT'S NAME? 

'I thought I would combine the first three letters of my maiden name "Shipley" and the first three letters of my married name "Buettner", and call my company SHIBUE Couture,' the founder of the company, Jenny Buettner said.

'Once I had convinced myself that it was clever enough to start the ball rolling as the parent company, I started doing internet searches for it’s translation and found that it means "understated elegance" in Japanese… Jackpot!

As for the name of my newly redefined panty we affectionately called it the "strapless panty". However somewhere along the line we started calling it the "Shibue".

The Shibue is a continuation of the c-string: another barely there design that looks somewhat similar to a headband.

But unlike the Shibue the c-string holds its shape with a piece of plastic.

'Shibue’s are held in place by a washable and re-usable soft silicone gel adhesive across the top front and top back of the panty leaving nothing but a smooth, clean silhouette on your sides,' the product's website reads.

The Shibue Instagram page is littered with photos of women in sheer dresses, dresses that split up to the waist and curve hugging designs - their Shibue invisible beneath.

With the product available online, it seems only a matter of time before Shibue's make it in to the lingerie drawers of Australian women.
