Quick answer
Choose the Camille Thong if you want a seamless, lightweight thong that disappears under clothing and runs true to size. Choose the Alice Thong if you prefer lace detail, a low-rise cut, and a sexier look, but be ready to size up. Both are final sale, so match the fabric and fit to your daily needs before ordering.
Alice Thong
When you're picking between two Timpa thongs, the decision often comes down to fabric and fit rather than style alone. The Camille Thong and the Alice Thong take different approaches: one focuses on invisibility and true-to-size comfort, the other on lace and a low-rise silhouette.
This comparison breaks down the supplied catalog facts for each so you can choose the thong that actually works with your wardrobe and your sizing preferences. Keep in mind that both are final sale, so getting the fit right the first time matters.
Fabric and feel
The Camille Thong is made from opaque, super lightweight microfibre and stretch mesh. The front and back are microfibre, with mesh panels at the hips and a seamless finish along the leg. It's 78% polyamide and 22% elastane, which gives it a smooth, stretchy feel that won't show under fitted clothes.
The Alice Thong uses a different mix: a front panel of soft crochet lace with a floral scalloped trim at the waistband, and a back panel of silky stretch opaque microfiber with a keyhole and satin bow. It's 86% polyamide and 14% elastane with a cotton gusset lining. The lace adds texture and a more decorative look, while the microfiber back keeps it comfortable.
- If you prioritize a smooth, invisible look, the Camille's microfibre is the stronger choice.
- If you want lace detailing and a touch of sensuality, the Alice Thong delivers that.
Fit and sizing
Fit is where these two diverge most. The Camille Thong is described as true to size, so you can confidently order your usual thong size. The Alice Thong runs small, and the catalog explicitly advises sizing up. That means if you're normally a medium, you'd likely want a large in the Alice Thong.
The Alice Thong also has a low-rise cut, which sits lower on the hips than a standard rise. The Camille Thong doesn't specify a rise, but its seamless construction and true-to-size fit suggest a more standard, accommodating fit. If you're between sizes or prefer a higher rise, the Camille is the safer bet.
- Always check the size chart for each style, since Alice requires a size up.
- If you have a longer torso or prefer more coverage, the Camille's true-to-size fit may feel more reliable.
Style and versatility
The Camille Thong is designed to be invisible under clothing. Its seamless finish along the leg and opaque microfibre make it a practical choice for everyday wear, especially under leggings, dresses, or anything fitted. It's the kind of thong you reach for when you don't want to think about your underwear.
The Alice Thong is more of a statement piece. The crochet lace front, scalloped trim, keyhole back, and satin bow make it feel dressier and more intentional. It's great for days when you want your lingerie to feel special, even if it's just for you. However, the lace and trim may show under very thin or tight clothing.
- For no-show everyday wear, the Camille Thong is the practical pick.
- For a confidence-boosting, decorative option, the Alice Thong is the one to choose.
Care and longevity
Both thongs are made from delicate materials: polyamide and elastane blends. The Camille's microfibre and mesh are smooth but can snag, while the Alice's lace is more textured and may be prone to pulling. Hand washing in cold water and laying flat to dry will help either style last longer.
The cotton gusset lining on the Alice Thong is a nice breathable detail, but it doesn't change the overall care needs. Since both are final sale, proper care from the start protects your purchase.
- Use a lingerie bag if you machine wash, and avoid the dryer.
- Rotate your thongs to extend the life of each pair.
Trade-offs to weigh
- Invisibility vs. lace detail: The Camille Thong's seamless microfibre disappears under clothing, while the Alice Thong's crochet lace and scalloped trim add texture that may show under tight or thin fabrics. If you need a no-show thong for everyday, Camille wins; if you want a pretty, tactile look, Alice is the pick.
- True-to-size vs. size up: The Camille Thong is true to size, so you can order your usual size. The Alice Thong runs small and the catalog advises sizing up, meaning you'll need to adjust your usual size. Check the size chart carefully for Alice; if you're between sizes or prefer a relaxed fit, Camille is more straightforward.
- Everyday practicality vs. special-occasion feel: The Camille is designed for invisible, lightweight comfort all day. The Alice Thong has decorative details like a keyhole and satin bow that make it feel more like a treat. Build your drawer with Camille for daily rotation and Alice for days you want an extra boost.
