What is lingerie?
Lingerie is a term for women's fashion undergarments. It is worn beneath clothes to help mask any imperfections or to actually enhance a woman’s body.
In English, the term Lingerie is applied only to those women's undergarments designed to be visually appealing or erotic, typically incorporating materials such as Lycra, nylon (nylon tricot), polyester, satin, lace and/or silk.
The concept of lingerie being visually appealing is relatively recent.
No longer dictated by men's opinion of beauty or sexuality, lingerie can be what a woman wants it to be. If she wants to look larger, smaller, sexier, more prim... there is a fashion for it. In fact, modern lingerie allows us to be someone different everyday. From thongs to granny panties, conservative gowns to fetish wear, it's all within reach.
Why wear erotic lingerie?
No, really. It's not just the reason you think. Sexy and erotic lingerie will make you feel good. For single women, wearing sexy lingerie can boost your self-esteem and make you feel like a sex goddess. Additionally, women with curves, and perhaps a few flaws, look amazing in lingerie. Wearing sexy and erotic lingerie is a way to embrace the best in ourselves.
Seducing your lover with a can't-refuse undergarment, adds spice, fun, sensuality, and excitement to your love life, definitely turning the heat up a notch or two. For best results, surprise him with a style you don't usually wear. Add a pair of heels, even jewelry, for a complete erotic package.
Remember, sexy and erotic lingerie can work a small miracle in your love relationship and enhances self-confidence. If you're lingerie-shy, you might want to warm up to undergarments with a more conservative look, such as a cami and boyshorts. However, don't dismiss the babydolls and teddies as a first choice. You will look stunning to yourself and to your significant other.
Variety in lingerie - There are many fun options for women:
BABYDOLL
Babydolls are the prettiest lingerie around. Wear it when you’re feeling flirty and just a little bit saucy. It is a look that’s loved by both, men and women.
Babydolls are short gowns, often fitted at the top, flowing out to about hip-length, worn with panties underneath. Styles include wholesome, sophisticated and sexy. Babydolls can be worn as either lingerie or nightwear. Babydolls are flattering for nearly every figure. The long camisole top will draw attention to your curves but hide anything you would rather not have on show.
Created with a variety of fabrics, such as silk, satin, cotton, and sheer materials, Babydolls provide several versatile looks. The more provocative styles include a slit up the front, with matching panties to show off.
BABYDOLL AS A GIFT
This universal appeal of the babydoll sets makes it a popular gift on Valentine’s Day, Birthdays, Anniversaries and any other occasion, for which men buy gifts for women.
CAMISOLE
A camisole (Cami) is a woman’s undergarment which covers the top part of the body. It is sleeveless and tightfitting. Camisoles are manufactured from satin, silk or stretch materials like lycra, nylon or spandex.
Camis and Shorts provide a sexy and comfortable combination. A Cami shows off your décolletage and flatters both small and larger breasts, while the shorts enhance and camouflage your rear. Slender women with boyish figures look carefree and sexy in this style. Conversely, a V-cut cami and booty-hugging shorts bring curves to life.
A camisole can be worn over a bra or without one. One of the more fashionable ways now is to wear camisoles as outerwear.
CHEMISE
A Chemise is a loose-fitting garment worn underneath clothes.
NIGHTGOWNS
Nightgowns, even full-length, offer the ultimate in sex appeal. There are many seductive styles made out of sheer fabrics, with full-length slits and deep cuts in the front and back. Gowns flatter any bodytype, while leaving a little to the imagination.
CORSETS & BUSTIERS
Corsets and Bustiers are strapless garments that offer instant breast augmentation. They provide ultimate cleavage by lifting the breasts up and out. Additionally, corsets provide a sliming effect to the torso, further enhancing the appearance of your assets. Some of the more tasteful pieces can be worn under a suit jacket or a button-up shirt for added sex appeal.
TEDDIES
Teddies are similar in style to one-piece swimsuits, often created from satin and lace. Some styles are very low-cut and have a thong style backend. Teddies normally do not include bra cups, but some styles have underwire support. Among sexy and erotic lingerie garments, teddies are highly flattering pieces.
BRA & PANTY SETS
Bra and Panty Sets are the foundation of a sexy lingerie collection. Some incredibly sexy and erotic lingerie sets are enhanced with garters and stockings. For daily wear, sexy bras and panties make a woman feel confident, beautiful, and girly or gutsy.
THONGS
When thong shopping, women ask two questions: Is this a sexy thong, and is it a comfortable thong? Yet, comfort and sexiness is often in the eye of the beholder. Some feel that any thong is sexy. Others feel that a certain color like red or black makes it alluring. Most definitely, mesh and lace thongs do look sexy. In addition, thongs may be sexier if combined with matching bras or other lingerie.
Varieties of sexy thongs:
G-String
A G-string is the skimpiest thong. It consists of a small front triangle, with strings that go around your hips and another, thin string going up your back. While these thongs are very sexy, they are also uncomfortable when worn for long periods of time.
V-String
A V-string is so named because it makes a v shape when going up the back. It offers only slightly more coverage than a g-string and little more comfort.
T-Back
T-Backs have good front coverage and many versions have a wide waistband going around the back. These thongs are called a T-back because the waistband and the back of the thong form a T-shape. T-Backs are usually fairly comfortable.
Tanga
The Tanga covers the front completely. In the back, the material is higher and may be cut a few inches above the rear. Tanga’s are usually more comfortable than G-strings.
Caring for your lingerie
Gentle and mild – are words that you should remember when you think about caring for your lingerie. Always hand-wash your delicates. Soak your lingerie pieces for a little bit, then handwash.
Lay them flat to dry.
In the washing machine, caring for your lingerie requires the use of delicate cycle and gentle detergent. It is a good idea to use a garment bag specifically designed for washing lingerie. Those will protect your unmentionables from getting ruined inside the washer.
