CHOOSING THE RIGHT LINGERIE FOR YOU

Sexy-lingerie.com knows your moods and tastes vary as do your choices in sexy lingerie. From leather lingerie to sheer lingerie, bridal lingerie to trashy lingerie we offer you a wide selection of women's lingerie to choose from. (Of course categories like bridal lingerie and trashy lingerie aren't mutually exclusive. Why not add some hot, trashy or leather lingerie on your honeymoon? Sounds like fun to us!) Of course with so many choices it may help to narrow down what you really want, to find just the right piece of lingerie that will help you walk into the bedroom feeling as sexy as a Victoria Secret's Lingerie model. Let's start with some basic questions.

1-What makes you feel sexy?

For some women thong lingerie makes them feel sexy while other women feel over-exposed in a thong, so our advice is don't deny what makes you feel sexy-regardless of what kinds of lingerie look good on other women. Also ask yourself, what look are you craving? Are you in the mood for long, flowing fantasy lingerie? Then sheer lingerie may be a good choice. But what if you are in more of a naughty erotic lingerie mood? Then our black lingerie, leather lingerie and vinyl lingerie sets might be the best place to start. In a playful mood? Check out all our lingerie sets with garter belts. There is nothing like crossing your legs and letting someone catch a glimpse of garter. So many of our styles like baby doll lingerie and teddies come in a range of looks-from serious and exotic to sheer and playful, so that you can find what you want to create that sense of unstoppable sexiness for yourself!

2-What are your assets?

Modesty aside, we all have sexy assets. Sure, sure some women "hate" their butts or their thighs or what have you, but we all know we've got our strong points and choosing sexy lingerie is all about highlighting those! Sexy feet? Why not get a garter belt lingerie set with hose so that your lover will have to roll your hose down and notice that sexy pedicure? One woman thinks of her best asset as her blue eyes. So why not consider a light blue lingerie set that really sets them off? Small waist? You may want to look at our corset and bustier collection. Large breasts? Definitely go for our bras and lingerie with support that can lift and flatter your assets. We all have great features and sometimes part of feeling sexy is showing them off!

3-What areas of your body do you feel most uncomfortable about?

We usually all have areas that we don't want to show off too. The right sexy lingerie-like a good friend- will not only draw attention to your assets but be forgiving of your "flaws." For instance, sheer lingerie is practically every woman's friend, especially when it skims over the body. Baby doll lingerie also often works well for skimming over one's midsection and hips. One woman with long legs who didn't like her waist line looked great in sexy lingerie sets with shorts while another woman who had a small waist but felt self-conscious about having an A cup size looked fantastic in a push up corset. . Also check out our plus-size lingerie because having lingerie that fits rather than pinches helps show off sexy curves. With an online lingerie store- you can browse over hundreds of lingerie styles in minutes and in the privacy of your own home to help you find the sexy lingerie look that is right for you!

CHOOSING THE RIGHT LINGERIE FOR HER

Shopping for lingerie as a gift and need pointers? Buying bridal lingerie or wedding lingerie as a gift is very common, but so is a man simply shopping for hot sexy lingerie for that special someone. Women often have an easier time lingerie shopping for friends because they've tried lingerie on themselves and may have more of an idea about what flatters and what doesn't. If you are a man who is lingerie shopping for a woman, then feel free to look here for tips.

Tip #1: Fabrics with Give will usually help insure the right fit

Many of our lingerie sets that come in a "Regular/One Size Fits All" are created in fabrics such as stretchy lace that have give and can conform to the curves of women's body's comfortably. If you know her exact size, it is a good idea to see our size chart to make sure that these lingerie sets will be a good fit for her but in general lingerie made of fabrics that have give or stretch, just like the latest stretch denim jeans, are able to will fit over the curves of her body the way sexy lingerie should--not pinching or pulling.

Tip #2: The better she feels she looks in it -the more likely she is to wear it.

This is very true-so aside from complimenting her once she has it on -you definitely want to buy a style of lingerie that not only looks sexy to you but that you think will make her feel sexy. How do you do that? Consider her overall style. Thong lingerie is a given for a woman who already wears thongs but if she doesn't and you want to give her a style that includes a thong-you may also want to consider a thong lingerie teddy or a more erotic lingerie style that she will only wear in the bedroom rather than a bra and panty set she might also wear under clothing. Also consider her overall body type. A few quick pointers here: if she has a cup size that is B or over she will likely look best in lingerie that offers under wire support (as so many of our styles do...simply find one you like and then check out the full description and larger picture.) Baby doll lingerie also often works well for skimming over a woman's midsection and hips, areas that women are commonly concerned with. Most importantly -do your best to get lingerie that will really fit her. Don't be afraid to look in our plus size section and to view our size chart.

Tip #3: Don't discount what you find sexy

Yes, we just emphasized above that you are buying this for her-but part of the fun of wearing sexy lingerie is often how sexy we look to the person we are wearing it for!

Some men love garter belts, some love sexy lingerie shorts, leather lingerie, sheer lingerie, trashy lingerie, and some men just love cleavage (OK it seems almost all the men we've spoken to love at least a little cleavage-- in which case consider corsets and bustiers and any sexy lingerie set with an under wire in the bra.) Whatever your preference, whatever turns you on, definitely don't ignore your instincts when choosing the right lingerie item for her. It isn't selfish. It's part of what will make it the most perfect piece of sexy lingerie in her closet.

THE PLEASURE OF SEXY LINGERIE

Just as clothing is a mode of expressing ones personality so is sexy lingerie. From leather, exotic, erotic lingerie to sheer, bridal lingerie, thong lingerie, garter belts and sexy lingerie sets, womens lingerie now encompasses a myriad of choices. There was a time when labeling lingerie as trashy wouldn't have been a selling point, but now the playfulness and self-expression that exists in the industry allows for everything from the more standard baby doll lingerie and teddies to hot lingerie costumes and even Christmas themed lingerie.

Womens lingerie has certainly come along way from binding corsets and crinolines. Seductive lingerie has become so main stream, what mall doesn't have a Victoria Secrets lingerie store? And with the internet, we now have the convenience and privacy of shopping for sexy lingerie at home. Sexy lingerie allows you to express a part of yourself that may not be revealed in the work place or even outside of the bedroom. It allows for a fun sense of trying on different personas as well as expressing sides of ourselves that may often stay in the background in our day-to-day lives. Just as one might ask what would a meal be without dessert, what would underwear be without sexy lingerie?

Bikini Tops 101

I heard a recent line from a movie that cracked me up. A personal trainer was trying to motivate her client through a tough workout. When her client wanted to give up, her trainer asked her…”what is the most dreaded phrase in the English language?” Her client responded, “pool party.” and immediately started moving again. It’s true, so many of us dread bearing our bodies in a bathing suit in front of friends or complete strangers for that matter. I myself just berated a friend who put unflattering pictures of me in a bikini up on Facebook! Yup, she broke an unspoken rule among girls. But I digress…Buying new swimwear can be a positive experience if you know what to look for. Here are a few tips all women should know.

Today we will explore and discuss the different styles of bikini tops. These days most of us do our shopping on line, which means no dressing rooms. Here are some general rules to help you figure out what style might work best for you.

The halter top style bikini top is always a good way to go. It flatters both larger breasted women and smaller breasted women. It holds you in place and looks great if you are surfing, playing beach volleyball, or just lounging on a towel drinking a cocktail. It also flatters a pear shaped body because a little more fabric up top makes you look more proportionate to your lower half than a teeny tiny string or bandeau top is going to. Trust me, as a surfer, I have tested every suit out there! The halter top is fantastic.

The triangle string bikini top. I see this mistake made time and time again. Women with very small breasts feel this is the best option for them because it contains the least amount of fabric. NOT FLATTERING. A saggy piece of triangle material over a small chest only makes it look smaller. If you are less than amply endowed in this area, go for an under-wire or halter style top with a little bit of lining or padding. You will feel supported and look fabulous. If you are small chested and really like this style, just make sure you buy one that fits tight around your breasts and is not saggy. The same rule applies to very large breasted women. The string top does not offer much support, so instead of stretching the strings around your neck to within an inch of their life, wear something that is going to give your girls the lifting and staying power they need to endure a long day in the surf and sand. DO wear the triangle string top if you have medium side breasts (B to C) and are not planning on any rigorous water sports. They can be very flattering, sexy, and adjustable which is always a plus. They also work pretty well on the surgically enhanced chest that comes with its own staying power, if you know what I mean.

The Bandeau top. I’d like to preface this one of by saying that I have specifically designed my bandeau top to avoid most of the problems I am about to list. So hope is not lost. Ok ladies, I know none of us like to have tan lines. They suck. But we are here to discuss what looks good and what doesn’t, so I have got to tell you, the bandeau top can be very unflattering. It is the equivalent to wearing horizontal stripes. If you are Eva Langoria, or my brother’s teeny, tiny Italian fiancé, you can pull this off, but that’s about it. The first thing the bandeau top does to offend is make you look wider. It pulls the eye Horizontally, so unless you are petite or narrow, which is about 20% of the female population, this in not going to flatter. It is also very unsupportive. Even the kind with the boning on the sides only keeps the fabric across your chest expanded so you don’t get the mush boob effect, but offers very little support. If your boobs are large, the bandeau will eventually creep down to your belly button and take your girls with it. And you can forget trying to play paddleball, or body surfing. So if you must go for this style make sure you find one with straps around the neck from the center point, and possibly some extra lining to keep the frame of the suit from collapsing. Check out the bandeau in the Bikini Thief collection. It is the only way to wear the bandeau.

The last general rule I have is that lining or a little padding in the bathing suit top is never a bad idea. It just adds a bit more support for bigger chests and a bit more curve to smaller ones. And if it’s a little chilly in the water, you won’t be high beaming for all the male population on the beach to see, unless you are into that, which some women are.

I think that pretty much covers the bikini top. Stayed tuned for my next addition about bikini bottoms!
