Satin Lingerie - Tips On How To Look Your Best In This Fabric And What To Be Aware Of

There are so many stores these days selling satin lingerie. This is the post for women that do not know what all the fuss is about.

Good things about satin

The thing for sure is that satin looks great. It really does. Women look amazing wearing satin chemises or camisoles, be it white, black, red or some other colour.

It has an amazing glow and feel. It is definitely one of the sexiest fabrics for lingerie.

In my opinion, satin looks best in white because it gives that innocent (but at the same time sexy) look. Black colour gives more luxurious and mature feel.

Be aware of red though, although it looks really hot and it is noticeable straight away, if not used with caution and thought it may give a tacky or 'in your face' look. Also, a note for mature women wearing red satin lingerie: carefully choose the shade of red. The wrong colour can really age you and make you look cheap. Please be aware of that!

Bad things about satin

Sometimes the lace sewed together with satin can look a bit fake, or, may I say, tacky. If you are not sure what I am on about, I mean e.g. the ends of some camisoles or chemises that are finished in different semi sheer material which is lace.

In order for the lace to look really well on satin, colours should be really matching and the needlework should be done perfectly. It does not happen often though, unfortunately. It is due to the mass production that cannot pay attention to really small details which, in my opinion, are crucial for lingerie. Small details finished in a perfect way can really make lingerie look extra luxurious and really irresistible.

Satin is really, and I will stress that again, really hard to taylor. That is why we get many camisoles or chemises made of satin, and not other types of lingerie. Satin looks best when it is more loose, as it lets the fabric to fall in a graceful and luxurious way.

Also it does not stretch, so you have to really find a size which is not smaller than your actual measurements. If you are really not sure which size will suit you, buy one size up rather than down.

Finally...

I hope this helps for ladies that are thinking of getting satin lingerie or just looking for advice about this fabric. Let me know if you have questions about this or other lingerie fabrics and I will be delighted to help you.

I would like to thank you for reading this post.

Buying Lingerie For Your Partner - a Guide For Men

Ok, it's a birthday or anniversary coming up, and you want to get her something nice.

You've decided that you would love to see her in something sexy, slinky, or see through.

She's lost weight and you want to let her know you've noticed, or maybe (more likely) you're just out of ideas and you have followed the siren's call, that has lured men to their doom for generations and decided to buy her lingerie.

This is where the female readers of this article, clap their hand to their brow, shake their heads in disbelief and yell 'don't do it' at the screen.

Well, Ladies, settle back, breathe easy and panic no more, because I'm about to give the guys a little advice on the do's (and more importantly) don'ts, of lingerie purchasing.

Firstly, get some idea of what you want. In the old days, men had to sneak furtive glances at the women's section in the Freeman's catalogue, or head for the ads near the back of the Sunday papers to get an inkling of what was available.


The Internet has changed all that, and firing up Google, could have you waist deep in knickers within 5 seconds.

Secondly, and this is a biggie. Have a sneaky peek in her knickers drawer. Peer into the depths of her wardrobe. Delve into the places where men never go and have a look at what she likes. More importantly, look at the label and log whatever information you discover, deep into your memory banks. Or better still take a notepad with you on your clandestine mission, and write it down.

On arriving in the sacred halls of femininity, or as it's better known in female circles, the lingerie department. Do not sneak around the place like a furtive sex pest.

No matter how hard your heart is pumping. No matter how much you know you're going to turn into a gibbering idiot the moment the beautiful assistant turns her long lashed eyes towards you, try to keep calm. Step boldly between the racks of basques and corsets. Look around confidently as if you had lingerie for breakfast every day.

Touch the odd chemise, as if to test the quality of the garment. Pick up a suspender belt, examine the label and elasticity (please don't aim it at the fat woman by the door and twang it, like you were firing the catapult you had when you were 10)

Don't hang around the knickers aisle too long. It doesn't feel right in there and you might end up looking like a pervert if you dally.


Three or four minutes of browsing should be enough to convince everyone that you are an experienced ' lingerist'. Any longer and too much interest shown in the French knickers section, might convince everyone that you are a cross dresser.

Bide your time and amble up to the assistant when she's free. Don't stand nervously behind her as she's helping a customer, you'll only make her jump out of her skin when you cough to get her attention. You don't want to get on her bad side this early in the encounter.

Never, hold up a cupped hand (or worse two) and say, 'about this big' when she asks you what size you require. She's seen it a million times and it will only convince her that you are either an imbecile, or worse still, a man out on his own in a lingerie store for the first time.

Don't expect sympathy. She's heard all the sob stories before. She's been told a million times how you are stuck for ideas for your partner's birthday and lingerie was the last resort.


Instead, exude confidence. Tell her you'd like a 36dd bra and knickers set. Ask about the quality of the silk baby doll. Don't giggle as you say the word 'knickers' either, or she'll be off dealing with the transvestite further up the counter before you can say g string. At least he knows what he wants.

Get gift wrapping. Yes I know it's extortionate, but think about it. Do you want her to be excited when presented with the gift?

If it's professionally wrapped, she will take her time opening it. She'll take care with the bow and ease the wrapping open. The anticipation will rise, believe me. You could put a dead rat in a shoe box and as long as it was wrapped nicely, you'll get 5 points just for making the effort.


Conversely, give her something resembling the paper the chips came wrapped in and it wouldn't matter if it had an exact copy of Princess Di's wedding ring inside. You will only get a cold stare and no chance of seeing her tonight in the sexy red basque you just bought. You're more likely to get the cold shoulder and the flannelette nightie her evil granny gave her as a wedding gift.

Once the purchases are paid for, wrapped and deposited in a carrier that proudly boasts 'I GET MINE AT KNICKERS R US' Ignore the florescent pink and purple lettering and ask calmly if they have a plain bag you could hide it in. Explain that you would hate your partner to guess what you've bought her when you get home.

Don't mention the cat calls and whistles you know you'll get, if you get on the tram carrying the damn thing.

Consider the best time for your foray into the world of women. You don't want to get home when she's around. If you're caught sneaking in the back door like a burglar with a swag bag, you'll be suspected of more than just taking the afternoon off without permission.


Plan the mission with military precision. Leave nothing to chance. Ideally, pick a time when she's at the hairdresser, or better still, visiting her mother. She'll be gone for hours and you'll have plenty of time to unwind and sip a nerve settling beer or three.

You can kick off your shoes and relax, safe in the knowledge that she is safely ensconced in her mother's kitchen, listening for the millionth time about why she still believes your wife picked the wrong guy and how that nice Teddy Mathews would have made a far better choice. He didn't fart at the dinner table the first time you bought him home. Did he?

Hide the stash in your sports bag, the place you keep your jock strap and cricket box. It's as safe as houses.

How To Entice Your Lover With Fantasy Lingerie

Everyone loves a fantasy every once in a while. At work, we dream up whole scenarios on what we really want to say to our boss. While shopping we imagine all the goodies we would buy if we had a bottomless pocketbook. Fantasies are fun and harmless, but are often overlooked in the bedroom where they are great fuel to our sex lives. Fantasy lingerie is often just the spark we need to ignite a passion fire.

What is fantasy lingerie? Fantasy lingerie lets you slip into another persona for a night. The fun begins when you dress up as someone or something else, release your inhibitions and go on a sexual odyssey with your partner. Fantasy lingerie can be theatrical, dramatic, animalistic, or absurd. It often bears only a passing resemblance to its real-life counterpart, but this is a welcome departure from reality.

For many couples, this is just the jump-start a troubled relationship needs. It is easy to get very comfortable with a partner. After all, we often share a house, bed and bathroom with them. We see each other at our worst and we get to learn each other's routine. Our days may be predictable but our nights should never be. By wearing fantasy lingerie, you introduce a new element into your love life and re-invigorate the love that you already have for each other.


Some of the most popular styles of fantasy lingerie make it easy to pretend and play. Perennial favorites like the French Maid, the Nurse, and School Girl costumes are sexy, irresistible, and will never go out of style. Try role playing with your fantasy lingerie. There are a variety of scenarios that you could use that will allow you and your partner to bond and share.

Sometimes fantasy lingerie does not have to resemble a character at all; often the lingerie that will drive your man wild can simply be filmy lingerie and sexy shoes. The point is to let go of your inhibitions and tell each other exactly what you want in bed while wearing your lingerie. By acting out each other's fantasies, you can strengthen your relationship and feel closer to your partner than ever before.

How To Take Care Of Your Lingerie

Your lingerie item is a delicate piece of clothing, and it deserves more care compared to your everyday apparel. And it is a must that you follow the instructions written on your lingerie's label. By taking care of them properly, your lingerie will look as fresh as you have first bought it, and will also last for a long time.

Lingerie manufacturers recommend that you handwash your lingerie in cold water. Putting it inside a washing machine may ruin its look and give you an ill fit. When you wash it by hand, you can ensure that your lingerie does not get caught up in the walls of the tub.

As with your ordinary clothes, wash different-colored lingerie separately to avoid staining your intimates with each other's colors. It is also recommended that you don't wash your lingerie with other clothes so the hooks or fasteners don't get caught up with your shirts, blouses or pants.

Use a delicate detergent or soap to wash your lingerie. This will ensure that they will remain in tip-top shape for months, even years. Hard soaps and the ordinary detergents you use for your everyday clothing tend to be harsh on your lingerie. Also, never use bleach when laundering your innerwear, as it has ingredients that can be unkind to your lingerie.

Never wring them to remove excess water if you want to retain your lingerie's beautiful shape. Hang it out to dry instead. Don't iron them, too - the heat from the iron may also damage these delicate items. If possible, and if best recommended by the manufacturer, dry-clean your lingerie so it maintains its loveliness longer.

Washing your lingerie entails special care. But if you're too busy, in a hurry to clean your delicates and would want to wash your lingerie using a washing machine, remember to use a lingerie bag.

Lingerie bags are like mesh bags that allow in water and soap so you can wash your delicates without worries of snags and tears. All you have to do is just put your bras, panties and other intimates inside the lingerie bag and wash them in cold water using a gentle cycle. With a lingerie bag, your delicates are protected from tears, stretching and being pulled out of shape.

You can also use the lingerie bag if you decide - and if you really need to - tumble dry your intimates. What's more, this little bag can also be used to store your freshly washed lingerie when you need to travel. It's truly a functional and practical item, isn't it?

Want Delicate Intimates - Try Baby Doll Lingerie Today

Baby doll lingerie has many exciting styles to pick from. The styles can vary from innocent and sweet to exciting and daring. You are really only limited by your taste. Most women (and men) appreciate how short baby doll lingerie is.

Generally, baby doll lingerie consists of some sort of very short dress, and there is often a set of matching panties or a thong. Lace baby doll lingerie is often see-through, which can add to the excitement. Stretchy lace can form fit to the body to create a super-sexy silhouette. This can be enhanced by adding a slightly padded or even an underwire bra top.

For a flirtier look, try a flouncy skirt on your baby doll lingerie. While a sheer baby doll dress can be really sexy, don't underestimate the effect of a sweet little cotton outfit. Remember that "sweet" can be just as seductive as "sexy." Again, the choice boils down to your style, and perhaps that of your partner. The most important aspect is to have fun with you choice.

While "baby doll" describes a certain type of lingerie, there are numerous cuts, styles, and details available. For those with narrower shoulders, a halter-style baby doll dress might be just the right choice. Another woman might prefer a little outfit with cap sleeves to cover her shoulders. For a little peek-a-boo, consider a style that includes fabric cutouts strategically placed on your body. You can also choose to show a little extra skin by purchasing baby doll lingerie that ties under the bust and falls open below to expose your torso.

The details on your intimate apparel can make a difference, too. Little ribbons and bows, for example, will add a completely different feeling than jewels or sequins. Some cotton lace along the hemline creates a different effect than stretch lace around the cups. The type of fabric used to make your baby doll lingerie can also dramatically change its effect. Silk might look glamorous while chiffon has a less formal feel. The color and pattern of the fabric can add to the effect, as well. Black, red, and animal print fabrics are rather "classic" sexy colors, while pastels and polka dots might be seen as a little more fun and flirty.

Baby doll lingerie is one of the most versatile types of lingerie. You can choose from so many different styles and colors and even textures and themes. When choosing baby doll lingerie, make sure you pick something that complements who you are in style and taste. Choosing the wrong piece of baby doll lingerie could put a damper on the entire evening. That's why it can sometimes be important to go shopping with your partner. In fact, that can even add a little more spice to the upcoming evening.
