How To Buy Women's Lingerie That's Both Comfortable And Sexy

In the past, when it came to women's plus lingerie, one thing was the focus -- looks. In fact, many women were fine with sacrificing comfort to look sexy. Maybe this was acceptable, due to the limited abilities to create and design lingerie. However, with technology more advanced than ever, there is is no reason why a woman cannot purchase women's lingerie that is both sexy to look at, and comfortable to wear. In this article, I will give you a guide on how to find such lingerie.

First off, sexy and comfortable women's plus lingerie can be achieved no matter what size you wear. There are a variety of different specialty stores that cater to the plus size woman, as well as to different shapes.

Naturally, comfort itself is not the only issue. If it were, than any old flannel or cotton nightgown would do the trick. In fact, that was what lingerie was originally designed for. In the past, there was no racy connotation attached to it. It wasn't until the burlesque era where women's lingerie became thought of as having to be sexy.

When looking for women's plus lingerie, make sure that in addition to looking titillating, it offers you freedom of movement. You want something that let's you breath, isn't overly clingy, and accents your curves instead of forcefully shaping them. If you are looking for something that is going to squeeze you into an impossible shape, then you're going to have to sacrifice comfort in order to achieve this.

Comfortable and sexy women's lingerie for the plus size woman is even more of an issue. In the past, there was so little choice that you basically had to settle for whatever you could find. However, that is not true any more. The demand for plus size women's lingerie has exploded, therefore forcing manufacturers and retailers to cater to plus size women. Because of this, there are now many different options that are available to the plus size woman.

Also, remember that you do not have to look sexy all the time with your lingerie. It is good to purchase both sensual products and lingerie you where just for your own for a comfort. There are real options available to you to fulfill both of these categories.

In conclusion, I have given you some information on to help you seek out and find plus lingerie that is sexy and comfortable.

Lingerie for Different Occasions

A lot of women are confused about what kind of lingerie to wear every day, and for special occasions. Therefore, I decided to give some advice and introduce you to different styles of lingerie and when to wear it.

Every Day Lingerie

Office

If you have an office job, and you always tend to wear pencil skirts and blouses, the best lingerie for you is bra set with thigh highs with suspender belts. Wearing it will make you feel sexy all day long, and it will be comfortable too. Wear G-string instead of regular panties, as panties tend to leave streaks visible on the skirt, and you really do not want that to be seen. If you wear blouses, definitely wear push up bra, as your bust shape will look really good.

On The Go

If you have an active job, try to wear more supportive lingerie, like supportive bra (sports bra) and a thong. I do not recommend suspender belts or thigh highs, as they may not be so comfortable if you move a lot. Try to wear materials that are gentle to the skin, like silk. Silk will not leave your skin rough or red if it brushes against the skin.

Weekend Lingerie

This is my favourite type of lingerie. There are so many types to choose from! Bra sets, corsets, teddies, camisoles. It really depends what you are going to do in your spare time.


If you want to spend a quiet evening with champagne and plan to have nice bubble bath, then definitely wear nice chemise or baby doll. It will give you self-esteem, and you will feel sexy and comfortable.

If you plan to go out and have a wild night, like going to clubs, or bars, you would feel great wearing bra set, and some females prefer wearing corsets as you can go out wearing corset with skirt or jeans, and you will look great. If also makes your figure look slimmer and very feminine, and lifts your bust.

Also, you may wish to wear camisole, as now it is very popular to wear it outside. There are many types of camisoles available, and women wear them nowadays as regular tops.

Teddies are great to wear on nights out too, and some of them give you thinner figure and very seductive shape too.

Date Lingerie

If you cannot get your head round on what to wear on your first night together, this part is for you.

I advise you to wear something that you feel comfortable in, and it should have a sexy edge too. Not too revealing though. And definitely not something that is very cheap, as you can easily tell.


Nice camisole, baby doll or elegant bra set would be the best choices. The colours to stick with are black, white, plum, really dark red or some other elegant colour. I would advice not to go for really bright colours, like pink or yellow. Go for something more elegant and subtle.

In general, if you are really not sure what to go for trust your own judgment or go for something that is more subtle and elegant.

Bustiers - Your Secret Weapon to a Sexier Figure

Prepping for a party? Wanting to wear that sexy figure-hugging dress but getting a bit worried about unsightly bulges? If it's too late to go on a crash diet, here's the next best solution: bustiers.

Yes, a bustier is your secret weapon to make those lumps and bumps disappear for a while - until you get home from the party, that is. Seriously, a bustier can instantly make you look smooth under anything you wear. It's made to give your breasts a lift and define your waistline, giving you a curvier and shapelier silhouette.

Bustiers are tight-fitting garments with bra cups. They offer support to your breasts while, at the same time, shaping your tummy and waist. Bustiers may be made using elastic fabrics or would have boning to help sculpt your figure. There are those that are made seamless, so people won't notice you're wearing a bustier underneath.

They could have closures using hooks or lace or strings, depending on its design and purpose. While there are bustiers that have back closures, many modern designs incorporate front closure so you could open and close them more easily. It is usually strapless, but many still come with removable shoulder straps - just in case you need extra security. The sexier bustiers have garter clips to hold your stockings up, making them perfect to wear if you want to catch your partner's attention.

For a lot of occasions, a bustier is a great garment to wear under your dress. Bridal bustiers can be worn under your wedding gown to give you curves at the right places - and they can even heat up your honeymoon night. There are low-back bustiers for those formal dresses that offer shaping and support even for those almost-backless and strapless fashions. You can wear them under almost anything!

Just remember, as with all lingerie and shapewear, a great fit is essential to feel comfortable and look beautiful. So get yourself measured and buy a bustier that fits your size. An ill-fitting bustier will just make your figure not-so-flattering under that dress. The right-sized bustier will give you the benefits of a smooth, curvaceous look. And that's exactly what you want, right?

Icing on the Cake - Lingerie Accessories - Part 4 - Fans

The feathered fan is the quintessential lingerie accessory, and there are so many words to describe it. It's seductive, sensual, playful, and expressive. In truth, it's all of that and more.

Fans have been around for centuries, and with Dita von Tesse leading the revival of burlesque, having one in your boudoir has never been more fun! There are multiple options with it, from doing a stripe tease, to fan dancing, to using a blindfold and caressing your lucky love. The soft, delicate feathers can only enhance an already intimate situation, making it more erotic.

Fans come in a variety of sizes, colors, and feathers. Alison Rubke, co-owner of Faire Frou Frou, says that the fans fly out of her store. Some of the more exquisite and one-of-a-kind ones can sell for a couple hundred to thousands of dollars. You can also pick up a quality, luxurious fan for under $100. Believe it or not, I've even seen them priced as low as $20. Although, remember that the large price difference varies based upon the quality and size of the it as well as type of feathers used.

For those of you wanting more versatility out of your fan, you can take them out of the bedroom too. "Pocket fans," smaller versions of their larger sisters, are recommended for this. At a black tie or formal event, the addition of a one will add a luxurious, extravagant look to your overall attire. With wedding season and summer coming, feathered pocket fans are perfect for outside of the boudoir.

Whether you're into a big production, dressing up an outfit or simply enhancing your bedroom play, feathered fans are an enjoyable way to "Celebrate Your Inner Eve!"

Virtues of a Bra That Fits

We've all been there. There is the bra strap that perpetually falls down, the strapless bra that migrates to your mid-section, and even the Grand Canyon shoulder strap crevasse. It all comes down to finding a bra that fits.

A bra that fits well is a priceless piece of lingerie! Because of that, here are "The Virtues":

1. Comfort

2. Confidence

3. It frees you of pesky underwire that can dig into your skin

4. It makes your breasts look like assets instead of liabilities

5. It enhances what you have instead of what you don't when the cup size is too big

6. It keeps your ample girls from spilling out the top on too small cup sizes

7. It keeps cleavage in the front, where it belongs, instead of on your back. You'll avoid that ghastly back cleavage caused by too BIG band sizes. (Go down a size and wear it lower on your back. It will eliminate back cleavage)

8. It supports your breasts and fights off the dreaded gravitational pull

9. Straps stay put instead of slipping down the side of your arms, leaving your breasts with lop-sided support. We all know that means "no support." (Most likely your bra band is riding up and you need to go down a band size)

10. It creates a better support for your back

11. It enhances your curves in ways that you never thought possible

12. It's a mood enhancing experience

13. Your confidence in how you feel and look is an instant aphrodisiac to your spouse, boyfriend or lover

There is an art to finding a good bra that makes you feel comfortable, assured, and luxurious all day. Before you can find that perfect bra, you have to know your bra size. You'd think it was a national phenomenon when Oprah showed a segment on how to find your bra size and it was announced that "85% of women in America are wearing the wrong bra size."

What is a woman to do? Get measured!

Go to a local boutique, measuring is one of the special services provided at the select stores. To find one near you, do a search online.
