Happy Monday Sexy Readers!
We here at Panties Required were just on the ‘Esquire’ website and came across a very fitting article that we must share with all our male readers who are looking into purchasing some sexy lingerie for your lady. From “Things You Need to Know About Lingerie,” it goes to show that there are certain things you must know about lingerie before you decide on what to get. We know that sometimes all the different types of bras, panties, and sleepwear terms can confuse you, therefore, Panties Required will provide to you 5 Things you definitely need to know about lingerie.
1. The Bras- We know that you have come across different terms for bras: demi, underwire, convertible, push-up, and padded. Don’t worry if you were wondering what they meant. That’s what we’re here for. A demi bra is more of a half-cup bra that provides less coverage, perfect for pairing with low cut tops. An underwire bra contains wire that runs through each cup to provide extra support to the bust. A convertible bra allows the straps to be removable and adjustable in order to match certain outfits that can be strapless, racerback, one shoulder, etc. A push-up bra pushes the breasts together to create sexy cleavage that many women love. Finally, the padded bra contains padding inside that creates fuller breasts and provides enhancement. Another tip though, is unless you are very comfortable and completely know that your girl will be okay with what you buy, opt for anything BUT the push-up and padded, it might give her the wrong idea.
2. The Panties- Like most apparel, certain panties also look good particularly on certain body types. Make sure you understand and know your sweetheart’s shape. Panties with a higher cut like bikinis look good on shorter or thicker women because it helps to elongate the legs. Boy shorts, which look like booty shorts look better on taller women with smaller hips. If all else fails, go for the thong because most women wear thongs and you will definitely like them too!
3. The Sleepwear- Here are more terms to decode for you. A camisole (also called a cami) is a sleeveless top that has spaghetti straps, which is similar to a tank top, but a tank has thicker straps. A teddy is more of a full bodysuit, that is reminiscent of a one-piece bathing suit, combining a cami and panties. A chemise is a short nightgown that only extends to the thighs to reveal those sexy legs that you love. A babydoll is similar to this, but is often cut higher and flares open. What do you think is most sexy?
4. The Color- We know that in all your fantasies, she is wearing red. It is a hot choice of color, but when you’re thinking more everyday and conventional underwear that she can use, most women prefer nude, black or white, which are best selling colors (colors which Cosabella makes beautifully). If you are thinking both sexy and conventional, you can never go wrong with black. With that said, fun colors also come in handy so don’t opt it out.
5. The Size- Make sure you know her size! This is crucial, crucial, crucial. Lingerie should look sexy, but also feel sexy. She needs to feel comfortable in what she’s wearing and know that it looks good and it looks right on her. Most panties come in S, M, L so make sure you check to see which one she is.
We hope this served to be helpful to BOTH our male and female shoppers. Make sure you remember these tips so that Panties Required shopping will be made easier for you. xo
