Lingerie for All Shapes and Sizes

Lingerie for All Shapes and Sizes

Generally, the word lingerie is associated with France. This makes sense seeing as lingerie is a French word, and most people would agree that the French language is romantic and sexy.

Lingerie comes in many different forms, including corsets, gowns, bustiers, and the ever popular animal print panties. There has been considerable development in lingerie over the years, and thankfully the industry caters for all shapes and sizes from petite to curvy and everything in between.

Lingerie is popular with both men and women as it shows off the body of a woman in a way that is most erotic and seductive.

Carefully chosen pieces of lingerie can make any woman look and feel beautiful as they are designed to plays up your very best features.

A typical example is a corset or bustier. This piece will pull you in at the waist and push up your bust. Coupled with some attractive high heels, thigh stockings and lace panties, most men (and women) would agree that this conjures up a very seductive image.

We find that many women are not happy with their stomachs in some way, especially after pregnancy and likewise their breasts. A corset happily tackles both problems by slimming the stomach and perking up the breasts, leaving them feeling like they did when they were eighteen! Support stockings deftly hide unwanted cellulite and thigh high stockings make the legs look longer while attractively concealing the bum.

Sexy Shape wear is also very popular. Gone are the days of significant wear “hold me in” pants (cue Bridget Jones). Today there are some beautiful lace corsets pulling in the stomach, hips and love handles, but they look sensational.

If, however, your shape is more slender at the waist and chest, then a side-tie g-string and lace push up bra will help bring out your most feminine side, drawing the eye from the waist to the most intimate of areas. There is no one size or type of lingerie that suits all women. You have to pick your style according to your shape. Buy underwear that accentuates what you have, not what you wish you had.

Thankfully, lingerie comes in endless sizes and styles so you don’t have to worry about finding something that will suit you. Big or small, short or tall, man or woman, there is something for everyone.

The golden rule though is to buy good quality, well-fitting underwear. Nothing ruins the mood quicker than scratchy material or poorly fitting garments that ride up in all the wrong places.

Selective use of lingerie can reinvigorate your sex life and help to make memories that you and your partner will look back on with a cheeky smile, so make sure you get it right!

A woman who feels beautiful simply exudes confidence, and both you and your partner are sure to benefit from that!
