The Future Mission of Lingerie

What is the mission of lingerie and why should we wear lingerie? What is the true value of lingerie? To put it simply, lingerie should accomplish one of these three missions. Show it. Hide it. Pretend you got it.

There is no such thing as sexy lingerie. It is the woman that is sexy! Lingerie is only to help the woman or man enhance their sex appeal. In other words, lingerie does not make you sexy, it makes what is sexy about you sexier. Just like make up, you use lingerie to hide flaws, and enhance your best features. Or give the illusion of features you are a little short on.

Lingerie can enhance your breast, or derriere or it can show off your bust or tush. Lingerie can hide your stretch marks or show off your beautiful abdominal muscles or it can hide you flabby upper arms, or show off your beautiful smooth shoulders. That is one of the reasons lingerie is so popular. You wear lingerie to make yourself sexier and to tantalize the opposite sex.

Lingerie uses mystery, excitement, and tease. Lingerie, when selected properly, helps to provide those three elements. Take three pictures of the same woman. In picture one she is wearing a nice blouse and jeans. In picture two, she is dressed in lingerie. In picture three she is completely naked. Place the three pictures in front of a man and ask him to pick out the woman he finds to be the most sexy.

More often than not his eyes will first look over the naked woman, because, she is naked. Then he will look over the lingerie woman. Odds are, he will choose the woman in lingerie. Why? Out of the three pictures, the woman in lingerie is the only one that accomplishes all three missions, and provides all three elements listed above. Let's break down all three pictures.

The full clothed woman is providing plenty of mystery, very little excitement, and almost no tease. Fully clothed women are seen every day, where is the excitement and tease in that? The woman in lingerie is a tease. He can not see everything, only what she wants him to see. That leads to the mystery. What is she hiding? What is under the parts I can not see. Finally, excitement, you do not see that every day, and you can not wait to see the rest.

The nude woman offers plenty of excitement and some tease, because she is desirable and he wants more. Although there is not much more to give. Where is the mystery? She is fully exposed, so there is nothing to tantalize his mind and the mind is the largest sex organ of the human body. The value of lingerie is in what it helps create, and in the mission it accomplishes. You just have to know how to choose the right lingerie.

Ladies you know what your best features are. You know what you do not want to show. The female sex has always been best at the tease. You just need to keep these things in mind when selecting your lingerie outfit. The hardest part is choosing the right outfit for you. Whether you are buying on-line, or at a retail store, there is someone available to help you make your selection.

The Latest Trends in Lingerie

In the fashion world, trends in clothing changes all the time and lingerie is no exception to the rule. In fact, the trends in lingerie continues to change all the time and there are always some thing new on the market.

To find out what the latest trends in lingerie are you should either visit your local lingerie store or if they have a website, then you should visit it frequently. Especially, if you enjoy wearing lingerie often and what to keep up with the latest trends. The lingerie business is affected and influenced by what celebrities wear and what is new on the catwalk in the lingerie world.

On new product in the lingerie world is known as the Chopstick Bra. If you are on a lunch break in Tokyo, and you just happen to notice an attractive, young Japanese woman fumbling around inside her blouse, I would not get get your hopes up. The odds are she is not going to give you a flash. She is more than likely just getting out her chopsticks, because there has been a "chopsticks bra" that has been unveiled in Japan for busy women looking to stash their eating utensils while on the go. The Chopstick Bra comes with collapsible chopsticks that are stashed inside the body of the brassiere.

The designers of the Chopstick Bra, Triumph International, is pushing the green message with a bra it hopes will cut down on disposable chopsticks, which are now compact and a form part of the bra's frame. It may been only a small step in the green movement, but many chopsticks in Japan are being disposed off, which is a huge chunk of the forests that are being cut down to make them. The Chopstick Bra is supposedly suppose to help cut down on the disposal of chopsticks.

Chopsticks were first used in China almost four thousand years ago and about three hundred years ago they went disposable in Japan. The Japanese throw away an estimated twenty-five billion pairs of wooden chopsticks every year, which are already made by recycled wood chips. The only think I hope is that these bras are worn by women that do not sweat!

Another new trend in lingerie are pantyhose that are made especially for men. In our unisex world it only makes sense that pantyhose for men be marketed to the men who want to wear pantyhose. It is hard for men to wear pantyhose that are made for women because they are not anatomically designed for men and these new pantyhose have a front opening designed especially for men. Furthermore, men are built totally differently around the waist and these new pantyhose for men have a fuller waist that are more comfortable for men to wear. This line of pantyhose and footless tights may be the most popular new product for the trans-gender and cross dresser market in a while, which are manufactured by Gerbe.

One other unique lingerie trend is the Butt Bra, which helps hold up the weight of the buttocks, lifts and defines the curvature of buttocks, and maximizes small or flat derrieres. The Butt Bra does not leave any visible lines under most clothing and will help enhance the effect of from fitting clothes. It also adds comfort because of its supports, smooths out the back of the thighs, and provides a really put together look. The butt bra provides support for the sagging butt cheeks, and makes your butt look great whether in a skirt or jeans, but like a lot of products that hit the market only time will tell whether this product gains acceptance.

Proper Cleaning Tips For Your Lingerie

Keep in mind that lingerie is often worn during periods of relaxation, which can be before bedtime, on vacation, and on honeymoons so they do not have to be washed frequently like your other clothing.

So do not forget that often the perfumes and colognes worn by you and your partner can be absorbed by these delicate fabrics. Further, if you or your partner smoke, then the odor of tobacco will be absorbed into the garment. Just because you are not wearing the baby-doll to mow the lawns or change the oil does not mean that they do not get dirty, it is just a different kind of dirty.

The general rule in cleaning your lingerie to make them last longer is do not wash anything in hot water and do not dry your lingerie in the dryer. The type of detergents that you may use, such as Tide, Cheer, Gain, and other major brand names that will often work wonders with the general cleaning of your clothing, but they should not be used on your lingerie. If your tee shirt has ketchup on it, then by all means use your regular detergent on it, otherwise use a gentle or milder detergent such as Wool-lite or Ivory Snow. A cold water wash by hand in Wool-lite will be all that those sexy lingerie items need and they will love you for it. Since you should not use your dryer for lingerie, simply drip dry or dry on a towel for longer life and brighter colors.

Some lingerie items require or may demand a higher degree of cleaning responsibility than lingerie. Breast enhancers, adhesive bras, leather lingerie, and rhinestone lingerie are examples of some of the garments not only cannot be washed, and they require special cleaning in order to prevent damage that could easily ruin the item. Breast enhancers are made from silicone, which are merely plastic bags with silicone gel inside in the rough form of a woman's breast. They rest against your breast inside your bra and the cleaning that is required is a simple hand soap and warm water with a pat dry with a soft cloth. Remember to make certain that the enhancers are placed back in their forms and are not punctured or used as your cats plaything is also essential.

The main problem with breast enhancers and adhesive bras, such as Nubras, are that their adhesive backings require cleaning after each use and being kept away from dust, lint, and definitely do not use cloth to clean or dry them. These items must be air dried and the adhesive can be used up to one hundred times. Leather lingerie is an item that to some degree defies cleaning, because leather panties should be cleaned after every wearing by using a damp cloth to clean the interior of the garment to remove moisture and soiling. Great care should be used to clean this garment as water and leather are not a good combination.

Rhinestone lingerie, such as rhinestone panties and bras should be cleaned after each wearing using a damp cloth with mild soap and a q-tip, which may be helpful. Dancers may wear these items on a very regular basis and cleaning is a must, so have a bottle of Tarn-X on hand as these lingerie and jewelry items must have special treatment. Lingerie often have accents that are made from pearls, imitation or real rhinestones, and other types of embellishments, which have been sewn or glued onto the garment. Failure to use the right care may cause these items to fall off and in the washer they will be sucked down the drain without any chance of retrieval. Since these garments do not get deeply soiled hand washing is preferable to machine washing and the extra time at the sink is the best policy for keeping them sexy and sensual garments.

How Lingerie Makes a Women Feel

Purchasing sexy lingerie for yourself is definitely all about how it makes you look, but more importantly it is about how it makes you feel. There are a lot of different styles and colors of sexy lingerie on the market that will affect how you feel about yourself.

It is more important how a piece of lingerie makes you look, that depends on how it makes you feel. The truth is how the lingerie makes you look determines how it makes you feel. Sexy lingerie should make a woman look feminine, although many pieces of lingerie can and should make a woman look dangerous, dominant, and absolutely delicious. The right type of lingerie should make a woman look however she wants to project herself or to the man in her life.

The fact that there is so much variety in the lingerie market can really make it difficult to choose the exactly the right outfit. The question at the outset has to be how do you want to really feel and are you looking to feel sexy, playful, dominant, or just plain flirtatious? Well, the good news is that there are lingerie outfits out there on the market that are designed to meet every whim you or he has. That is the beauty of sexy lingerie that is made in so many styles, fabric, colors, and sizes that every woman can purchase an outfit for every possible evening or event.

Purchasing sexy lingerie can be daunting if you are not armed with some information before beginning your journey. The definition of sexy can be expressed as your feminine sexuality to the fullest. The solution is lingerie such as boob out baby dolls, shelf bras, crotchless panties, leather lingerie, garter belts, and stockings.

In the sexy category, boob out baby dolls, are lingerie that will expose your breasts, which makes it difficult to find anything sexier. Some may object that these items take away all the mystery of a woman's body and expose it for all to see. There are plenty of lingerie items that leave some mystery, and a little bit more to the imagination. This category includes the boob out chemise and boob out bras, which are unlike the shelf bras. This is one of the most popular sexy lingerie items on the market and giving a woman these items as a gift leaves no doubt what is on his mind. More importantly, wearing these items makes most women feel very sexy as they expose the breasts and it is impossible not to feel feminine and desirable.

Shelf bras place the breasts on a shelf with under wire support, and worn alone or under clothing will make the breasts appear larger while offering support. Avoid these type bras if you have a D cup or above, because they simply do not provide enough support and your breasts will not gain the desired effect. These bras offer no coverage over the breasts and they will make you feel sexy, feminine, and desirable.

Along with the boob out lingerie items, crotchless panties include teddies and crotchless panties, which is often combined with boob out bras. These can be worn alone in intimate settings or under skirts and jeans. They offer the adventurous couple the flashing potential and make a woman feel exposed and vulnerable as access to erotic encounters is not inhibited. As with all the items in this category, the crotchless panties are not subtle and that is the beauty of the articles, because they make you feel hot and naughty. Some women report that wearing these panties is next to wearing no panties, as in going commando and they wear these for the thrill of knowing they are wearing crotchless panties, and only they or their mates know this.

Leather lingerie such as panties, bras, halters, baby dolls, and teddies are very sexy. Wearing leather is a statement of wearing biker wear, and all that goes with that outlaw mystique. Never mind that many Harley Davidson motorcycle owners are dentists, lawyers, and other professionals, this sexy lingerie has the very naughty and mystique look that being a bike girl carries is strong and sexually tinged.
