Types of Women's Lingerie

The holiday season is drawing close, and you may be considering buying some women lingerie for yourself or to give away as gifts. In that case, perhaps it may be useful to remind you that there are many different types of women lingerie to choose from. Here are some examples.

Baby doll nightie

The name says it all. The baby doll nightie is an adorable little outfit. It looks somewhat like a gown, with 2 bra like cups. The skirt is exceeding short, making the wear appear cute and sexy. The baby doll nightie can be made from different types of materials such as silk, nylon and cotton.

Garter belt

The garter belt is a piece of lingerie that is worn around the waist. Of course, it is not meant to hold a pair of pants up! Rather, it is meant to be an accessory to complement the whole outfit. Straps from stockings can be attached to the garter belt for a more dramatic effect.

Teddy nightie

The teddy nightie looks very similar to the baby doll nightie, except that the skirt is even shorter. It also looks somewhat like a gown, and can be made from similar materials. As the skirt is very short, the teddy nightie usually comes with a pair of skimpy panties.

Bustier

The bustier is a commonly seen piece of lingerie. It is a strapless bra that goes all the way down to the waist and stops there. It is a very versatile piece of lingerie, and can be used to match a wide variety of clothing.

Chemise

Chemise lingerie is a less skimpy piece of lingerie with a skirt that falls just above the knee. It is a gown that offers a unique alternative from the large variety of skimpy lingerie available in the marketplace.

Thongs a g-strings

Thongs and g-strings are becoming vastly popular lingerie. They are usually worn with tight clothing as there is no visible panty line. Most are made from silky materials and are very comfortable to wear. Wearing a thong or a g-string feels as if there is no underwear!

Peignoir

This is a piece of lingerie that is not so commonly worn. It is a gown that falls to the ankles. Therefore, it is only compatible with very long dresses, and long dresses are not for everyday occasions.

Everyday lingerie

Everyday lingerie like push-up bras and other supportive bras are more practical. Women with smaller breasts can consider push-up bras to create to illusion of larger breasts. Larger breast women may need under wired bras for better support. In addition, bras may come in cups of different shapes. For instance, a demi cup bra is needed if you are going to wear a low cut dress.

There are many different types of women lingerie available in the market, and you may be spoilt for choice. But variety just makes the whole lingerie shopping process a lot more fun and interesting.
