Baffled by babydolls? Confused about catsuits? There’s no need to get your knickers in a twist! We’ve put together this brief guide to help you choose lingerie that will make you, or your partner, feel sexy and confident.
The Bare Necessities
When it comes to choosing lingerie, pick something to suit your mood or your partner’s style. For those looking to create a classically seductive lingerie look, enhance their shape, or experiment with PVC, latex or leather; structured lingerie offers figure-hugging and body-sculpting effects.
If you are looking for something less restrictive or more fun and flirty, choose something playful and floaty that allows you to bend, flex, and roll around in without restriction.
Structured Lingerie
Bodystockings are perfect for those who want something tight-fighting, fun, and sexy. They are stretchy head-to-toe garments that are made from the same material as tights or stockings. They are s comfy all-in-one lingerie solution that will have your partner weak at the knees.

Corsets are a classic. They are fitted with figure-sculpting boning that is specifically designed to reduce your waist, enhance your curves, and boost your bust. Most corsets are designed to cover the bust, but there are also underbust corsets that expose the breasts.
