Bodys

What is an erotic body?

An erotic body shapes your whole silhouette in a single piece. It defines the waist, lifts the bust and frames the hips. You will find them in sheer lace, all-over mesh, satin and vinyl, and also with harness designs and decorative straps, in thong cuts or with openings. It is one of the widest ranges in lingerie: after lingerie sets, the one with the most variety. If you want a lower neckline and something just for the bedroom, see the teddies too. If you want something that cinches your waist, see corsets and bustiers.

Types of sexy bodys

They differ mainly by fabric and cut.

• Sheer lace: the romantic, erotic classic. It works as lingerie and also as a top under a blazer.
• Mesh: covers without hiding, with maximum transparency, and is comfortable to wear.
• Vinyl or wet-look: shiny and tight, with a bold fetish look. You will find more pieces in this style in fetish and leather.
• Harness or straps: has adjustable straps that frame the body. It is a bondage-chic style and a strong trend.
• Open styles: they have openings at the bust, crotch or back, so you do not need to take it off.
• Bodystocking: made of mesh or fishnet, it continues down the legs like tights attached to the body. You can find long-sleeved, halter and V-neck styles, and many with an open crotch.

Care

Most of the ones that list the composition on the product page are nylon or polyamide, often with elastane. These are fine fabrics that snag easily. Hand wash them in cold water with a mild soap, without wringing them, and dry them flat. Even so, the care label on each piece comes first. Leather or vinyl ones should not go in water: wipe them with a damp cloth.

How to choose

• Material: the product page gives the composition. If it contains elastane, the fabric stretches and fits your body better.
• Size: check whether it is one size or comes in sizes, and compare your measurements with the guide on the product page.
• Crotch: it can be open, fastened with snaps or closed. The name and the product page tell you which.
• Transparency: the name and photos show whether it is lace, mesh or opaque fabric. Fine lace and mesh let your skin show through.
• Neck and sleeves: halter, high neck, V-neck, strappy or long-sleeved. Each one sits differently on the shoulders and bust.
• Fit: adjustable straps help if you are between two sizes.

Erotic bodies: frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a body, a teddy and a bodysuit?

A body is fitted like a swimsuit and closes at the crotch with snaps. A teddy is similar, but with a lower neckline and more erotic details, and it is not worn under clothes. Bodysuit is the general term that covers both, and in erotic lingerie body and teddy are used interchangeably.

Can you wear an erotic body as outerwear?

Yes. Opaque lace or black mesh ones work as a top under a blazer, a leather jacket or an open cardigan, and vinyl or wet-look ones are worn on their own for a night out. It is one of the strongest trends in current evening fashion.

How do you choose a body size?

Look mainly at your torso length, the distance from shoulder to crotch: if the body is too short, it pulls and feels uncomfortable, and if it is too long, it bunches. If you are between two sizes, choose the larger one. Stretch lace adapts, but it does not stretch vertically.

What is the opening at the crotch for?

For having sex or touching that area without taking your body off. On the ones that fasten with snaps you just undo them, and that way you can also go to the bathroom without undressing.

Are there sexy bodys in plus sizes?

Yes. They run from XS to 4XL, and on each product page you will see which size it goes up to. The widest lingerie size ranges are gathered in plus sizes.
