Fetish / Leather

Fetish leather lingerie brings together pieces made to dress power play: harnesses, dresses, bodysuits and teddies with straps, rings and hardware. The leather is almost always synthetic (faux leather or leather-effect) and the product page says so. To choose, start with the material: it determines how the piece fits, how it feels and how you care for it.

What is fetish leather lingerie?

It is clothing designed to look bold and to help you step into a role: dominating, submitting or simply breaking from the usual. There are chest and body harnesses by Subblime, Leather Body, Fetish Submissive and Leg Avenue; dresses and a bodysuit by Subblime in synthetic or leather-effect material with lace; a Passion corset in leather and mesh; faux leather jockstraps by Macho Underwear and latex gloves by Exposed. From Me-Seduce come the teddies and sets in tulle and stretch fabric with straps, metal rings and, on the Imane teddy, faux leather straps and waistband. Two Subblime teddies complete the range, one in leather-look in a plus size and another with a zip, along with a Passion set with bra and suspender belt in one piece and unisex open-crotch panties by Darkness. This is what is known as bondage wear. There are no PVC bustiers or skirts. If you are looking for a specific piece, also see teddies and corsets and bodices.

Types of fetish lingerie by material

In fetish lingerie the materials range from real leather to latex, and each is worn and cared for differently. Of this list, the page has leather and faux leather (harnesses, dresses, bodysuits and jockstraps), latex (the Exposed gloves) and polyester with elastane; there are no vinyl or PVC garments.

  • Real leather: the material with the most cultural weight in fetishism. It is the most premium, ages well and has its characteristic smell, but it needs conditioning from time to time.
  • Faux leather (PU or leatherette): also called vegan leather. It looks like the real thing, is more affordable, is easy to clean and does not smell of leather.
  • PVC or vinyl: shiny, rigid and waterproof, with the most dominant look. You clean it with a cloth.
  • Wet-look: gives the look of glossy leather without the stiffness and is the most comfortable to wear.
  • Latex: an ultra-shiny second skin, for many the definitive fetish material. You need talc to put it on and to store it, and shine spray to maintain it.
  • Polyester with elastane: stretch fabric that adapts to the body; it is what many of the teddies and sets in this section are made of.

How to choose

  • Material: the product page gives the composition. The leather in the dresses and bodysuits is synthetic or leather-effect, and each harness's page states it; the teddies and sets are mostly polyester with elastane. If you are allergic to latex, avoid it.
  • Size: check the size chart; vinyl and PVC do not stretch and elastane does. There are models in plus sizes.
  • Fastening: front zip, hooks or adjustable straps; with a zip you put it on and take it off faster.
  • Openings: some panties and teddies have an opening at the crotch so you do not have to take them off.

Frequently asked questions

How do you care for erotic leather clothing?

Never in the washing machine. Wipe it with a damp cloth after each use, apply a leather conditioner every 2-3 months and store it hanging on a hanger, because folded leather cracks. Faux leather is easier: a damp cloth and you are done. Polyester and elastane garments are washed as the label says.

Which fetish piece should I buy first?

A body harness. It is versatile, goes on bare skin or over other clothes, does not need an exact size and draws a lot of attention; it is the piece that generates the most photos on social media and gives the most play for the price. Here you will find chest and full-body ones, from Subblime, Leather Body, Fetish Submissive and Leg Avenue, and there are more in BDSM, such as the Maze by Bijoux Indiscrets. If you prefer a one-piece, the Linda teddy by Me-Seduce is an open harness on top.

Do you need to be into BDSM to wear fetish lingerie?

No. Plenty of people wear it just for how it looks, alone or with a partner. If you want to add handcuffs, collars or dominance play, you will find them in BDSM.
