Leather Lingerie Care

womensecrets — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 16:30:26 +0000

You’ve bought some nice leather lingerie, so now how do you care for it? Leather, being skin, needs to have proper care just as your own skin does. By taking some simple steps, your leather lingerie should last for many years to come.

The first step in caring for your leather lingerie is proper handling and storage. Always store leather in a temperature stable environment, neither too hot or cold, as this will affect the life of the leather by drying out the oils in the hide. Avoid exposing your leather garments to high heat or direct sunlight for long periods of time for the reasons just mentioned. Also, do not store your leather lingerie in high humidity, damp areas or plastic bags, as the build-up of moisture can cause mildew (mold) to form, which is difficult to clean. Either hang leather garments on wooden or padded hangers or carefully fold them to avoid creases and wrinkles. Perfumes or deodorants should be applied and allowed to dry before putting on your leather lingerie to minimize alcohol and other chemicals contact with the leather and to help avoid staining. Perspiration or any perfume and/or deodorant should be wiped off as soon as possible with a damp sponge, then the leather should be allowed to dry naturally.

Erotic Lingerie Shopping Hints & Tips

womensecrets — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 15:28:36 +0000

Shopping for erotic lingerie is something many women do. Most women have different reasons for shopping for it, of course. Some like the pleasure and tantalizing sense of sexuality it can bring, others want to spice up their relationships, and others simply like how erotic lingerie feels on the skin. Purchasing erotic lingerie is sadly something most women do alone, however, as few women actually take their partners with them on this most sensual of retail journeys.

Whether going to a store or looking at lingerie online, shopping for erotic lingerie as a couple adds excitement long before you wear the garment in the bedroom. Think of all the fun you two could have picking out intimate apparel together. As a couple, you’ll strengthen your bond as you discover each other’s fantasies and bring your relationship to a whole new level.

If you’ve never gone shopping together in an erotic lingerie store, your partner might be awkward at first. The only rule is to have an open mind. Share with each other what styles you like or don’t like. If your mate seems attracted to an outfit you never thought you’d picture yourself in, try it on anyway. Eventually, you’ll reach a middle ground between the erotic lingerie you like, what he likes – and you might surprise yourself in the process.

womensecrets — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 08:32:11 +0000

When it comes to buying lingerie most men just don’t have a clue. Sorry guys buy that’s just the way it is. They see those hot lingerie models parading on the catwalk wearing some see though number with a designer label sewn onto it and think wow my girl would look good in that. Big mistake! Believe it or not most women actually find that kind of stuff cheap looking and totally impractical. The same can be said for the lingerie you see advertised in those glossy men’s magazines and draped over some stick insect of a model who looks as though she could do with a good hot meal inside her.

Every woman loves pretty lingerie and nightwear and to some extent it makes her feel special. Epecially when it comes as a well thought out gift from someone who cares about them. The key to lingerie buying success is finding out what she would like rather than what you think she would look great in. Sounds real simple because it is. To get a clue all you need do is pay a secret visit to her lingerie drawers for a quick rummage around. Take a good look at all those silky smooth satin pieces of feminine nothingness because they are a blatant clue to her personal lingerie tastes. Whilst your in there check out those all important labels to get an idea of the size and you are already on your way to her heart.

A Man’s Guide To The Embarrassment Of Buying Lingerie

womensecrets — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 08:25:23 +0000

Lets face it, we men are obsessed with women’s bodies and yet if I needed to tell someone the size of her breasts the best I could probably muster would be “just about right” and if she were to ask me right now what her dress size was I would probably mutter that it didn’t make her bum look big at all. This is in part due to my ever-present attempt to gain brownie points and not spend the night sleeping in the kitchen with the dog, but it is in one big part due to my ignorance. Ask her what size my waist is and she could tell you without a second’s hesitation. It really isn’t that difficult to find out this information either and the list of instructions on how to find out would consist solely of:

1 – Open cupboard door.
2 – Remove appropriate garment.
3 – Check label and make mental note of size.

10 Reasons Every Woman Should Own Lingerie

womensecrets — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 07:57:36 +0000

Have you ever wondered why some women are so obsessed with spending large amounts of money on items that aren’t seen by anyone else (unless you’re a lingerie model) other than your sweet love? The problem with that thinking runs deeper than you perhaps realize. That line of thinking says lingerie is for someone else. Not so anymore it’s time to become a bit self absorbed and do something for yourself for a change.

If you don’t currently own any lingerie at all, here are 10 good reasons you must go out today and purchase some. If you have already started a collection, these are great reasons to add to that collection.

1. It creates the quintessential feminine feeling! What can be more feminine than really beautiful and sexy undergarments? Okay, maybe fake eyelashes? Hey why not do both.

2. Wearing lingerie says you are self confidence. What we wear says a lot about who we are. Lingerie, unlike shoes, dresses, and handbags is not worn as outwardly for the world to see. So you may ask why bother when I can buy plain garments that serve the same purpose. Only you can answer that question. Aimee Mullins once commented that confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can have. It’s much sexier than any body part. What we wear is often a direct reflection of who we are and how we feel about ourselves. Don’t kid yourself you are beautiful on the inside and out. So even if no one ever sees it, wear it with enjoyment knowing you are a beautiful woman.

3. If makes you look and feel sexy. I don’t know one woman in the entire world that could honestly say wearing undergarments that are lacy and soft doesn’t make her feel better about herself then wearing garments that are old, scratchy worn, plain, and falling apart. As humans, we are driven so much by our emotions so if wearing a little lingerie can truly make you feel better on the inside and out wouldn’t it be worth it? I think it might make our days go a little bit better.

Why The Baby Doll Lingerie Is Making A Huge Comeback

womensecrets — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 13:15:09 +0000

Is there anyone who doesn’t love the baby doll style of lingerie? I think not. Not only do the women who wear them absolutely adore the feel and look of them but they drive any red blooded man wild as well. I think it is the combination of a curvy woman’s body with the look of innocence that comes with the baby doll nightie. The design of this sexy nighttime apparel features support at the top with non-conforming loose and flowing fabric at the bottom. The baby doll style of lingerie has been around for close to 50 years now and a form of it was actually worn as beachwear during the 50s and 60s.

The design of this lingerie has evolved today into a very short nightie with more support at the top and a bottom that is even looser with many coming with matching thongs or panties. There is no shortage of colors as you can find these in a rainbow of colors as well as with many different fabrics and styles. You can find fabrics such as satin, silk, chiffon, or even sheer materials.

For most women the whole idea of buying lingerie is to get items that make them feel sexy and the baby doll nightie is one sure way to do it. If you want your man to view you as sexy then of course you need to feel sexy first for yourself. The colors you choose will depend on your build as well as your skin and hair color. Though many of the baby doll style nighties will come with panties you may want to pick up a couple of other styles to go along with the lingerie such as maybe a pair of the new boy cut underwear that you can put over a g-string to give your significant other another surprise!

The exact style of baby doll that you may choose will depend upon how conservative or open you are. Some women like theirs to be more revealing with a lot of sheer see through fabric and very little extras while other women may prefer to be more covered up with a lot of lace and ruffles. Some of the styles of this lingerie will feature sleeves while others will have only spaghetti straps. Of course the environment you are going to wear the outfit in will greatly dictate the type buy. If you will be wearing it out in the open without a robe over it around children then you will quite obviously not want a style that bears all.

10 Reasons Every Woman Should Own Lingerie

womensecrets — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 15:28:01 +0000

Have you ever wondered why some women are so obsessed with spending large amounts of money on items that aren’t seen by anyone else (unless you’re a lingerie model) other than your sweet love? The problem with that thinking runs deeper than you perhaps realize. That line of thinking says lingerie is for someone else. Not so anymore, it’s time to become a bit self absorbed and do something for yourself for a change.

1. It creates the quintessential feminine feeling! What can be more feminine than really beautiful and sexy undergarments? Okay, maybe fake eyelashes hey why not do both.

4. It sets the mood for intimacy. Nothing says I love you and am attracted to you more then donning sexy lingerie. Men are very visual by nature so seeing their love in a beautiful garment can do wonders for the intimate life. Which leads me to the number 5 reason.

5. It can increase your overall emotional and physical health, increase your longevity, increase sexual satisfaction, increase income and wealth. Okay, this one may be a bit of a stretch but let me explain. As mentioned in reason number 4, men are visual and wearing lingerie (which is a visual turn-on) can lead to increased intimacy. One could rationally justify that increase intimacy leads to increase martial satisfaction and longevity, right? And long, happy marriages are key to the accuracy of this reason. According to Dr. Gary Chapman, research reveals that married people have overall better emotional and physical health, live longer lives, experience greater sexual satisfaction, have greater incomes, and consequently more accumulated wealth. Therefore, the equation: Lingerie+Greater Intimacy=Happier Marriage which in turn equals all the reasons cited to buy lingerie! (that is my kind of math)

6. If for no other reason, so he’ll stop bugging you to wear it. We have already established that men are visual and like lingerie. If you can’t go with any other reason listed, do this one because you love him so much and want to make him happy. (I know I said it would be all about us, but they are great men so we can give them at lease 1 of the 10)

7. It’s a much sexier splurge than shoes or handbags. Don’t get me wrong I love shoes and handbags as much as the next girl but there isn’t enough lace and fancy material in the world to dress up a pair of shoes or handbag that will every compare with lingerie when it comes to sexiness.

8. It can change the shape of your body. These days, there are so many pieces that can lift, tuck, separate, conceal, smash, etc that you can minimize your flaws and accentuate your assets. Buying styles that are right for your body type can do wonders for how you look and ultimately feel in the lingerie.

9. It makes clothes look and feel better. How many times have you seen the poor girl with panty lines? Or how about visual lumps through the clothing? Correct fitting lingerie styles can eliminate many of these problems. Plus they come in some of the most amazing fabrics that feel so luxurious next to the body.

10. Because you deserve it! If I have yet to convince you, then go buy lingerie because you are an awesome person and deserve a treat for all you do for everyone else.

As a woman, it’s our right to look and feel beautiful. Unfortunately, the world doesn’t often help our cause so we have to take matters into our own hands and solidify ourselves as self-confident, secure, beautiful women. Putting on your favorite lingerie is a great start to making that happen.
