Panties

When shopping for white satin panties or erotic lingerie, look for more than pure functionality

Buying new white satin panties for that special evening might prove to be more of an issue than you know.

Decrease the Crease

When shopping for sexy panties and erotic lingerie, consider panty lines and comfort.

It's best to avoid the former while maintaining the latter. Hanes Her Way Invisible Panties is a collection of thongs, hipsters, bikinis, hi-cuts, and briefs that are specially constructed to lay flat against the skin thus diminishing those telltale outlines showing in your outer garments.

Remember, see-through doesn't necessarily mean invisible. Unsightly panty lines are the last thing you want when going out for a night with that new, or not-so-new, someone.

Avoid Riding Up

Nothing distracts more from a pleasurable evening than having your white satin panties constantly "riding up". Whether sheer, silk or cotton, if your sexy panties ride up, it can make your evening uncomfortable at the very least or, worst case scenario, a complete bomb.

In order to look and, more especially, feel your best, it's wise to find the right size underwear that conforms to your contours. There are numerous sizing charts available online that can assist you in finding the right size, type, and shape for full figure ladies, plus size, and more.

Sexy Panties come in many styles such as V-strings, thongs, bikinis, tangas, and boyshorts, sometimes called boylegs. Tangas are the halfway point between g-string bikini briefs and thongs. They have a wider band across the hip, and a fuller back, without being a full-back bikini.

Other styles include briefs that can be hi-cut, low rise, flare leg, and hi-leg. Seamless or sheer panties are full backed and come in firm control, or shapewear garments.

All erotic lingerie styles come in a variety of materials:

Acetate Spandex Cotton Linen Silk Nylon Lycra Lace Lace-Nylon Cotton-Spandex Cotton-Lycra

Care & Cleaning

Care should be taken when washing erotic lingerie because of its delicate nature. Of all the materials listed above, cotton is the most resilient. Cotton is easily laundered at all temperatures and can even be ironed with a hot iron.

Some linens can be washed, while others cannot. In most cases, the label should include washing instructions. Pre-washed silk is washable of course, but check the label first for instructions.

Acetate needs to be dry-cleaned, whereas acrylic garments might be either washed or dry-cleaned. Spandex, elasticized material, can be hand or machine washed, but only in warm water.

For those male shoppers who are buying intimate apparel for their loved ones, it's important to note that any panties you do purchase should have a cotton lining in the crotch. This is purely for hygenic reasons, as cotton breathes more than many of the other types of materials listed above.
