Choosing knickers which are both sexy and comfortable is easier than ever. At Intimate-Secrets.co.uk we have a huge range available with many different styles to choose from. We take a closer look at just what is available and their benifits

 We wear knickers all the time, and now choosing knickers which are both sexy and comfortable is easier than ever.  At Intimate-Secrets.co.uk we have a huge range available with many different styles to choose from, such as French knickers, boy shorts, briefs and thongs.

French Knickers

French knickers are wide-legged pants.  Soft and comfortable, these are usually made of silk or satin.  This very feminine and flattering style is very much in fashion and there are many different types to choose from.  Ivory, pink, and lavender styles with pretty lace panels look very Victorian and alluring, but bolder colours such as red and black are especially sexy for that special night! 

These are a good choice for women with fuller figures who don’t like wearing lingerie which shows too much skin.  They also flatter pregnant women.

Younger women may prefer to wear hipster styles which give a modern look to this ultra-feminine lingerie.

Boy Shorts

Men often find these short, tight short styles of lingerie very sexy and they are also quite comfortable.  Unlike French knickers, these hug the figure and they usually leave some tantalizing flesh showing.  The prettier styles are available in silk and satin, but cotton can look playful and cute.  All-lace boy-shorts are probably the most feminine style.

It can be difficult to hide the ‘panty line’ when wearing French knickers and boy shorts, especially if they are made of silk or satin. A tight skirt worn over the top may not be the best choice; however, some women like to wear them under mini-skirts rather than lingerie that is too brief.

Briefs

Briefs were replaced by the thong as the height of fashion in lingerie for a short time but have recently become fashionable again.  These figure-hugging, bikini style knickers are probably the choice most women make when buying lingerie for everyday use.  Comfortable and easy-to-wear, they’re an especially good option for going to the gym or playing sports.

There are also very sexy styles of briefs available now, which look especially attractive with suspenders and stockings, or pull-up stockings with fancy borders.  Silk, satin, all-lace, and lace-panel designs are all good choices.  Plain colours, especially red and black with matching suspenders and stockings are also very attractive.

‘Deep briefs’, i.e. fuller briefs are very comfortable, can give a smooth line under tight-fitting clothes, and may be a better choice for a woman with a fuller figure if she feels than an ordinary brief is too scanty.

Thongs

These thin strips of material which leave the behind uncovered are probably most men’s favourite pieces of lingerie!  Many women find them uncomfortable, but these tiny items are not only sexy – they don’t show any panty line under tight clothes so they are also very useful.

Diamantes, pearls or sequins look especially sexy on thongs.  A prettier look which is very much in fashion at the moment are thongs with polka dots and bows.
