Recently surfing the net, looking up new styles on lingerie, business as usual when I come across a story that goes like this:

Singer GWEN STEFANI’s upbringing was so strict, her parents even dictated her shade of underwear until she was 18.

The 33-year-old NO DOUBT beauty, admits her parents PATTI and DENNIS STEFANI raised their daughter under very rigid Catholic rules – underwear color included.

She says, “My parents were very strict. I had to wear white underwear until I finished high school.

“But they weren’t mean-strict. They were human, loving, and gave me morals, and I feel I’m very stable because of it.”

I found this very interesting because I was gathering information to talk about the next color you can get in satin panties.  The most popular, and this should not be a surprise, color of them all.  White panties.  They are by far the most famous.

And everyone looks good in them although I have to admit that Brazilian super model Gisele Bundchen probably wears them the best.  Oh well, she was voted “model of the millennium” by Vogue and was highest-paid model in 2008 and one can definitely see why.

Anyway one has to wonder what are so alluring about white satin panties.  Why are they the most popular?  Well if you remember from a previous article about colors white means innocent, virginal, and pure.  Now I know that we live in 2009 and every woman is supposed to have thrown those titles away along time ago.

The black panty personality is the norm.  Its the standard that every woman want to be.  But in the real world, away from what television says, every woman wants the white panties personality.  That’s what we are taught from an early ago.

Gwen Stefani was made to wear white panties by her parents because quite frankly the color white has always represented a sense of purity. Still does and will for a long time.

The black and the white and pink are all great colors but white will always be the standard.  Why do you think you get married with that color.

I have heard many woman contemplate about changing it up and wearing a different color for their wedding dress but at the end of the day this color is just embedded into our minds as the color for your proper woman.  Any other color would be thought of as deviant behavior.  Don’t believe so…try wearing a black dress and see what people think.

Another thing about white is that because its the lightest color you can get it generally looks fantastic on your body because it does not contrast as much.  Now this does not apply to woman with dark skin.

If you are a black or Indian woman then its the opposite as black panties will blend better with your skin tone.

The reason why I bring this up is because when there is a huge contrast with your underwear vs your skin tone certain features are accentuated.  If you have large thighs and you are wearing red panties then they will be highlighted more.  If you have a large rear and you have on underwear that contrasts a lot then its brought out more.  So for a lot of woman white panties blends in great.

White panties look their best in the high cut which really brings out a woman’s thighs and legs.  There is rarely anything that looks sexier.  Satin panties in this color will give you the look you want and that smooth feel you desire.

Okay so you are convinced that you want a pair of satin panties and you want that color to be white now you have to size it.  This is the key.  I have seen this time and time again.  You see a woman in Victoria’s Secret with something on, it looks really great, you buy it, and it doesn’t look anywhere near the long-legged models you saw on the magazine.  Just because you see something that looks awesome on Giselle, doesn’t mean it will look as awesome on you.  Shop for what’s works for your own body type. Don’t listen to television commercials that advocate “comfort,” which is just a synonym for “unsexy.” If you look hard enough, you’ll be able to find something both comfortable and hot. Jockey is not sexy.

Size your panties correctly.  That is the number one rule.  Too small.  You will have a “muffin top” or “camel toe”.  Too big.  That extra fabric is going to make you look like you are wearing a baby’s diaper, and yes people do recognize.  Don’t get one size knowing you are another.

Every brand sizes their undies differently so you have to be familiar with the brands you like.  You may know you are one size.  But for a certain brand you may have to get your panties in a size higher.  Do it!  Please do not be stubborn and get your underwear in “your size” because you cannot accept that for this particular brand they make them short.

Here is a list of the different types of panties you can get:

A bikini brief is a panty that is cut to cover most of your cheeks but is very narrow on the sides, providing a high, flattering leg opening. A string bikini has only thin straps at the sides.

A boy short provides more coverage than other styles of briefs. It falls at or under the cheek where your tush naturally creases, eliminating most visible panty lines.  Boy shorts can be a great option under pants because they sit close to the body but don’t dig!

A very cheeky brief style, Brazilian briefs flatter your assets by covering very little in the rear. Somewhere between a traditional brief and a thong, the back fabric is v–shaped and lays on top of, not between, the cheeks.

Classic briefs fit close to the body, provide moderate to full rear coverage, and are cut higher on the leg than a boy short (but are not as narrow as a bikini brief). Because they’re so comfortable, briefs are the perfect option any time you’re not worried about panty lines. They’re also great to sleep in – just be sure you have a robe handy!

A g–string is even skimpier than a thong. The front is usually very small and triangular in shape. The back has just a string that goes between the cheeks. Designers often decorate the top back of the g-string with a bow or some other small detail.

French briefs are a flirty, abbreviated relative of the boy short.  The wide sides of a french brief wrap smoothly around the hips to the back, where a very minimal cut exposes the bottom of your cheeks! Usually very low cut, these mini briefs are a hit with guys and girls alike.

“Peekaboo” is a very nice way of saying that a pair of panties has a split front and is, in essence, crotchless.  A pair of  peekaboo panties can resemble a brief, thong, or even boy shorts. Though they may seem impractical, peekaboo underwear are a big hit with men (and usually a big surprise for them, too)!

A sexy, loose short that grazes the body.  Tap pants are often made from very delicate, feminine fabrics like lace and silk. Perfect for wearing under a swingy skirt or dress, tap pants will make your legs look amazing when worn with a classic pair of high heels.

Thongs look like most other panties from the front but have a thin piece of fabric at the back that lies between the cheeks. Wearing a thong is not about coverage, it’s about preventing panty lines while looking and feeling sexy! A thong that fits properly will be comfortable enough for all day wear.

Some woman look great in one style and not the next.  Know what your body shape is and shop accordingly.

So are you a “good girl”.  I say that sarcastically.  Deep down we all want to be.  Thats why white is the number one seller.  Most woman will fall into the white panties personality.  Its what our moms taught us to be.  These panties allow you to be the girl next door, the girl a man wants to marry, and also has a power to them that are so sexy its really hard to define.

I may be biased but I cannot imagine while satin panties do not seem to be as popular as they used to.  As much as five years ago it was easy to find a pair of sexy satin panties but now it seems that it is getting harder and harder to do so.  What gives?!

As stated in an earlier post “Do You Like Wearing Satin Panties” and a post called satin panties advice this type of woman’s underwear is extremely comfortable.  How the rumor started that it was not I have no idea.

What I do know is that woman who actually wear them usually love them.  The feel of satin is sensational.  The feel of the material is sleek, smooth, and very sexy.  Its wonderful.  The great thing about satin lingerie is that is makes you feel like you are almost bare or naked even though you are in fact wearing clothing.

Lace panties, which have seemed to replaced satin underwear’s popularity in the last several years,  do come close but still doesn’t give you the same effect.

Guys love satin underwear.    And I am not talking about men who like to wear satin.  I’m talking about men who like to see their wife or girlfriend wearing satin panties.  Ask any man and he will tell you what he thinks.  Its their favorite.  Its extremely visually appealing to the senses. 

Satin panties defines the curves of woman really well giving woman a very seductive look.  If you are a woman who is naturally curvy, or full figured, satin underwear will accentuate your features.  They really will shape you quite nicely as you can see from the post about Elle McPherson’s Intimates.

I cannot pinpoint the exact year they started to fade out.  Many woman still love them.  Ask around.  I do hear a lot of negative opinions about this type of underwear..  I have heard some woman say that they developed a rash while wearing satin panties.

That can be true.  Some woman will be allergic to satin material.  But I can tell you that there will be a very small percentage of woman that are so.  Some people have also stated that satin underwear crumples easily.  I say that satin lingerie does not even come close to crumpling as easy as lace does.

Lace panties get ruined in the wash and tears or develops holes very easy.  And here is some inside information.  Jeans slides over satin panties way better than lace underwear.

Maybe they will come back in style soon.  Give it a couple years.  Satin panties never went out of style as you could say they are just harder to get.

Look in catalogues or websites and you will have to look very hard to find them.  And when you do there will not be a huge variety.  They are getting harder and harder to find.  In the past it was very easy to find string satin panties in bikini cut everywhere.  And you could find them in every color.

I remember seeing MTV breakout in 2003  and I saw 2/4 girls wearing satin.  Now it might be more like 1/5 girls wearing that type of panty.

So here is out advice.  You can still find some great satin panties you just have to look a little harder than before.  They are not carried much in stores.  You are going to have to skip the department stores or regular woman’s clothing stores if you want to find a good variety in the satin panty department.

You are going to find the best selection at places or online stores that cater to sexy and seductive underwear.  Specialty shops are going to be your best bet.  They have some great stuff and are going to have a lot of items, likes bras, that do with them.

Specialty shops, whether they are actual stores or online, will have exactly what you are looking for like bridal satin lingerie. One could play devil’s advocate and say that there is more selection than ever before if you include the internet.

While you cannot find a hige selection of satin panties in mainstream places you can however find tons of options on the “unbeaten path.”  Look around and I am sure you can find what your heart disires.
