What are the benefits of satin panties? Hum, let me count the ways.

Smooth, silky and lustrous – words to describe satin. For centuries, it has provided its wearers with a sense of richness and sensuality.

This type of weave derived from a silk fabric, has a long history of use. For centuries, it has been the provenance of the idle rich, royalty and the highest levels of the church leaders.

Today, it still maintains its link to the sensation of wealth and indulgence, but satin has gone underground. Rather than priestly or royal robes, there are satin panties, satin bras and all types of satin lingerie.

Satan underwear of all types looks amazingly smooth. It ripples to the touch, falling through the fingers. It is for this reason satin lingerie is extremely popular.

The feel of satin bras and satin panties against the skin is also erotic and exotic. Yet, satin lingerie is more than just a pretty fabric. It can be beneficial. This starts with your pocketbook.

The primary benefit of satin is its cost. While silk remains the ultimate natural smooth product for lingerie, the constructed blend that is satin comes a close second. Since satin does contain silk, it retains that soft, feminine look. Yet, satin underwear and satin bras retain an expensive look.

Satin also has that “cool” sensation when it touches your skin. It caresses the skin, relaxing the body. This is another benefit derived from wearing satin lingerie. You look expensive and feel contained and relaxed beneath the surface. Moreover, sating underwear is also beneficial in another department – maintenance.

Although artificial, satin has the benefit of being easier to care for than many natural fibers. You can machine wash and dry it with greater ease than delicate silk. You will need to follow the instructions of the manufacturer. Some satins can only be hand-washed and dried, others are tougher and can be placed in delicate or gently cycles in machines and then tumbled coolly dry.

Nevertheless, satin does retain its color and shape for longer. Satin does not fade as quickly or stretch as soon as many other fabrics. Satin panties will continue to ensure you feel sexy for several months. The material will appear as vibrant as it did the day you purchased it.

Woman love to wear it and men love to feel it.  This is a very silky, shiny, and delicate fabric that comes in rich shades complementing every skin tone imaginable.

Its very stretchy and actually contours itself a woman’s body type.

What is great about satin panties is that they can be two “ideas” at once.  They convey a feeling of “innocence” while at the same time making a person feel incredibility sexy/ attractive.

Another great selling point is that satin panties prevent you from getting the annoying and dreaded panty line.  If you are a woman who likes to wear dress slacks to work this is especially important.

Like other type of woman’s panties you can buy them in an assortment of styles.

The four main ones are hiphugger, v-string, thong, and plain brief.

The main colors satin underwear comes in is white, black, red, and pink.  As stated in another post different personality types will choose different colors of underwear.

There is however one main negative that should be discussed.  The material that satin panties are made from make it hard for the skin they cover to breath.

Skin needs air and sometimes this is restricted with this type of underwear.  It has led to skin irritation and yeast infections for woman who are prone to them.

If have had these problems in the past you want to consider not wearing satin every single day and make it a point to switch to cotton from time to time.

Now get this. Go to any actual store and you will probably not see an impressive selection of satin undergarments. I can promise you that much.

But check them out online and you will be utterly shocked. I guess there is not anything this particular company cannot get once they put their mind to it.

For $8.50 you can get a three pack of Hanes Stretch Satin Hi Cut Panties. Checked and they only come in black.

They also carry hi-cut microfiber satin underwear by a brand called Just My Size.  These particular garments come in white or purple (okay maybe dark pink).  They come in a two pack and are less than nine bucks as well.

To be honest with you I am not a huge fan of this company.  My feelings border on hate for them for two very good reasons.

First, Sam Walton’s brain child has put hundreds of local businesses under because of their utterly massive buying power that nobody else can even come close to competing with.

Second, Wal Mart is the main gateway of cheap and worthless Chinesse goods into our country.  And some people wonder why nothing is made here anymore.  Hum?  How can your company compete when you have to  pay yoursworkers at least minimum wage and your competition can pay its workers barely enough to purchase a bowl of rice after a twelve hour workday?  C’est impossible.

Anyway, I digress. Those are my feelings but satin panties are just too hard to find these days not to have mentioned it and those prices are fabulous.  I would order them online if I was you because like I said I have not seen these in any of their stores.  Maybe I went to the wrong one.

If you know everything about lingerie you will know that satin panties used to be very “in” you could say.  As much as six years ago they were very in style especially in more trendier places around the world.  It has recently been replaced by lace.  Its dominates every specialty lingerie magazine or store you can think of.  

They have a similar look to the untrained eye but are quite different. And, I must say that while I am not in any way opposed to lace or silk panties I thought it prudent to give you the differences between both of them.  Know in advance that I do have a preference for satin underwear otherwise I never would have started a blog titled “satin panties” as it just would have been “panties” or “lingerie blog” or something of that sort. 

So this is coming from a person with a middle to heavy bias.

Comfort

Okay I will start with the cons with lace panties.  One of the drawbacks that I have found this that they can itch and be scratchy.  Its not unbearable but it can happen and the extent will depend of the quality of pantie you purchase.

I have found that satin and silk panties do not have this issue of itchiness.  Playing the devils advocate here I have found that satin can get very hot and uncomfortable because very little to no air can flow through and allow the skin to breath like lace panties can.  This is one of the main problems I do have with satin in being they do make it harder for your skin to breathe and especially around your crotch area and if your skin cannot breathe then your are more liable to get yeast infections or the like.  That’s why like I stated on a previous post you do not want to wear them everyday.

Jeans will also slide over satin underwear way more easily than lace panties will.  If you are a person that wears tight clothes this can be a huge buying point.  There is nothing more uncomfortable that trying to slide over some tight jeans, and you know if you are one of the types who wear them, over lace or cotton panties that start to crinkle up.

Feel

Oh course satin feels extremely silky smooth against your skin.  Lace does too but not to the extent that satin does.  When you wear satin panties you can get turned on just by walking around they are so smooth.  That “slippery” feel of them is just amazing.  Most woman who buy them just absolutely enjoy the low cut, almost bare, sensation that satin panties bring.  Lace panties feel nice, are a little lighter, breath better, but do not have that extreme bare feeling like the latter.

The Look

Wow this is a hard one.  They both can look extremely fantastic and sexy.  As far as romance goes I would have to give the nod to satin lingerie.  They can just make your body look extremely hot.  They is nothing that men like to feel or look at more than their girl in satin panties.  Nothing else can come close.  They will get more excited with them on you verses when you actually do take them off!

I will say this.  You are going to have a lot more options when it comes to lace underwear.  It is going to beat satin by 1-5.  There are a lot of really nice lace shorts that you can get many places online.  Lace panties do really look good on women with tiny rear ends as the “stretch” factor does not do them any favors.

In addition there are several people who state that satin garments looks a little more tacky more “trashy” but that is all depended the brand and what you are wearing them with.  This is a common myth that I find just to be very untrue.

Keep in mind that satin panties are the best underwear, besides wearing nothing, for avoiding pantie lines.  They will not show beneath your pants or skirt.  Lace can have the tendency to bunch up.

So which is better?  I think that by now you know what my verdict would be.  That was most likely apparent in the title.  A huge pro in the way of lace is choices and availability.  You are not going to have any problem finding a variety of them.  Not at all.  They will come in different sizes and cuts.  Satin panties are going to be a little harder to find whether it be for you or you are buying a lingerie gift for someone.

Its so much more sexy now to check the mail, thanks to two lovely Vancouver ladies Lori Sholzberg and Natalie Grunberg, the brains behind Panty by Post. Think lacy and racy undies instead of that magazine subscription.

The idea was born after Grunberg spent a summer abroad in France. French women are always so beautiful and put together. She wondered what their fashion secret was.

Their secret, she decided, must be their panties.

“We had this idea that if we had X-ray vision glasses we would see every French woman would be wearing beautiful lingerie,” Sholzberg said in a phone interview.

The girls wanted their product to be a fun and playful way for women to unleash their inner sex kitten. For inspiration, they went straight to the source—their own panty drawers.

“When we looked through our favourites, we realized that we wanted something fun, durable, sexy, and economical, and each time the tag was from Blush Lingerie,” said Sholzberg.

They decided to go with the Montreal-based boutique as their supplier of flirty vintage-chic without the usual hefty price tag of Parisian designers.

Whether it’s a one-time surprise or a year’s worth of monthly panties you want, the Panty by Post process is easy to master. Select from an array of different cuts and colors, and these two woman do the rest.

While it may seem strange to let complete strangers pick out your dedicates, the website encourages customers to e-mail any requests or panty preferences they may have.   They have every material from satin to lace and every cut from thong to bikini.

With each new order, Sholzberg and Grunberg come to know their clients, if only through their undergarments.

“We are developing relationships with our clients, and now when I go to pick out a panty, I take the time to find the perfect ones,” Sholzberg said.

This new venture is just the beginning for these two ambitious ladies, who have plans to expand their line with some of their own panty designs.

“We want to have a designer come in and incorporate our design ideas,” Sholzberg explained. “We’ve learned so much already that we think it’s the next step.”

So whether it’s a treat for just you or a thoughtful gift for someone else, Panty by Post has your rear covered.

Sheen Bikini

I want to bring your attention to one of Elle MacPherson Intimates newest edition in their panties department. This company makes a lot of great things from thongs to boy shorts but in keeping with our theme we are going to only talk about their new Sheen Bikini they have introduced.

Its called the Elle MacPherson Intimates Sheen Bikini (style #E15-598).

These satin panties are fabulous!  I am talking the absolute full package.  Extremely comfortable to wear yet mind blowing sexy. I feel sorry for whoever sees you in these.  Not only won’t they be able to take their eyes off you but they will be totally under your control.

Here are some features:

• The material is satin and it stretches very well
• Bikini cut
• Amazing swirl design imprinted with bronze sequins on a sheer mesh front
• Double String Sides
• Cotton panel
• Low, 5 inch rise

If you want Elle MacPherson Intimates always has a matching bra that comes with it.  You may purchase them separate or in a set.

Its funny but for some odd reason these panties remind me of the chastity belt that Amy Yesbeck was wearing in Robin Hood Men in Tights.

These satin panties usually cost around $30 a piece but if you do not mind spoiling yourself, or the love of your life, I would definitely recommend them.

Ladies, the answer is satin panties.  There is no better way to turn him on then wearing that little sexy yet innocent skimpy white underwear.

The allure of them can blow any man’s mind.

They feel great as well.  They slide right across your body making you feel like the kind of woman no  cotton underwear ever can.

Satin almost always is shiny and comes in rich yet very elegant shades to complement anyone regardless of their skin tone.  Wear them to bed and watch your man’s eye roll to the back of his head.  Its at the glimpse of them that he finally realizes sports, work, or his ice cold beer in the fridge is no longer important.

Not saying that this wouldn’t happen, girls, if you weren’t wearing them but lets say sometimes men can be a little preoccupied with how many points “so and so” scored on television rather than you.

If you really wanted to mix things up and your guy has been especially “nice,” you might want to add thigh highs and a matching flowing white night gown to the ensemble.  But again, save that in your back pocket for something special.  You may want to make him work hard for that.

One of the great things about satin panties is the extra confidence they can give you.  You may think about just wearing them on an ordinary day to feel a little bit sexier.  Tuesday seems to come to mind.  Nothing exciting rarely happens that day.  Break the monotony.

They can come in briefs, thongs, v-strings and you do not have to worry about getting those visible panty lines (VPLs).

Okay enough with the benefits, now lets talk about some negatives with satin panties. With them, as opposed to regular cotton ones, the skin has a more difficult time breathing. This may lead to irritation of the skin underneath the material–not attractive or comfy. If you like these types of panties so much you want to wear them daily, at least try to give yourself a break from time to time with a cotton pair.  Your pores will  thank you.

You can buy them at almost any department store if you want to make a trip to the mall.

Quite frankly, its easier and more convenient just to buy them over the net.  You can search for satin panties on any search engine especially Google.  It will however be hard to find what you are looking for if you don’t already have some type of panty style or brand already picked out in your mind.  Make a plan and then go for it.
