I was talking with a woman and she was asking me the benefits between lace and satin panties.  I found the conversation to be very interesting because she had no idea that I write about this for living and that I have found this to actually be a very interesting topic of conversation.

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  It has recently been replaced by lace.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.
