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.

Satin 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 exotic and mezmorizing. 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 salacious for several months. The material will appear as vibrant as it did the day you purchased it.

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.
