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  It has recently been replaced by lace.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.

But I have to admit that one of my favorite places to shop is Victoria’s Secret.  They do not have close to the line-up they did years ago when it comes to satin apparel but what they do have is hot and very well made (what isn’t that they produce?).

Victoria’s Secret has some incredible sexy stretchy satin panties.  They carry just such a feminine look to them that is just hard to duplicate.  Very few other lingerie companies come close.

I was looking at some of their items they have showcased for the Spring and was impressed.  They always have a corresponding satin bra with every type of pantie they sell.

So lets talk about some of the items they have…

They have satin panties that come in the thong style, hiphugger, v-string, high-leg brief, and the bikini cut.  You can get them in all different sizes from S to XL.  You can purchase one pantie for $14 or get three for $25.  I guess it goes without saying whats a better deal.  But the cut is not completely what makes these particular showcased satin panties look amazing.

Its the color line-up they have.  The colors that they have available look really and I mean really fantastic.  The colors the picked besides the black are really light and goes extremely well with the “spring look.”

These are the following colors you can choose from: Ivory, White, Black, Buff, Whisper Pink, Bisque, Berry, and Bouquet.  All the colors look good but the “bouquet” satin panty and bra look amazing especially for the Spring.  Its a mix of flowers, leaves, and comes with a hint of white that just screams summer is over.  A must see!

They also have a line-up of embroidered satin lingerie.  They look spectacular as always.  They give woman such a smooth and sexy look its unbelievable.  These come in other colors.  They include ivory, white, black, buff, whisper pink, coast blue, and bisque.  The bisque which is a fancy way of saying dark pink look the best in my opinion.  Another must see.  Speaking of pink panties Victoria Secret is also having a spring sale on all pink panties.  The deal is any 5/$25.  Not bad.  You can get a full set of sexy lingerie for a bargain.

One of the main pros about their lingerie is that it really is high quality material and their satin is very stretchy.  They have a very sleek feel to them and will give you an extra boost of confidence in your daily activity just knowing that you have a pair on.

Winter is finally over.  Spring is here.  Update your wardrobe with some new satin panties that will jumpstart the season off the right way.  Cheers!
