Buying Satin Panties
From LoveToKnow Lingerie
Buying satin panties is so easy! Not only are there so many styles and "moods" to choose, but you can find them almost anywhere. If you’ve never tried on a pair, now is the time to go out and choose a few of your favorites. Wash them with care and then slip them on to see what you've been missing—the feminine styles, the seductive feel of the silky material, and the sheen that can make your skin look like it's glowing when you choose just the right color.
Why Consider Buying Satin Panties?
So why go on the pursuit for a pair or two of satin panties? What do they have that your old faithful cotton numbers don't have? Or your leather lingerie? While they may not be the best for working out in (cotton absorbs more moisture), nor will they be as intimidating in the bedroom as leather, satin panties have their place in a boudoir stash. They're somewhere between the ultra-conservative white cotton panties many women own and the often outrageous black leather pieces that fewer have . So aside from their happy medium status, what else could make you want to try a pair of satin panties?
- The feel against your skin—smooth, silky, and delicious
- The price: cheaper than leather, roughly the same price as their cotton sisters
- The sheen that reflects light and gives you an almost soft-focus appearance in some lighting
- If you don't have any in your wardrobe already, satin panties can make your wardrobe interesting again, especially if part of a matching set
What to Look For
A Matching Set: Why stop at buying satin panties when you can take the leap into a satin bra, a satin nightie, or even a matching garter belt with thigh highs in a complementary color? You'll look alive and glowing wrapped in so much glossy fabric. You'll feel sexy and your lover won't be able to take their eyes off of you.
Fabric: Sometimes you'll see a set of panties labeled as "satin," but more often than not, if you're searching online by keyword, "satin" won't bring up what you want. In stores, you won't usually see satin on the label, either. Just look for panties in any style that have a slight sheen on the outside of the fabric and a duller finish on the inside. A common combination is nylon/Lycra.
Style: You can get any style you want!
Find Them Here
When you decide you're interested in buying satin panties, rejoice because you can find them almost anywhere. While you can sometimes find a much wider variety of satin panties online, if you're the "must have it right now" type, you can just run out to any store that carries lingerie and find yourself a pair.
- The Satin Panties Store at Amazon.com has quite a few styles. If you're craving a robe in matching, shimmering color, you might just stumble across one of those, too. You can be as naughty or nice as you'd like with this selection.
- Victoria's Secret never fails, especially when it comes to bras and panties. Be sure to check out their smooth Second Skin Satin® line for everyday styles and colors (white, ivory, buff, black, and whisper pink). If you catch them during their semi-annual sale, you may see them as low as 3/$25.
- Frederick's of Hollywood has satin panties that stand alone and those that are part of a complete lingerie outfit. You can find racy, crotchless styles here, if you'd like, or just seek out the tamer styles in interesting colors.
- Your favorite department store. Check Macy's, Nordstrom, JC Penney, or even Target or Wal-mart.
The Bottom Line
Purchasing satin panties for the first time is as easy as purchasing them the second, third, or fiftieth time. They're available in all the styles you could hope for and the color/design selection is the perfect middle ground for those who are sick of neutral-toned cotton panties but don't want to venture into the world of leather. They're girly, flirty, practical and versatile—what a great combination for panties!
