Leather Panties

About Leather Panties

Leather panties are quite popular among those who prefer “bad girl” lingerie. Black leather accented with silver chains, zippers. or studs and fishnet detailing, provides a tough and rebellious biker-chick look. However, leather can also be combined with lace or ribbon for a slightly less intimidating appearance.

You’ll need confidence to wear these panties, since they commonly come in skimpy thong or G-string styles. Yet, an increasing number of manufacturers are creating slightly more modest bikini and boy short styles.

Leather panties can be worn alone or as part of a complete ensemble that includes leather bras, garters, corsets, or other lingerie items. Though, leather panties are sexy panties no matter what!

Caring for Your Leather

There’s nothing sexier than a pair of leather panties, especially when they’re paired with a matching bra and provocative leather boots.

Caring for lingerie made from leather requires a slightly different approach than maintaining other types of undergarments. The manufacturer’s instructions are often sufficient, but may not provide enough information. Try these tips:

• Leather lingerie is delicate and should be washed by hand whenever possible.
• Use a leather conditioner to keep the fabric soft and supple.
• Leather garments should be allowed to dry naturally. Extreme heat or cold can damage the fabric.
• According to the American Leather Association, hems in leather apparel can be fixed with a small amount of rubber cement.
• You can apply a thin coat of clear nail polish to zippers, eyelets, chains, and other metal parts of the garment to protect them from tarnishing.
• Avoid getting perfume, body lotion, or body oil near your leather lingerie. The residue from these products can damage the leather.
• Never store leather in a plastic garment bag. Opt for cloth storage bags to allow the fabric to breathe.
• Leather can become moldy when stored in a damp place for a prolonged period of time. Once this happens, your garment will need professional care.
• Leather toys and lingerie can be disinfected using a solution of 70% isopropyl rubbing alcohol.
