Red Vinyl Camisole

About Vinyl Lingerie

While vinyl may not be everyone's first choice in standard lingerie, it certainly has its place in a woman's "flirty and fun bedroom ensembles" category. For those who have never worn vinyl next to the skin, the first question that comes to mind may be whether the fabric is comfortable. Much of contemporary vinyl is supple and contains enough stretch that it is comfortable.

Vinyl also has the advantage of providing a smooth and sleek appearance, providing some flaw coverage. Most vinyl lingerie is, however, designed to be form-fitting, so order your correct size to avoid baggy bustiers and billowy boy shorts.

Red Vinyl Camisoles: The Ultimate in Appeal

Red has long been a color highly associated with sex appeal--there is something about red that exudes confidence and passion. Coupled with the striking shine of vinyl, red has never been better in terms of sex appeal. In addition, a red vinyl camisole offers an advantage in creating a contrast to the traditional delicateness associated with the female gender. While red is still quite feminine, a red vinyl top also illustrates a strength and boldness that differs from the femininity of a white lace teddy.

Black is the most prevalent color in vinyl camisoles and lingerie, but for the determined vinyl lingerie shopper, you can find red, pink, and red and black styles.

Caring for Vinyl Lingerie

Vinyl lingerie is easy to take care of with a little thought. Most garments can be wiped cleaned or hand-washed with a mild detergent and warm water. Hang garments to dry--never put them in a clothes dryer. Make sure to hang vinyl pieces away from each other when drying to avoid sticking.

Store vinyl lingerie items separately as well; folding and hanging items too closely together can also cause them to stick together. Avoid storing garments in areas that are subject to extreme temperatures--these fluctuations or cold temps can cause cracking.
