Teddies

Sexy and stylish one-piece teddies

If you wear a camisole and panties as a two-piece outfit, why not try out a teddy? Lingerie teddies (not the cute stuffed bears) are bodysuit-like undergarments that combine a top and bottom into one sexy piece. They may have two straps, a halter or be strapless, and because they cover the whole torso, they often resemble a one-piece bathing suit. In fact, some manufacturers boast that their teddies can also be worn as swimsuits.

Types of Teddies

A woman who chooses a teddy is likely a confident, sexy woman who is not afraid to show off every curve of her body. Teddies are tight-fitting and come in a variety of materials. For a gal looking for traditional, pretty lingerie, lace teddies have a decidedly feminine look. Lace is often added on to another sheer fabric, such as nylon or silk. Satin teddies are a gorgeous way to look beautiful without revealing too much of what’s underneath. Fabrics like silk and satin have the added advantage of feeling soft and smooth against the skin, and may be comfortable enough to sleep in.

Leather teddies provide another level of appeal for women planning to be a dominatrix for the night. Some come with metal studs, chains or buckles to complete the look. Vinyl teddies are also available, which can mimic the appearance of leather or take the outfit to a high-gloss finish. Both types of teddies are guaranteed to spice things up in the bedroom. If you are really adventurous, pair these teddies with a toy whip or handcuffs for a night of naughty fun.

Both small and large teddies are designed to fit snugly to the body, so ensure when buying one that it will be the correct size. Choosing a teddy with adjustable shoulder straps is a great way to make sure it will fit just right. Getting the right fit is much more important with a teddy than some other lingerie styles, such as negligees and camisoles. The silhouette of the teddy is another consideration. Some teddies are designed with very minimal fabric, offering a plunging neckline, open back and thong-style bottom. Others have cutouts or “peek-a-boo” accents to show off whatever parts of the body you want to reveal.
