Plus Size Sexy Intimates

There is no better way to show off your full figure than in plus size sexy intimates. And with so much great lingerie available, there is something flattering out there for you and absolutely no reason to be shy about getting it and flaunting it.

The classic corset is still one of the sexiest pieces of lingerie you can wear.

History of Plus Size Sexy Intimates

While lingerie designed specifically to be sexy is a relatively new thing, really only seen in the last hundred years or so, there is no question that practical lingerie has always been on the sexy side. There are few items sexier than a corset, and this piece remains one of the hottest items in a plus size sexy intimates catalog.

Corsets have been worn for hundreds of years and have varied widely in style, but they have always had the same function – to hold a woman well in place. In the days before exercise, a corset helped you maintain good posture and lifted the bosom, as well as flattening the stomach. In later years, especially, it was also used to shape a woman to suit the fashions of the era. No matter what size you were, a corset could help you fit all the trends. And on your wedding night, stripping down to the corset and stockings was very appealing – as was the slow but steady process of unlacing it!

In the 1930s, the corset ceded popularity to bras and girdles, but these still made for a lot of sexiness at any size. As all smart women know, the key to looking great is a good foundation, and that means a perfectly fitted bra. The right bra lifts and shapes you, lengthening your torso and enhancing your curves. Combined with a girdle and stockings, you are drop-dead sexy.

Shopping for Sexy Lingerie

Of course, lingerie does not have to be fitted to be fabulous. Teddies, negligees, baby dolls – all come in plus sizes and all are sexy. You may have been told, either outright or via the media, that being plus size means you are less sexy and you should not consider wearing fantasy lingerie. It is best to ignore such voices and embrace what feels right for you. Sexy is all a matter of attitude – the clothes just add to the fun.

Hands down, one of the best online shops for plus size sexy intimates is Hips and Curves. They have it all – from the sweet and romantic to the hot and dangerous, and it's all designed specifically for the full-figured woman, so you are guaranteed a great fit.
