Material: the skin needs to breathe
Lace, microfibre and synthetics with elastane give stretch. A cotton lining in the gusset is the technically better choice for longer wear.
Buyer's guide
A guide to materials, cuts and sizes of intimate lingerie
With intimate apparel, material, cut and confidence are what matter. This guide is advice, not a rule.
Sizes vary between brands
Do not assume your size, check the measurements provided in the description. Italian and Polish brands (Livco Corsetti, Anais) typically have a more 'fitted' cut than American ones.
How to wash
Hand-wash in warm water with a mild detergent for delicates. Trust the machine only with a protective bag on a 30 °C delicate cycle. Never use a tumble dryer.
Quick checklist
- The measurements in the description match yours.
- The material is stated (lace, microfibre, cotton).
- Washing follows the manufacturer's instructions.
- The set matches your taste, not someone else's.
