Lingerie Glossary

Curious about a term, phrase or word related to lingerie or underwear?
Here a list I find which I hope will somehow help you when you stuck on it.
G-String: A style of panty similar to a thong where the front fabric panel is connected by thing lines of fabric or elastic that rides along the hips or just below and fits between the buttocks. Bustier: Undergarment similar to a bra but extends down to the waist or hips to create a structured, supported look. Bustiers are often boned and include underwires and may have removable straps. Push-up cups: Bra cups with padding designed to enhance and push up b r e a s t to create flattering cleavage. Padding is sometimes stitched into the cup and sometimes removable. Thong: An underwear style for both men and women with a thin fabric back that rest between the buttocks. Bikini: A panty style with more coverage than a thong, and less than a brief. Typically, this brief sits below the naval and on the hips, but is slightly higher than a low-ride or hipster cut. The sides are usually high cut with either strings, bands or thin fabric separating the front and back coverage areas. Seamless: A style of fabric and/or garment designed and built without seams or lines to create smooth appearances under outerwear and for comfort. Chemise: A short slip or garment designed to wear under dresses. Structured like a camisole, but longer in length. Current trends show women wearing chemises over jeans as outer garments. Chemises can also be worn as lounge or sleepwear. Garter Belt: A intimate accessory that fits around the waist and hips with straps to hold up thigh-high stockings. The back and straps are typically adjustable. Demi cups: The fabric triangle of the bra that covers the b r e a s t, designed proportionate to half a full cup, the demi typically runs straight across the b r e a s t just above the nipple and has a low centerfront. Corset: A fitted garment usually with boning designed to cinch the waist and lift the b r e a s t. Boxers: Underwear or sleepwear designed with an elastic waistband and open, loose fitting legs. Men wear boxers as undergarments, and women typically as lounge or sleepwear. Baby Doll: Lingerie or nightgown usually designed with a empire cut waistband and a-line cut, loose and swaying skirt section falling anywhere from naval to mid-thigh.
In FACT this is only just a handful of them first, just in case the GoVERnator here dont like this. 
But who's care! The actual FACT is this is already in the Gordon's World of Facts

In FACTs I have no doubt that Gordonator would allow all these FACts here. As a matter of FACTs it should stay that way, but now somehow I got so excited ........ now I worry all these FACTs might be history soon! -

I always do lingerie shopping alone. Never will I bring a guy along. I think it's quite embarrassing for him, even tho he might enjoy it more than me. -

Sometime you meet someone with the right CUP size but then she not your CUP of tea.
At first YES! very embarrassing to follow her, but then think again that going to be something I am going see most of the time to get me exicte, why not choose something I preferred.
Also she is kind enough to follow me to choose my underwear and give good recommendation so I think it square and fair! One thing for sure, most of the time I didnt take her advice ..............
Why
Casue I am too shy to try something like
I prefer new style but old fashion type
Have A Nice Day! -

Originally posted by Gordonator:this is something new, has been a long time since sombody actually post something in this forum. I suppose to post only facts on lingerie, but somehow the THREAD went off TRACK after some boring ( i didnt say that, she confess ) women join in. Anyway i am still waiting some contribution of interesting FACTS or helpful FACTS on lingerie from her, base on her gender I see no problems, experience ???? ............... Since there are people reading this forum here, let me do a marketing survey on Singaporean men underwear. Just in case I want to lay long some underwear near Tanjong Pagar MRT after my office hours (maybe lunch time also can) during the GREAT SINGAPORE $ALE.
Below are 5 different type of men underwear, if you are male which one will you buy for yourself, if you are a female which want will you buy for your male partner (not business partner har)

With smooth, seamless sides, this soft brief's both comfortable and stylish. Boasting a lined and sculpted front pouch and bold 2(x)ist branding around the waistband and two classic color options, it provides undeniably cool styling.
2. Project short
The Project short by Bruno Banani has an incredibly smooth design with fashionable, shorter length legs. It sports a lightly elasticated waist, stylish branding and seamless sides.
3. Great In Bed brief
This low cut, comfortable brief has a colorful waistband, fitted shaping for comfort and the 'I am great in bed' logo at the front.
4. Pin Up boxer
This comfortable and fashionable stretch cotton Pin Up boxer by D&G has a branded, elasticated waist and extra support at the front. It sports colored edging, short legs and a 'Pin Up' logo.
