Wanting to feel more confident when it comes to lingerie? One Body Intimates presents our tips for feeling your very best in sultry underwear.
Lingerie has the power to transform our moods and empower, but it can also leave us feeling pretty exposed. Even those with unshakable body confidence sometimes feel intimidated stepping in front of the mirror in a sexy lingerie set.
Self-love and acceptance of our bodies is a lifelong journey, but it shouldn’t stop us from harnessing the mood-boosting power of lingerie. If you’ve struggled with underwear confidence, you aren’t alone. In this post, we break down how to feel confident in lingerie, for yourself before anyone else!
Get comfortable
Comfort is the first stage of confidence. You can’t feel you’re truly rocking a sexy set of lingerie if it feels downright unpleasant to wear. Sometimes you may need more support than a lacy thong or revealing bra can give, and there’s nothing unsexy about that! The more comfortable you are, the greater your self-confidence.
Choose the fit that makes you feel the best
Wearing lingerie is a hugely personal experience, and everyone feels confident in different ways. It’s important not to shop for lingerie that you think is supposed to make you feel sexy. There are common trends, fits and silhouettes associated with classic lingerie, but that doesn’t mean they work for you or your body. This might take a little trial and error if you’ve never dabbled in lingerie before, but you’ll soon find a fit that brings out your self-confidence (and maybe inner seductress!)
As we mentioned, there is no one size fits all category when it comes to sensual lingerie. For some people, this may look like barely-there lace undies and bras, whereas others could feel their most confident in a seamless, minimalist set. Trust your own instincts and tune in to what feels good.
Secure a killer matching set
They say you never feel like you have your life together more than when wearing a matching set of underwear, and we have to agree! Even when choosing not to show off a lingerie set, there’s something incredibly empowering about including this underwear in your daily routine. You feel more put together and in control, allowing you to smash those work meetings or finally get around to those tasks you’ve been putting off.
Have a sultry solo photoshoot
You know how good you look in that new set of lingerie, so why not commemorate the occasion with a sexy photoshoot? Embracing your body and taking snaps to treasure and honour yourself with can do wonders for your self-confidence. The best part? You don’t even have to share the pictures with anyone, but if you did want to send a few saucy pics to that special someone, we can’t deny that feels pretty empowering too!
Don’t leave lingerie just for special occasions
Lingerie is NOT just for Valentine’s Day and anniversaries. Not only does this limit your opportunities to tap into some underwear self-confidence, but it also suggests that single people might as well not even bother with lingerie. Let’s make it clear, lingerie is for you first and foremost, so whether you choose to share a sultry look with others shouldn’t affect when you choose to wear it.
Choose to embrace the powers of lingerie for all occasions, even if it’s just spending some me time at home. There’s not much that strutting your stuff around the house in lingerie with your favourite playlist blaring can’t fix.
Embrace and love your body for all that it is
Ok, this is easier said than done, and we are realistic enough to know you’ll always get days when you feel a little low on self-confidence. During these moments, know that confidence is an ever-changing spectrum. Where possible continue to embrace and love your body for all that it gives you. You are more than just how you aesthetically appear, and you have everything to be confident about.
