lingerie for women
How many women enjoy wearing lingerie…for themselves?

I’m not talking about how many women will wear certain things for their partner, I want to know how many women enjoy wearing things that make them feel sexy. And as a bonus, what specifically do you wear? (real women only please)

I love the way sexy lingerie makes me feel- especially nice nighties that are silky, and spaghetti strapped- it feels wonderful to sleep in. I am a big Victoria’s Secret fan- I like to wear their cute undies with sayings on them and they make the perfect bra for me- in the Very Sexy Collection. I do wear these for myself, (and of course there is a bonus that my fiancee loves them). I read once that a French Women’s Secret to feeling sexy is always wearing sexy lingerie under their regular clothes- they are definitely on to something!
