So we've all got flaws, right? But did you know that certain types of sexy lingerie can help you to hide any flaws you may have and give a slimming effect? Believe it or not, it's true. You can look both slim and sexy, so let's look at your options in this article...

How can sexy be slimming?

Sexy lingerie isn't just something you see on glamour models or in the movies. It is in fact very appropriate for normal women, no matter if you're a stay-at-home mom, student or businesswoman!

Both the ardent gym-goer and mom will have some aspects of their body that they're not happy with, but no matter who you are you can benefit from certain types of sexy lingerie.

This is because the following styles not only look great, but have the added effect of giving you a slimmer shape!

1. Shaping Pants

In the last few years these invisible pants have become really popular. What they are is a fairly snug pair of pants that you can wear under any outer clothing like dresses which suck in your tummy and butt and leave you with a much slimmer profile.

The tightness gives support, so they're kind of like a more modern girdle, but certainly more comfortable.

2. Chemises

Chemises are a very pretty item of sexy lingerie and they can be slimming without any kind of 'sucking in or pushing up' at all!

A classic chemise is a relatively loose slip-type garment with spaghetti straps, but its strength is that it flares out slightly as it descends over your body meaning that it will de-emphasize your hips and tummy.

Couple this to the lovely satin or silk that they're made from and you're assured of a very simple, sexy look that can also fill you with confidence.

3. Corsets

A corset is one of the most recognizable and classical sexy lingerie items you can get.

They are both sexy and feel brilliant because they will slim your waist and boost your cleavage!

They shape your body because when they're tightened up at the back they constrict your waist into a natural hourglass shape as well as supporting your back and pushing up your bust.

They were originally designed to be worn under beautiful dresses, but many women now wear them just with jeans or with panties as an intimate item for the bedroom.

If you're looking for a killer figure, then a corset will delight you!

4. Babydolls

Babydolls are a short and slimming nightgown with in-built cups to support your bust that will usually come with matching panties.

Like a chemise, they will hide any issues around your tummy and hip area, but they have the added ability to boost your bust!

So you'll please your guy by boosting your boobs and tease him by not showing off too much flesh, what can you lose?

5. Teddies

A teddy is an excellent piece of sexy lingerie that every girl needs. They're a cool body-suit and because they cover so much of your body they can hide many faults that you aren't keen on.

Despite not showing off a lot of your body, they're sexy because they will excite your man by making him anticipate what's underneath.

6. Bustier

A bustier is like a corset, but with cups built-in. However unlike corsets, bustiers can have straps and also a garter belt. So when you imagine those classic pictures of 50s bombshells writhing around wearing something that looks like a corset with a garter belt and stockings they're actually wearing a bustier.

If you have a large chest this can lead to problems with your boobs dropping somewhat, but a bustier will solve this issue straight away as well as giving you a slimmer outline.

It really is a 'powerful' piece of sexy lingerie, as it can help you in so many ways from boosting cleavage, to slimming your tummy, to exciting your man.

So next time you are looking in the mirror and wondering how on earth you can correct any figure flaws whilst looking sexy at the same time you'll know that you do in fact have at least these 6 great lingerie options to help you!
