BUYING LINGERIE FOR YOUR BODY TYPE


Choosing lingerie can feel surprisingly personal — especially when you want something that feels comfortable, natural, and easy to settle into. If you’ve ever second-guessed a piece in the fitting room or wondered what will feel right on your body, you’re not alone.


This guide is here to offer a simple starting point, so you can choose pieces that feel supportive, flattering in a way that feels natural, and comfortable to wear throughout your session.


Use this as a guide, not a rulebook — the best pieces are still the ones that feel most natural and comfortable on you.


Visual Guide: Understanding Body Shapes

Use this simple guide to help identify your natural shape. Knowing how your body carries balance and curves can help you select lingerie that feels tailored to you.

Visual guide showing five female body types—Triangle, Rectangle, Apple, Hourglass, and Pear—each with a simple shape overlay for reference.

🔺 TRIANGLE

If your shoulders are broader than your hips, your shape is likely a triangle.

Try: Styles that keep the top a little simpler and bring more detail to the hips — like high-cut panties, lace or ruffled details at the hips, or pieces with embellishment lower down.


▭ RECTANGLE

If your shoulder, bust, waist, and hip measurements are fairly uniform, you’re likely a rectangle shape.

Try: Belted bodysuits, soft fabrics that drape and gather at the waist, or lingerie with strategic cutouts or side panels.


🍎 APPLE

If you’re curvy with a less defined waist, you may fall into the apple category.

Try: V-neck bodysuits or plunging lines that elongate your frame and draw the eye downward. These shapes flatter the bust while skimming gently over the midsection.


⌛ HOURGLASS

If your shoulders and hips are fairly balanced and you have a clearly defined waist, you’re likely an hourglass.

Try: Lingerie that keeps your proportions in harmony. Look for structured pieces that accentuate your waist—like corsets, cinchers, or belted robes.


🍐 PEAR

If your hips are broader than your shoulders, you’re likely a pear shape.

Try: Styles that draw attention upward. Lace bras, padded or push-up bras, and embellished tops can all create visual balance and highlight your upper body.


The Most Important Tip: Try Everything On

Make sure every piece fits comfortably and feels great on your skin. What you wear should feel like a celebration—not a distraction.


When something feels good on your body, it’s easier to move naturally and feel at ease during your session.
