The bodystocking has a highly erotic power, especially thanks to the choice of materials used in its manufacture: lace, fishnet, everything is thought to let see just enough...
Ideal to warm the atmosphere or surprise his partner, this piece quite original is declined to infinity to bend to your desires.

Where does the bodystocking come from ?

The first known and referenced appearance of bodystocking dates back to 1861, when the actress Adah Isaacs Menken wore it on stage and caused a real scandal.
Indeed, the role that the young woman played was that of the Ukrainian military hero Ivan Mazepa, tied naked to a horse and tortured by his enemies. The actress played the role of a man, naked, and protected her privacy with the famous body stockings mentioned.

It is since this play - having made great noise - that the wearing of the bodystocking was democratized little by little.
In 1965, the American corsetier Warner's is interested in this clothing and launches its own range, intended for the general public.

How to wear bodystocking?

The bodystocking is originally supposed to hold the role of an underwear. However, it is possible to wear it with underwear such as a bra, panties or a thong, especially for comfort and support. It all depends on your desires and your plans!

Body stockings are actually rarely worn alone, because of their transparency. However, some opaque models exist and allow to blur the lines between tights and blouse.

It is also possible to complete your outfit with a corset or a sexy waistband in order to leave a little room to your partner's imagination!
You can also imagine a naughty outfit including a garter belt, high heels... Everything is possible, as long as you please yourself!

Similar accessories

Be careful not to confuse bodystocking with simple tights or nylon stockings, which only cover the legs.
Also, this accessory is to be distinguished from the jumpsuit, traditionally worn as outerwear, and the leotard, which is closer to the sports field since it is mostly found in the world of gymnastics.

Resolutely suggestive, this piece of sexy lingerie is also worn by belly dancers. We can also make a parallel between this accessory and the zentai, this Lycra suit coming from Japan and covering the whole body, including the eyes and the mouth.

How is bodystocking made?

Bodystockings are most often made of nylon, although you can find versions in lace or fishnet.
Satin can also be used, but only in the upper part of the pantyhose, which allows to wear it as a blouse, under a jacket for example.

These materials are obviously chosen for their transparency, although some materials sometimes give the bodystocking a rather translucent look.

Latex versions and other materials appreciated in the world of BDSM are also available, although less widespread. Indeed, bodystocking generally prefers to cover the body while revealing it, which does not allow materials such as latex, wetlook, vinyl ..

How to choose a bodystocking piece?

The bodystocking may play a role of real aphrodisiac in men and perfectly highlight the female curves (whether pronounced or not), this bold piece of sexy lingerie can intimidate more than one.

Generous shapes

First of all, you should know that bodystocking and generous shapes go together perfectly. Strong curves will only be enhanced by the right size and a well-chosen cut.
So take the time to try on several models, and to test different sizes. A tight-fitting tights will emphasize your assets and refine your silhouette thanks to subtle optical effects, which can also lengthen your legs!

The different types of bodystocking

Types of materials

First of all, the material used influences the overall appearance of this sexy suit. More or less transparent, translucent, or on the contrary opaque, the choice is wide!

For a first purchase, prefer a bodystocking in full fabric or made of small mesh, which will reveal less your skin than a more daring piece. Also, choose soft and flexible materials to guarantee your comfort.

The amount of material

Then, the quantity of material also plays on the opacity of your piece of sexy lingerie. If you are intimidated by full bodystockings, choose a model combined with stockings, which is much easier to grasp than a large, imposing piece.

The number of erotic elements

Finally, the number of provocative elements can also determine how erotic your bodysuit will be. Choose between full body suits, crotch holes, chest openings or nipple openings..

The zippers are also a highly erotic bet, since it will be easier to undress you in one move! This accessory can be found on many models of fetish clothing and underwear for men and women.

In general, the imagination of manufacturers seems to have no limits. So have fun trying and comparing models with chains, nails, spikes, or any other detail associated with the world of BDSM.

The colors

When it comes to bodystocking, black is by far the most common, whether in fishnet, lace or other models. It is also possible to find some white pieces, because they are often intended for brides preparing their wedding night.

The color lovers can nevertheless turn to pink or flesh colored models, unless they fall for a red or purple piece of BDSM inspiration!

For a first bodystocking, beginners can consider models combined with underwear to reassure themselves and to get used to the new sensations that these sexy lingerie pieces provide.
