Women's Lingerie FAQs

What are the different styles of women’s lingerie?

Women’s lingerie is available in a variety of alluring and comfortable styles ranging from simple, everyday lace bras and underwear to provocative bodysuits and nightgowns. Common types of ladies' undergarments and intimate apparel include:

• Bras. Provide support, shaping, and comfort in a variety of styles, including T-shirt, wireless, balconette, and full-coverage bras.
• Camis. Lightweight layering pieces that can be worn under clothing or on their own for lounging and sleeping.
• Panties. Available in silhouettes like briefs, bikinis, hipsters, and thongs to suit different coverage and comfort preferences.
• Nightgowns. Soft, breathable sleepwear designed for lightweight comfort throughout the night.
• Bodysuits: One-piece garments that create a smooth silhouette and can be worn as lingerie or layered into everyday outfits.
• Robes. Lightweight or cozy layers that add warmth and coverage before bed or while relaxing at home.

What are the best fabrics for comfortable lingerie?

The best fabrics for comfortable everyday lingerie are soft, breathable, and stretchy enough to move with your body without feeling restrictive. This includes cotton, silk, and lightweight blends.

All of our women’s lingerie is made using comfortable and ultra-soft materials that you’ll want to wear all night long. Our underwear of nylon, cotton, and spandex blends offers light support, while our 100% cotton line feels airy and breathable. Our satin chemises provide a silky feel against the skin.

How do I choose lingerie that boosts confidence?

Choose lingerie that fits comfortably, provides the level of support you prefer, and makes you feel comfortable in your own skin. The right fit often has a bigger impact on confidence than a particular style or trend. Supportive bras may feel more comfortable for fuller busts, while others may prefer wireless styles or different underwear silhouettes based on personal preference. Selecting colors, fabrics, and details you genuinely enjoy is also one of the easiest ways to choose lingerie that boosts self-confidence and body positivity.

How do I measure myself to ensure the correct lingerie size?

To measure your bra size at home, wrap a measuring tape snugly around your ribcage directly under your bust to find your band size, then measure around the fullest part of your bust to calculate your cup size using a sizing chart. For underwear, measure around the fullest part of your hips while standing naturally and compare your measurements to the size guide.

Soma bras are available in band sizes 32 to 44 and cup sizes A to H, while many underwear, robes, and sleepwear styles are offered in sizes XS to XXL.
