Catsuits

A catsuit covers the entire body from neck to toe in a single form-fitting garment—tight, shiny, and distinctly sensual. The combination of full coverage with maximum contouring makes the catsuit unique in erotic lingerie. In this selection, you’ll find catsuits in fishnet, Lycra, vinyl, and nylon, for women in standard and plus sizes.

What is a catsuit?

A catsuit is a one-piece, form-fitting garment that covers the entire body—from the neck or shoulders to the feet. The name refers to the tight, cat-like look that completely envelops the silhouette. Catsuits are available in a variety of materials: fishnet catsuit, Lycra catsuit, vinyl catsuit, and nylon catsuit. Women’s bodystockings sometimes overlap with the catsuit category—the distinction lies in the density of the material. Cat suit and catsuite are alternative spellings of the same garment. A BDSM catsuit refers to a catsuit in a fetish context, typically made of vinyl, latex, or leather.

Why are catsuits popular?

A catsuit combines full coverage with maximum contouring. The tight material follows every curve of the body—an effect that loose clothing or lingerie cannot achieve. In an erotic context, a catsuit conveys a dominant, powerful aura. The look is distinctly sensual without being explicitly revealing. BDSM catsuits in vinyl or latex are popular in a fetish context due to the shiny material and the feeling of enclosure. Plus-size catsuit and catsuit grande taille refer to models in larger sizes—also available in the collection.

Types and Variants

Fishnet catsuits

A fishnet catsuit is made of coarse-mesh netting — the body is fully visible through the openings. This is the most clear variant. Popular for indoor use and photography. Women’s bodystockings and fishnet catsuits are sometimes used interchangeably as terms for this type. Available in black and other colors.

Lycra and nylon catsuits

Lycra catsuits are tight-fitting but opaque—the body isn’t visible through the material, but the contours are fully accentuated. Shiny Lycra creates a wet-look effect without the use of vinyl or latex. Nylon catsuits have a similar feel but are slightly less stretchy. “Nude catsuit” is a popular search term for skin-colored Lycra catsuits.

Vinyl catsuits

Vinyl catsuits are shiny, opaque, and create a strong fetish effect. The vinyl material is stiffer than Lycra but less pronounced than latex. Popular in BDSM and fetish contexts. Also check out the vinyl clothing for other vinyl items.

BDSM catsuits

BDSM catsuits are typically made of vinyl, latex, or leather and sometimes feature built-in straps, fasteners, or openings in strategic places. “BDSM catsuit” and “catsuit sex” are the most searched terms for this type. Popular for BDSM sessions and fetish events. Also check out the BDSM collection for additional items.

Catsuits in plus sizes

Plus size catsuit and catsuit grande taille are catsuits in larger sizes. Stretchy materials like Lycra and nylon offer the most size flexibility. Also check out the plus size collection for more plus-size erotic clothing.

What should you look for when buying a catsuit?

Sizing is critical for a form-fitting catsuit—too small causes uncomfortable pressure; too large hangs loosely. Check bust, waist, and hip measurements in the size chart. Stretch: Lycra and nylon stretch; vinyl and latex have less stretch—opt for a size larger with vinyl and latex. Closure type: a zipper at the back or side makes it easier to put on and take off. Wash at 30 degrees in a laundry bag. Never tumble dry.

Frequently Asked Questions About Catsuits

What is the difference between a catsuit and a bodystocking?

A catsuit is usually made of a sturdier, denser material—nylon, Lycra, or vinyl—that is opaque or only slightly clear. A bodystocking is usually made of a finer, more clear material such as nylon mesh or lace. The line is blurred with fishnet catsuits. The distinction is more aesthetic than functional.

Can I also wear a catsuit as outerwear?

Lightweight Lycra catsuits in neutral colors can be worn as a bodysuit under a skirt or pants. Fishnet catsuits, vinyl catsuits, and BDSM catsuits are exclusively suitable for indoor use or fetish events. Assess each model based on transparency and material.

How do I put on a tight catsuit?

Start at the feet and work your way up—step into it and gradually pull the material up. Use powder-free gloves with latex or vinyl to prevent damage. Pull the material on evenly without tugging at a single point. Close the zipper last. For Lycra: a small amount of body lotion on the skin makes it easier to put on.

How do I care for a catsuit?

Lycra and nylon: wash at 30 degrees in a laundry bag; never tumble dry. Vinyl: wipe clean with a damp cloth and treat with vinyl polish before storing. Latex: see the care instructions for latex clothing. Store catsuits folded or rolled up—never on a hanger, as this stretches the material.
