What is an erotic bodysuit?

An erotic bodysuit—also known as a sex bodysuit, erotic bodysuit, or body pleasure—is a form-fitting one-piece garment that covers the upper body from shoulder to crotch, fastening at the back with a snap or hook. It differs from a regular bodysuit in its material and cut: fishnet, lace, or leather with open elements. Bodysuits and teddies are used as synonyms—a teddy is generally slightly looser and more airy in cut than a tight-fitting bodysuit. Erotic bodysuits and erotic bodysuits are plural forms of the same product. Erotic bodysuit and body pleasures are descriptive search terms for this segment.

Why are erotic bodysuits popular?

A bodysuit creates a seamless, sculpted look that loose combinations of bras and panties cannot match. The tight-fitting material accentuates the body as a whole. Fishnet bodysuits are popular because of their fully see-through effect—the body is visible through the coarse mesh. Lace bodysuits create a more refined, sensual effect. Leather-strap bodysuits and bondage bodysuits—referred to as metal bondage or BDSM bodysuits—are popular in fetish and BDSM contexts. “Body pleasure” refers to the combination of physical sensation and visual effect that a bodysuit provides.

Types and Variations

Fishnet Bodysuits

A fishnet bodysuit is made of coarse-mesh netting—the body is fully visible through the openings in the net. This is the most explicit type of bodysuit. Popular for use during sex and for roleplay. Typically fastens with snaps in the crotch. Fishnet bodysuit refers specifically to this type.

Lace Bodysuits

Lace bodysuits offer a more refined, sensual effect than fishnet. The lace is decorative and partially see-through. Available with and without cups for breast support. This type overlaps with the teddy segment—a lace teddy has a looser fit than a tight-fitting lace bodysuit.

Teddies

A teddy is a loose, flowing bodysuit—similar to a babydoll but with a closed bottom secured by a snap or hook. Softer and airier than a tight-fitting bodysuit. Made of nylon, chiffon, or lace. Suitable for those who prefer the loose drape of a babydoll but want a bodysuit instead of a loose-fitting dress.

Strap bodysuits and bondage bodysuits

Strap bodysuits consist of a construction of leather or nylon straps that wrap around the body without covering it. Popular in BDSM and fetish contexts. Metal bondage refers to bodysuits with metal rings and fasteners. BDSM bodysuit and fantasy bodysuit are related terms. Also check out the BDSM collection for additional harness gear.

Bodysuits with open cups or open crotch

Bodysuits with open cups or fully open cups leave the breasts completely exposed while the rest of the body is covered. Open crotch bodysuits do not fasten at the crotch but leave that area open. These are the most explicit types in this segment. Body top xxx and sexy body strip refer to this type.

What should you look for when buying an erotic bodysuit?

Sizing is critical for a tight-fitting bodysuit—measure your bust, waist, and hips accurately. A bodysuit that’s too small will pinch; one that’s too large will hang loosely. Crotch closure type: snaps are more practical than hooks when used during sex. Material: fishnet is completely see-through and requires virtually no maintenance; lace is more beautiful but more delicate. Always wash at 30 degrees in a laundry bag.

Frequently Asked Questions About Erotic Bodysuits and Teddies

What is the difference between a bodysuit and a teddy?

A bodysuit is tight and form-fitting—it accentuates the body. A teddy has a looser cut and drapes more like a short dress that fastens at the crotch. Teddies are typically made of softer, more breathable materials. Both fasten at the crotch with snaps or hooks.

Can I also wear an erotic bodysuit as an everyday top?

Some form-fitting bodysuits made of nylon or microfiber can be worn as an everyday top under a skirt or pants. Fishnet bodysuits and open-style designs are intended exclusively for indoor use. A lace teddy can, in some cases, be worn as nightwear.

How does a bodysuit fasten at the crotch?

Most bodysuits fasten at the crotch with snaps—usually two or three. Some models use hooks. Snaps are more practical for frequent putting on and taking off. When purchasing, check whether the fastening is sturdy enough for intensive use.

Is a fishnet bodysuit also suitable as outerwear?

A fishnet bodysuit is completely see-through and therefore only suitable for indoor use or as an undergarment under other clothing. Worn under a blazer or tight pants, a fishnet bodysuit can create a subtle effect. As a standalone garment, it is intended for indoor use.
