There's a widespread misunderstanding that lingerie is designed for promiscuous women and that if you own it, you must be "easy." This, of course, is incorrect, and our Cherlot lingerie designers are here to explain how underwear can be a healthy method of exploring your sexuality and restoring confidence in your body. As we said in our previous blog post, society has a very narrow definition of what a beautiful lady is, and a lot of it has to do with size. However, thanks in part to plus-size lingerie, we have seen this view begin to evolve in recent years.

Contrary to popular belief, lingerie is a powerful tool that many women utilize to feel more at ease and secure in their flesh. Given that so many things in society are judged unsightly, such as stretch marks, varicose veins, obesity, wrinkles, blemishes, age spots, and many more natural results of living a normal, healthy life, it is not uncommon for women to feel worthless or unwanted to themselves and others. And it's online lingerie retailers like Cherlot's job to put a stop to it! Here are a few ways new lingerie can increase your confidence and self-esteem.

📍 It accentuates rather than conceals

Anyone who has seen lingerie before knows that it can be quite revealing, which is often a good thing. Looking at your fears from a fresh angle is often the greatest way to change them into something you're proud of - and lingerie provides just that. Are you concerned about your weight? Examine your stomach through a silky, flowy mesh babydoll capped with a sophisticated lace bralette. Are you fed up with being defined by your age and wrinkles? With a beautiful two-piece bra and thong combination, you can channel your inner teen. The trick is to highlight the portions of your physique you like while concealing those you don't!

📍 Comfort equates to self-confidence

It seems obvious that the less at ease you are with your body, the less confident you will be – whether alone or with your significant other. When you slip into a silky, lacy piece of quality underwear, you are significantly more likely to be comfortable with your appearance than you would ordinarily be, making you more confident in your innate beauty and self-worth. You'll be astonished at how much happy and calm you are when your mind isn't humming with self-conscious thoughts, whether you're wearing nice lingerie under your clothes or as a playful item of outerwear.

📍 It is suitable for a variety of body types

Like the prevalent notion that lingerie is just for promiscuous women, there is also a general idea that lingerie is only made for "thin" or diminutive individuals. Cherlot's lingerie designers will be the first to tell you that lingerie is for everyone, regardless of size, shape, age, or race. That's why we provide a wide range of high-quality underwear styles, designs, and sizes to suit any body shape, including our plus-size lingerie line.
