No matter what fashion magazines or popular opinion may say, opaque plus size lingerie can be just as sultry as see-through intimate apparel.
Benefits of Opaque Plus Size Lingerie
Opaque lingerie will be like much of your non-lingerie clothing: it won't be transparent. Lingerie is now available in such a wide range of styles and materials that any woman can find just the type she wants to round out her intimates collection. Some of the benefits of opaque lingerie include:
- More coverage: Everyone doesn't care for slinky, see-through lingerie, so if this is you, not to worry; there's plenty of opaque plus size lingerie to suit you. You'll find bras, slips, nightgowns, teddies and so much more in materials that leave a lot to the imagination, but are no less naughty.
- Confidence: Along with more coverage can come more confidence. Not worrying about every little bit of skin being on display, especially if you're concerned that your body isn't a perfect "10," can give you a feeling of freedom. Instead of trying to keep all the lights low because you don't want your thighs to be on display in a sheer nightie, you can feel free to leave the lights on, which can give you a great sense of confidence in the bedroom.
- Support: Sheer, see-through lingerie typically doesn't offer much in the way of support. Being supportive is usually not the aim of filmy, transparent pieces. If you prefer some level of support, either through slenderizing or bust enhancement, you're more likely to get it in an opaque piece.
Typical Materials
Opaque and transparent lingerie come in a range of materials, such as silk, lace, satin, polyester and cotton. Many lingerie pieces may incorporate sheer sections with non-sheer. This is a good way to wear something sexy without being too revealing, if you're uncomfortable wearing a piece that's completely transparent.

Buying Plus Size Lingerie

As you can see from the wide and varied choices offered at these sites, there's no shortage of sexy lingerie that doesn't necessarily reveal all.
Shopping for That Special Someone
What if you want your partner to wear something sexy, but she's not the type to go for see-through material? Buying her opaque lingerie can still fulfill that sexy role, while not compromising her comfort level. A gift of lingerie in her size is a thoughtful way to express your feelings, so long as it's lingerie she'll like and want to wear. When in doubt, go with the safer option, and opaque lingerie may just be it.

Women who tend to stick to the basics can have plenty of opaque lingerie in their collection and feel just as elegant and sexy as women who prefer transparent, filmy pieces. With so many choices in today's plus size lingerie market, there's something out there for every woman.
