What are lingerie accessories?

Lingerie accessories are the extras worn with, under or instead of a full lingerie set. In this collection that means garter belts, suspenders and garter stockings in lace, fishnet and net; nipple covers and pasties, from plain silicone discs that hide under a sheer top to rhinestone bunny heads meant to be seen; gloves; and chokers, body chains and strappy harnesses. They change the feel of an outfit you already own, and they pair naturally with the sheer pieces in our lingerie collection.

Types of lingerie accessories

Garter belts, suspenders and garter stockings

Leg Avenue's lace garter belts, elastic garter suspenders and thigh highs with an attached garter belt make up the largest part of the range, with Le Desir's fishnet and lace garter belt stockings alongside. A stocking with the garter already attached is the simplest option; a separate belt lets you mix and match hosiery.

Garter sets and garter skirts

Many Leg Avenue sets bundle a bra top, g-string and garter belt or garter harness, and garter skirts from Leg Avenue and Radiance come with matching thigh highs. Garter panties include a men's lace and mesh version from Lace King and a Bedroom Bliss strap-on panty harness.

Nipple covers and pasties

Peekaboo and Intimately GG make smooth silicone covers, including pierced versions with a central opening and perky enhancers that shape rather than hide. Decorative pasties range from Playboy rhinestone rabbit heads and Nipplicious hearts and rainbows to Peekaboo's Spank Me designs, Kheper Games edible pasties and Leg Avenue nipple jewels with body glitter.

Gloves

Leg Avenue vinyl gloves, vinyl claw gloves, rhinestone fishnet opera-length gloves and long lace gloves, plus Playboy's Bunny Noir gloves, finish a look from wrist to shoulder.

Chokers, body chains and harnesses

Master Series' Kinky Kitty ring choker and Captivate collar with body chain, the Punishment spiked choker and Leg Avenue's vegan leather studded body harnesses with garters bring a harder edge. They sit at the soft end of restraints: worn for the look, not for holding anyone in place.

How to choose lingerie accessories

Begin with the outfit and occasion, then work out whether the accessory should support, hide or decorate.

• Purpose: For coverage under clothing choose smooth silicone covers in a shade close to your skin. For show, pick rhinestone or heart pasties, a visible garter belt or a choker in a contrasting color.
• Attached or separate: Stockings with an attached garter belt are quick to put on; a separate belt with adjustable straps holds more securely and works with stockings you already own.
• Adhesive and reuse: Silicone covers are typically washable and reusable; fabric and rhinestone pasties are often adhesive-backed and last a few wears at most.
• Matching: Coordinate colors and textures with the lingerie set you plan to wear them with, or choose black and neutrals that go with everything.

How to use and care for lingerie accessories

Put a garter belt on before panties so you can use the bathroom without unclipping, and fasten the straps to the stocking welt rather than the lace. Apply nipple covers to clean, dry, lotion-free skin and press from the center outward.

• Hand wash lace, fishnet and net pieces in cool water and lay them flat to dry.
• Wash silicone covers with mild soap and water, air dry sticky side up, and store them on their backing sheet.
• Remove adhesive pasties slowly from the edge, and give the skin a break between long wears.
• Wipe vinyl gloves and vegan leather harnesses with a damp cloth; keep metal chokers and chains dry so they do not tarnish.

Lingerie accessories for beginners, couples and nights out

If you have never worn garters, thigh highs with the garter belt already attached are the easiest first purchase and go with nearly any set. Couples often enjoy a harness or choker as a surprise reveal; our couples' collection has more ideas for a themed night. For parties, silicone covers under a sheer top give confidence without drawing attention, while rhinestone pasties, opera gloves and the fishnet pieces in lapdance lingerie are made to be noticed.
