Does anyone else hate that lingerie defaults to lace?
I get that it's supposed to be pretty and feminine and it's historically been the go to material for many reasons, but I just really hate lace. There are some exceptions if the design is unique or the quality is high but I'd say that in my opinion 80% of lingerie lace is awful.
I don't like how it looks, I don't like how it's usually synthetic fabric so therefore not as comfortable, I don't like how it shows throw some clothing, I don't like the texture on my skin for prolonged periods of time. I don't like how it makes the cost of a garment higher because of the complexities of manufacturing lace. I feel like a total freak because most underwear is lace.
As you can imagine this makes it incredibly difficult to buy nice underwear. So I have two questions:
1- does anyone else share my aversion to lace?
2- can anyone recommend any brands available in Europe that don't default to lace?
I'd love to find some lovely simple designs in fun colours (nude and pink can also fuck off) ideally in natural fabrics but I'm ok with stretchy synthetics if it's soft and washes well. Does my ideal underwear brand exist or should I just learn how to make my own!!?
