Many men say that nothing feels nicer against their skin than a pair of satin panties. There are two types of satin panties on the market at the moment - those made of real satin, and those made of synthetic material that feels like satin. The synthetic replica panties tend to be less expensive than real satin panties, and are good for the man on a budget. They also have another benefit in that they are less easy to stain than real satin panties, which can be ruined rather easily.

Real satin is actually made out of silk. It is a high gloss, very smooth material, and was once the domain of royalty, whereas fake satin is quite often made from blends of rayon, polyester, and nylon. Even though real satin is of a higher quality, don't necessarily dismiss "fake" satin from your lingerie wish list. Many synthetic blends mimic the feel of real satin quite well without the extortionate cost. Though it is true that with all lingerie, you get what you pay for, there are some mid range satin panties which should not break the bank, but which will provide the look and feel you are looking for.

The smoothness and shininess that satin has is a product mostly of its weave, which is done in such a fashion as to make the glossy threads stand out and reflect the light, producing a material that shines beautifully when light falls on it.

Satin panties slip and slide against the skin, gently caressing it. Because many men who wear lingerie do so for the sensation, satin panties are a special treat that can be worn under every day masculine clothing, yet constantly remind them of softness and sensuality.
