A survey revealed that men and women share different tastes over perfect lingerie for females, as the former want something comfortable, while the latter prefer flesh-flashing innerwear.

According to the poll by lingerie Company, Bluebella, 62 per cent of men are turned on by sections of lace, cut-outs, sequins and bows, while 58 per cent of women prefer smoother, practical bras, as they sit better under blouses and T-shirts, the Daily Star reported.

The findings also revealed that 78 per cent of men are driven wild by stockings and a suspender belt, while 54 per cent of females find them a faff to put on and wear.

Emily Bendell from Bluebella said that from these results it seems that men associate lingerie with the delights underneath, so they like skimpy pieces, lace, sheer fabrics, plus obvious ties and bows that they can undo but women wear it all the time - so they want to combine comfort, adaptability and performance as well as fabulous aesthetics.
