Traditionally, women's pasties were designed to cover the nipple and areola, thus meeting censor requirements regarding full nudity of the breast, yet allowing for maximum view of the breast. Pasties derived their name because they are pasted onto the breast with a body friendly adhesive or tape.

Women's stockings and pantyhose are available in a variety of styles and colors. Sheer black stockings are among the most traditional and popular type of stocking. Lace top stockings, as the name indicates, are adorned with lace, or stretch lace, at the top. Lace stockings are different than lace-top stockings, in that women's lace stockings are entirely made of stretch lace fabric. Plain top stockings have no lace at the top. Back seam stockings, or back seamed stockings, are considered to be a bit more alluring, with a seam that typically runs the entire length of the stocking along the back of the leg. Sexy stockings tend to include popular lingerie styles like fishnet stockings, fence net stockings and diamond hole stockings as well as criss-cross lace up stockings, lace stockings and zipper stockings.
