ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Lingerie

Lingerie is a type of clothing that is meant to be worn close to your skin, usually underneath your regular clothes. It is made to make you feel extra special and pretty.

Lingerie comes in many different shapes and sizes. Some types of lingerie include bras (which are what girls wear to cover their chest), panties (which are like underwear but fancier), and stockings (which are like long socks that go up to your thighs). Another type of lingerie is a nightgown, which is a long, flowing dress that is also very pretty.

Lingerie can be made out of all sorts of different materials like silk, lace, or satin. These materials are very soft and feel nice against your skin.

Lots of people wear lingerie for special occasions, like weddings, or when they want to feel sexy at home. But you don't have to wear lingerie if you don't want to - it's just an option if you want to add a little extra something special to how you feel.
