10 best bodystockings for maximum wow factor in the bedroom
If I said you had a beautiful bodystocking, would you hold it against me?
Until recently, bodystockings were the type of lingerie one reserves for the bedroom (crotchless knickers, we're looking at you). Sure, see-through mesh is fun, but it doesn’t leave much to the imagination. Fortunately, times are changing and — due in part to a certain family of globally famous reality stars — bodystockings are having a moment.
“The Kardashians have significantly popularised bodystockings as a fashion statement, often wearing them at high-profile events or being snapped by the media on nights out,” says April Maria, sex educator at Hot Octopuss.
We’re all for experimental fashion that can be worn between the sheets and in the streets. Bodystockings might be kinky as hell, but they’re also practical, comfortable and easy on the eye. So, if you’re keen to jump on board the bodystocking bandwagon but you’re too shy to flash your gusset in public, don’t stress. We can guarantee that you’ll still get plenty of miles out of your lingerie even if it never leaves your bedroom, so it’s worth choosing the right one.
Luckily, we’re here to give you the lowdown on the best bodystockings to transform your lingerie from vanilla affair to Kardashian sex tape party. Keep scrolling for everything you need to know about bodystockings including how to wear one, the benefits of indulging yourself and the best bodystockings to buy now.

This classy off-the-shoulder look known as the ‘Bardot neckline’ first got its name from the French actress Brigitte Bardot back in the 1950s.

What is a bodystocking?
If you’re new to full-body lingerie, the clue is in the name. “A bodystocking is a form-fitting, one-piece garment that covers the torso and sometimes the legs, arms, or even very little of the body, depending on the occasion,” says Maria.
Given the transparency of the fabric, wherever you choose to wear yours, it’s bound to make an impact. “Bodystockings are typically made from sheer, stretchy materials like nylon, spandex, or fishnet and can be worn under other garments or as a standalone statement piece,” says Maria.
And as we said, bodystockings can now be found out in the wild. “They are often used as intimate apparel. However, bodystockings are famous for their alluring and revealing nature, providing a combination of coverage and transparency, and frequently worn at festivals, kinky events or as a sexy alternative in the bedroom.”
What are the benefits of wearing a bodystocking?
Bodystockings come with many benefits, both in and out of the bedroom. “The one that stands out the most is comfort,” says Maria. “Made from materials like nylon, spandex, or fishnet, bodystockings are designed to be comfortable, stretchy, and breathable, allowing for ease of movement for any occasion.”
Bodystockings also tend to be designed specifically with kinky fun in mind. “They feature strategic openings or crotchless designs that provide easy access to the genital areas without requiring the removal of the bodystocking,” explains Maria. “These designs add an element of surprise, excitement and convenience, and allow for seamless transitions between different levels of intimacy.” The upshot? “This functionality makes them popular for intimate moments, combining practicality with sensuality.”
How to put on a bodystocking
Not sure how to wear your bodystocking? Follow our simple steps:
- To wear your bodystocking, you need a blank canvas. “Start by ensuring your skin is clean, dry and free from oils and sticky creams, and consider removing any jewellery that could snag the fabric,” says Maria.
- Soft, clean skin will give you an advantage. “If you wear a bodystocking covering your whole body, you could even rub some talc on your skin for extra ease.”
- Start slowly and slip into it. “Sit down and gently roll up one leg of the bodystocking, putting your foot through and gradually pulling it up to your knee, then repeat with the other leg.”
- Carefully pull your bodystocking up over your thighs and hips. “Ensure the material is evenly distributed to avoid twists or snags.”
- Stand up and continue moving the bodystocking over your waist, torso, and chest. “If the bodystocking has sleeves, carefully put your arms through one at a time, pulling the fabric up your shoulders.”
- You’re almost ready to hit the club. “Smooth out wrinkles or bunches to ensure the bodystocking fits snugly and comfortably,” adds Maria.
How to style your bodystocking for maximum impact
According to Maria, bodystockings can be a fun and stylish addition to your wardrobe or a great way to get down and dirty. “Bodystockings come in a variety of styles, colours, and materials, including fishnet, lace, sheer fabrics, neon, and even diamante, allowing for creativity in different looks and occasions,” she says.
And if you’re feeling fashion-forward, they’re super-easy to style up or down. “Although bodystockings are typically used in the bedroom, they can also be paired with high-waisted jeans, a blazer, heels, or boots to create a chic, sophisticated look suitable for evening events,” adds Maria. “The most iconic thing about bodystockings, especially those made from lace, is their patterns and shapes, which can create an enticing optical illusion, drawing attention exactly where you want it.”
