srcorrales founder, Christina Grance, talks with Jennifer Tracy on the popular MILF podcast about the importance of lingerie, surviving motherhood, and how pole dancing helped her to find her voice.
Tanga Panty
The tamest of the bunch, the tanga panty is right between a bikini brief and a thong panty. It’s a gateway panty. We joke! It's perfect for those who want more coverage than a thong, but want something a little more revealing than a bikini cut. Consider it, the more elegant version of a thong.
Thong Panty
The thong has become such a standard in the underwear drawer that one may wonder, does it actually belong in a naughty knickers guide? Yes. Yes it does. It’s the iconic sexy panty, but just because it’s common place doesn’t mean it has to be boring. Show you're cheeky with these cheeky thongs.
G-String Panty
The truth is, the g-string should be just as much of staple in your underwear drawer as your comfy cotton undies. The g-string is intended to help create that seamless look when donning a skintight LBD or linen trousers. Combats panty lines and perfect for date night. Take a sexy leap and instead of a thong, try out at g-string instead.
Cage Panty
The cage panty is our personal favorite. Cage panties are designed with multiple straps to create an edgy and bold geometric look that enhance the curve of your body. Are you a two strap girl? Three straps? Four? Versatile designs and colors allow you to find the cage panty that's perfect for you.
Open Back Panty
Proud of your backside? This is the panty for you. The open back panty (or as some like to call it the buttless panty) is exactly as it sounds, a panty with cutouts to expose your bum. Sort of like assess chaps, but with underwear. We dare you to wear it to work.
Crotchless Panty
Much like the open back panty, the crotchless panty leaves little to the imagination seeing as it’s…crotchless. What’s the point of a crotchless panty? To be naughty, to be bold, to have fun, to feel the breeze...just don’t wear them with jeans. Check out our full crotchless panty guide here.
The Everything Panty
This is all the panties above mixed into one…with pearls.
Shopping for lingerie can be overwhelming for a lot of women. You know you want it, but what should you get? Do you get a babydoll or a chemise? Wait...what's a chemise? And what the heck is the difference between a teddy and a bodysuit? We get it. That's why we’ve done the hard work for you and have decoded each piece of lingerie. Consider this the ultimate lingerie guide for women. It's time to channel your inner scantily clad aspirations, ladies.
Every lady needs a teddy or two within her lingerie collection. Teddies are an iconic piece of lingerie that are like the middle-woman between bodysuits and rompers. They’re form fitting one-pieces that cover the torso and crotch area and are often embellished with sexy details like lace, sheer mesh, and harness straps. The perfect ingredient in creating a night to remember!
Trade in your lounge pants and tee for a sexy romper. Rompers are a type of cozy one-piece apparel that can be used for loungewear or to sleep in. Like a teddy, it has a top and bottom connected to each other, often finishing with cheeky, loose shorts. They’re very similar to the rompers you wear during the day – comfortable, loose and chic, only with a bit more sass and sex appeal.
Bodysuits can look identical to teddies, as they’re both form fitting one pieces. However, the main difference between the two is that often bodysuits are designed to be worn under clothing or as a layer within your ensemble and can also dub as a sexy piece of lingerie.
Babydolls, to put it simply, are nightgowns turned sexy. They’re short, loose-fitting negligees often characterized by a tighter fitting top made to accentuate the bust and a looser flowing bottom. Some babydolls have a little extra added to them, such as formed cups, for added sex appeal.
A modern day chemise can be a lot of things! What was originally a simple undergarment meant to be worn under your clothing has become a sexy stylish piece of lingerie with a myriad of looks. It's essentially a sleeveless slip. They can be form fitting or loose and often fall above the knee. Some are more bent towards comfort and simplicity while others are more daring and provocative. What's your chemise style?
A corset is traditionally a heavily structured undergarment that helps to create an hourglass figure with the use of intricate lacing in the back. Nowadays, corsets have come a long way and now come in a variety of materials such as leather, satin and lace. Believe it or not, they can even be comfortable!
Body stockings are regular stockings turned 50 shades of grey. It can be a body hugging head to toe one piece or a short dress with attached stockings. The common denominator is that a body stocking is made of stretchy stocking material like fishnet or nylon.
Swap out your nighttime tank for a sexy camisole. A camisole is just like the camis you wear during the day, only sexier. To add a provocative appeal that doesn’t take away from the comfiness, they’re often made with sensual fabrics, such as silk or lace. They’re great for keeping things sexy even while you sleep.

Did you know that October is National Breast Cancer awareness month? Is there anyone who hasn’t been touched by this disease? Whether it's a friend, a mother, a co-worker we all know someone who has had breast cancer.
Yesterday, I reached out to a family member whose mother had battled and conquered breast cancer several years ago. It was then she told me that the cancer had come back and is now stage IV metastatic. Currently, only 7% of funds raised go to research for this type of cancer. srcorrales is proud to announce we will be donating 10% of our profits this month to the Susan G Komen fund dedicated to metastatic breast cancer. In addition all donations made to the Komen fund from October to December 31 will be matched dollar for dollar by Odonate Therapeutics.
At srcorrales, we celebrate women and the female body. This photo of me breastfeeding my son was taken by my husband at a recent photo shoot. It was off the cuff and mostly done just for fun with no real intention to do anything with it. Now, it seems so fitting. The female body is miraculous. It’s ferocious and abundant and a true warrior. Here's to any woman or man who lives and fights breast cancer every day of their life.
To find out more about metatastic breast cancer or to donate directly you can go directly to the Susan G Komen site.

So...Why should I wear crotchless panties?
What a delicious question. If only all my days were spent pondering the reasoning behind crotchless lacies. This question has come up for me recently since I filmed a piece for BuzzFeed Ladylike where the ladies of Ladylike challenged themselves to try crotchless panties for a day. You can see all the hilarious hijinks that ensued here.
After talking about it with friends, there was a common theme amongst all of them.
“Why not just go commando?”
Look, let’s get really real here. Most women are not using crotchless panties as their, “Hey, I’m going to the supermarket and picking up some quinoa” pair of panties. No, most women when going about their life are wearing their daily underwear in whatever form that feels best for them-thong, bikini briefs, commando, granny panty etc. Typically, a crotchless panty isn’t meant for the ordinary day to day lifestyle.
It’s for…you know…special times.
When I explain this to my friends, they then say…”yeah, but why not just go commando then? That’s hot!”
Yes, undoubtedly that is true, but gals, crotchless panties are hot because you’re dressed and undressed at the same time! You’ve got this beautiful frame of soft fabric and textured lace to bring attention to what is the happiest place on earth. Haven’t you ever bought a piece of lingerie, whether a bra or chemise and been so happy to have it on your body and you’re feeling all fabulous, and then….it’s off in less than 60 seconds. In the back of your mind your inner pragmatist is thinking, “wait, I paid good money for this thing.” With crotchless panties, you’re meant to keep them on. They aren’t just an appetizer.
So then that brings up the question- “Are crotchless panties only meant to be enjoyed with a lover?” Of course not! As I said in the BuzzFeed video, wearing crotchless panties on a regular day is the sexiest secret in the world between you and your body. What if you got yourself a risqué pair of panties to wear at your next important meeting or networking event? Or possibly even on a Friday night out where you have no intention of anyone ever laying eyes on your skivvies. How would that change how you interact with people? Would you feel a little more confident? Might you even feel more empowered with this sexy secret? A sexy bra is awesome, but crotchless panties, now that’s really upping the boldness game.
All in all crotchless panties are meant to be sexy fun. Just the word alone makes most people want to snicker in a high school adolescence kind of way. Embrace that reaction and allow yourself some sexy play. Look, sexuality and your inner sexy is a deep profound experience that I teach women to embrace on a soulful level every day, but if you take it all too seriously you run the danger of making it so sacred that you miss out on all the fun and lightness it can also offer. Try out a crotchless panty for yourself or for a lover and see what happens. If you need a little guidance, check out my favorite picks below and see which ones strike your fancy.
Who knows, you might find you enjoy the breeze.
