About International Intimates

International Intimates is an apparel company based on West 34th Street in New York. It has made lingerie and underwear for more than four decades. Today it produces lingerie, sleepwear, shapewear and swimwear for its own brands and for private-label clients.

Its best-known label is René Rofé, founded by René Rofé in 1986. The brand’s Sexy range is the part that matters for Adultsmart shoppers, alongside Pink Lipstick, the company’s club and festival label. Both are made mainly from stretch nylon and spandex, in lace, mesh and fishnet.

International Intimates brands

Two of the company’s brands make adult lingerie.

René Rofé

René Rofé is the company’s founding label, created in 1986. Its Sexy range covers lingerie sets, bodysuits, teddies, babydolls, chemises, bodystockings, hosiery, costumes and crotchless lingerie. Style names are cheeky, such as Spank Me, Plunge In, Hot Pursuit and Lie to Me. Most pieces are stretch nylon and spandex in lace and mesh, and sit naturally among our sexy lingerie for her.

Pink Lipstick

Pink Lipstick is the company’s club and festival label, registered as a trademark in 2013. It makes seam-free dresses, net bodysuits, bodystockings, skirt sets and bra sets, several with matching pasties. Style names include Dynamite Diva, Diamond Drippin, Festival Flirt and Shreds of Decency. A few styles, such as Taking Risks, come in 3X/4X, alongside our plus-size lingerie. Check each listing for its size range.

International Intimates categories

The range falls into these groups.

Teddies and bodysuits

René Rofé and Pink Lipstick both build their ranges around teddies and bodysuits. Plunge In and Spank Me teddies use lace with deep V-necks and strappy backs. Hot Pursuit adds sheer lace, while Pink Lipstick’s Come Play With Me and Mesmerize use mesh and cut-outs. Most are stretch nylon and spandex, so they fit a range of shapes. Hand wash them to keep the lace soft.

Bodystockings and fishnet

Bodystockings cover the body in one stretch piece, often with an open crotch. René Rofé’s Sparkle and All Heart styles use fishnet, and the Criss-Cross Backstrap bodysuit adds strappy detail. Pink Lipstick adds Swipe Right, Risque, Flight Risk and On Rails. Most are one size fits most, and they layer well over a bra set or under a dress. Pull them on slowly to avoid snags.

Crotchless lingerie

René Rofé makes a wide range of crotchless and open-back panties. Styles include Lie to Me, Play With Me, Hot Hookup, Come Undone and Pure Envy, plus crotchless lace boyshorts and V-thongs. Open-back styles such as Dive Deep and All Tied Up show off the back instead. Most are lace with nylon and spandex for stretch. Pair them with a garter belt for a classic look.

Stockings and hosiery

René Rofé makes a full hosiery range to finish an outfit. It includes sheer, fishnet and quarter crochet net thigh highs, some with a back seam or a lace top. Suspender thigh highs have built-in straps, and lace garter belts come in black and white. Thigh highs are mostly one size fits most, in 100% nylon. Roll them on gently from the toe.

Costumes and roleplay

René Rofé makes costumes for the bedroom rather than the street. Characters include a naughty nurse, a teacher’s pet, a maid, a police officer and a schoolgirl skirt in red or hot pink. Our seduction ideas using costumes shows how a costume can build anticipation. Many costume sizes are listed by bust, from about 32 to 38 inches. Agree on the scene first.

Bondage-style lingerie

René Rofé also makes lingerie with a fetish look. Misbehave and Night Chain are bondage-style bra sets, the Chain Harness and Body Jewelry sets add metal detail, and Rassel Tassel is a harness set. Our guide to fetish wear explains how to wear pieces like these. They are styling pieces, not restraints, so never use them to bear weight. Check clasps before wear.

Bedroom or club?

René Rofé is mostly bedroom lingerie, with crotchless panties, lace teddies and garter belts. Pink Lipstick leans toward clubs, raves and festivals, with net dresses, seam-free bodysuits and matching pasties. Many pieces cross over. A Pink Lipstick bodysuit works under a jacket for a night out, then on its own at home. Our cosplay facts shows how dressing up has grown from conventions into date nights.

Building an outfit

Start with a base, such as a teddy, bodysuit or bra set. Add René Rofé thigh highs and a garter belt for a classic look, or a fishnet bodystocking for full coverage. Finish with a costume piece or pasties for a themed night. These pieces mix well with the rest of our lingerie and apparel range.

Getting the size right

Many René Rofé and Pink Lipstick styles are one size fits most, made from stretch fabric. Others come in S/M and M/L, and a few Pink Lipstick styles reach 3X/4X. Check the size range on each listing, as it varies from style to style. If you are between sizes, choose the larger size for anything with a fitted bust.

Fabrics and feel

Nylon and spandex give most pieces a smooth stretch that moves with the body. Lace adds softness, while fishnet and crochet net show more skin. Seam-free styles have no side seams, so they sit flat under clothes. If you have sensitive skin, check the fabric list on the product page, as some trims use polyester.

Festival and party wear

Pink Lipstick is built for nights out. Festival Flirt and Feeling Fuzzy sets use bright colours and UV-reactive details for raves. Net dresses such as Roll Up and Spellbinding go over a bodysuit or bikini. Several sets come with matching pasties, so the look is ready to wear. Bring a light layer for the trip home, as most pieces are sheer.

First time wearing crotchless lingerie

Crotchless styles can feel bold at first. Start with an open-back panty, such as Dive Deep or All Tied Up, which shows less from the front. Then try a lace crotchless thong or boyshort with a matching bra set. Many people find the surprise works best when the outfit looks classic until the reveal. Wear it under a dress for a date night at home.

How the brands and categories compare

Here is how the main brands and categories line up.

Who International Intimates suits — and who should look elsewhere

These brands suit buyers who want playful, affordable lingerie, club wear and costumes. They also suit anyone trying crotchless styles or bodystockings for the first time.

They are not for buyers who want genuine leather, latex or structured corsetry. People who need a wide plus-size range should check each listing, as only some styles go above L.
