Lingerie Accessories
The Google product category ID for Lingerie Accessories is 2563. It sits under Underwear & Socks and has 2 subcategories of its own, so it is a predefined value you can send as it stands — but one of those 2 is usually the closer answer, and an interior category fits when a product genuinely spans the ones below.

Lingerie AccessoriesGarter Belts
The longest route down from here runs 1 more level, ending at Garter Belts (2160) on level 5: Lingerie Accessories › Garter Belts. Most branches stop sooner than that — the figure to compare it against is the seven levels Google's taxonomy allows, not the depth of the branch next door.

Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (2563) or the full path ("Apparel & Accessories > Clothing > Underwear & Socks > Lingerie Accessories"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone. Before sending it, check whether one of the 2 subcategories below fits — a narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things.
Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.

This path has no comma, so an unquoted cell holds it as it stands — which is not true of every category in the taxonomy. The numeric ID, 2563, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.

Questions about Lingerie Accessories
What is the Google product category ID for Lingerie Accessories?
2563. The full path, "Apparel & Accessories > Clothing > Underwear & Socks > Lingerie Accessories", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.
Should I use Lingerie Accessories or one of its subcategories?
Prefer a subcategory when one fits: Lingerie Accessories has 2 directly below it, starting with Garter Belts (2160), Garters (1675), and 2 in total further down. 2563 is itself a predefined value, so an interior category is not an error — it just groups the product more broadly than a subcategory would.
Where does Lingerie Accessories sit in the taxonomy?
At level 4, under Underwear & Socks (213). The chain from the top is Apparel & Accessories → Clothing → Underwear & Socks → Lingerie Accessories. If your product does not belong under Underwear & Socks, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Lingerie Accessories is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Underwear & Socks first — there are 12 other categories at this level: Bra Accessories (7207), Bras (214), Hosiery (215), Jock Straps (5327), Lingerie (1772), Long Johns (1807), and 6 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Underwear & Socks (213) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How much more specific can I get than Lingerie Accessories?
1 level more. The longest route down from Lingerie Accessories is Lingerie Accessories > Garter Belts, ending at Garter Belts (2160) on level 5. Not every branch below Lingerie Accessories runs that far, so the category that fits your product may stop earlier than this one does.
How big is Lingerie Accessories compared with the categories next to it?
It is second largest of the 13 at its level, carrying 2 categories below it. A bigger category is not a better one — it just means more of the taxonomy is still open below you after you pick it.
What is the difference between Lingerie Accessories and Lingerie?
They sit side by side under Underwear & Socks and start with the same word, which is why they get swapped. Lingerie Accessories is 2563; Lingerie is 1772. The paths are the reliable way to tell them apart — compare "Apparel & Accessories > Clothing > Underwear & Socks > Lingerie Accessories" with "Apparel & Accessories > Clothing > Underwear & Socks > Lingerie" before you submit.
