The cover of the July issue of the magazine's German edition shows the players posing in a very risque version of the national team's black and white soccer uniform, including very low-cut tops and bikini bottoms.
The five players said they agreed to participate in the erotic photo shoot to help throw off the perception that they were all tomboys.
"With these photos, we want to disprove the cliche that all female footballers are butch," Germany midfielder Kristina Gessat told the magazine.
"The message is: look, we are very normal — and lovely — girls!"
Midfielder Julia Simic said, "More and more sweet, pretty girls are playing football who also go shopping and place value on their appearance."
Germany's been a perennial women's soccer power for years and is preparing to host the World Cup, which begins June 26.

Nina van Splunter of German Playboy, said: 'For us, this makes a lot of sense.
'Everyone knows how popular football is in Germany and, just like their male counterparts, the female team are very successful.
'The girls we have used are not yet first-team players with Germany, but they have all represented their country at various levels.
Van Splunter added: 'We have only just published, so we're waiting to hear comments.
'There was not agreement - we didn't ask the DFB, we went direct to the ladies.
'But it should be OK, otherwise they would have been told not to do it by their clubs."

In the accompanying interview, Gessat says: 'The message is, look, we are normal - and lovely - girls.'
