School has definitely given me some real, and I mean real writers block this past month and a half. So when it was time to write about some sexy underwear I received from Lovehoney, I honestly didn’t know how to start my review because I didn’t want it to sound lame or write a short review that didn’t do the product justice. Then I thought about it and said to myself “Tiffy, your taking this way too seriously. It’s just underwear.” But it’s not just underwear, its sexy underwear. Its crotcthless panties for crying out loud!
If you don’t know who Lovehoney is, they are an online company that sells Sexual Wellness products (aka sex toys), bondage gear, lingerie, and much more. They ship their products worldwide, are very discrete, and have a 365 day, no questions asked return policy. So if you don’t like what you bought for any particular or no particular reason at all, you can return your purchase. No questions asked. Now onto the Panties!
The Lovehoney Captivate Me Wet Look Crotchless Panty is a pair of sexy underwear that is made to emphasize your sexy parts with a bikini style cut and ruching in the back to make that booty pop. It’s made with 90% polyester and 10% spandex. The glossy, shiny black material gives a nice “wet look” and to add to the sexiness, there’s no crotch on these panties so you can keep them on and still “get your groove on”. The panties are available in a “base size” which is supposed to fit a UK 4-14 and a “Plus size” which is supposed to fit a UK 16-22.
Let’s talk about the material and presentation of these undies. They came in simple plastic wrapping with no bells or whistles. The material looks very “pleathery” to me and has a grip-like plastic feeling to them. There is a Lovehoney metal charm in the center which is sewn on with thread. And I will say that the plus size of the material is stretchier and has more give than the base size. I also noticed that allot of the details like the placement of the Lovehoney logo, the ruching in the back and the sewing of the crotch-less area are done by hand, as I can see all of the imperfections from the sewing. Especially in the crotch area. Spoiler alert: there is a crotch in these panties. However, there is a slit that can be parted so you have to take them off if you want to, I don’t know, have sex of any kind. Yea, you can do with these and keep them on. Anal sex however may be a challenge since the slit isn’t very long. Pulling the underwear up or down in the right position may fix that problem but by then you probably going to want to take them off anyways.
I will say however, that while these are comfortable, they are NOT for all day wear, unless you really like them. Why? Well for one: they are not made with the most breathable material. So it may hold onto to trap odor. Two: If you’re a person that produces allot of discharge during the day, I would not recommend putting these on for hours at a time, unless you’re planning to get your freak on. Like you put them on before getting naughty. I would categorize these undies under costume lingerie because of the material. Also, because it is suggested that you wash them by hand, I don’t think it will last very long. But I think you could get a couple uses out of it before it shows any wear and tear.
When it came to deciding which size to request, I was lost in the sauce. I assumed the base size wouldn’t fit, because I figured the largest size it was meant to accommodate was a size 14. I’m a size 14, so I thought it would probably not fit or squeeze me in a way that would emphasize my muffin top and not my cute butt. I decided to go with the plus size, assuming that it would stretch out and form to my size.
I received both sizes to try out and here is my opinion on them. The base size is did not fit me. It squeezed allot and instead of bringing out my sex side, it brought out my muffin top, which is my other sexy side. I don’t think the base size can accommodate a size 14, being that it’s not very stretchy, which is weird because the material is stretchy, but doesn’t allow any give. So if you’re a person who is a size 14 or a size 12 or 10 even, and you have big curvy voluptuous hips, I would suggest going with the plus size version of these instead.
For me personally, the plus size fit me but didn’t come up all the way which ended up leaving come crack out, if you know what I mean. Which was fine, but that ruching in the back was not cute on me. It did make my booty pop, but I really didn’t like it. I will say that the ruching was the only reason that the panties didn’t fall off of me being that the material was brought together in the back. But I think that ruching was why I ended up with some crack left out. If it was just a smooth piece of material in the back, it probably wouldn’t have fit.
Fortunately for you, whatever size you order, if they don’t fit, you can always return them as Lovehoney has a 365 day no questions asked return policy. So sizing shouldn’t really be an issue since you can always return them if you’re not satisfied.
Overall, I think the Lovehoney Captivate Me Wet Look Crotchless Panty are ok. There is a good amount of handmade imperfections with this underwear and some sizing issues due to the “one size fits all” concept and can make picking a size out a bit frustrating. I think they are pretty cute and can make your booty pop, but don’t care for the ruching in the back. For the price ( $16.99 US) they could be made a bit better. However, if your looking for a pair of sexy underwear for role play or bondage play, These might be for you.
