You can conduct experiments in your underwear!
We loved Ceilidhe Wynn’s blog post about
wearing lingerie to bed for a week … it was an amazing and realistic account of
what it’s like to be a mum, to be in a long-term relationship, to be not
entirely confident about our own bodies - and what happens if we trust
ourselves and give our wants, needs and desires a little more space in our
lives. What we particularly enjoyed was section, “I was feeling so tired after
a full day of momming that I almost said eff this and put on my favorite
old t-shirt on Night Two. But instead, I choose a grey nightie that's silky on
the bottom and lacy on the boob area. I used to wear this to bed as a regular
pajama for a very short time when I believed that "real adult women"
wore sophisticated and classy negliges to bed. But it turns out that
sophisticated and classy negliges aren't actually comfortable. As I got into
bed, I was feeling so exhausted and I really just wanted to roll over and go to
sleep, but because I was wearing lingerie I thought I should put in a bit of an
effort and at least talk to the guy. We ended up talking and kissing and
cuddling and it led to me feeling less tired and more sexy and suddenly sex
didn't seem like such a bad idea anymore; in fact, it seemed like the best idea
ever. So, we had ourselves some.”
What a great story!
Don’t trust everything you read about lingerie online
On the other hand - the story of an online hack
who spent three months trying to write fake reviews for an online lingerie
retailer is just ghastly. The poor guy had to write about women’s underwear,
with which his experience was clearly limited and ended up being constantly
told his work was not good enough. While you might ask questions about what
caused him to take on work that he must have known was fraudulent and designed
to deceive the buying public, it tells us a lot about how ‘stack it high and
sell it cheap’ online retailers work. That’s why our team consists of real life
people who actually do their jobs for a decent wage and build relationships
with each other and with our customers. So if you see underwear described as
‘coruscating’ or having ‘plenitude of room’, remember that it probably means
some more student has being writing fake reviews for a few pennies a day.
Reader question - what lingerie is best for tattoos?
This is a great question, which doesn’t have
just one answer but we have a few ideas:
1 - mesh underwear like our black ruffle babydoll is always a winner because it allows tattoos to be seen through an
elegant sheer fabric, like a veil over a beautiful face.
2 - colour coordination is also cool - so if
your tattoo is glowing yellow, pick up that colour in your underwear, as seen
in our yellow Charmeuse chemise with sweet side lacing
3 - don’t buy new lingerie until your tattoo is
totally healed. It’s best to stick to wearing your old undies while your tat is
healing, as there’s always the risk of staining your gorgeous new scanties if
you wear them before your tattoo is completely scab free.
