Men’s guide to lingerie this Valentines Day.

  

Valentines Day can be very daunting for some men… especially when it comes to choosing valentines gift for the loved one.

 

So I have put together this short blog post to help answer some of your questions and also to give you some possible gift ideas.

 

I think the first question you need to ask yourself is…

 

What does you partner usually like to wear on a romantic evening? Is it a sexy bra set?

Or perhaps a stunning babydoll?

Even an eye catching and very romantic chemise…

 

Abi Chemise

 

 

or does she simply love to wear  just a sexy thong?

Now that you have established what they like to wear you can't go wrong… Simply ask yourself a few more questions and you will be on the right track.

 

What is her favourite colour?

Women like to look and dress sexy all the time and not just on Valentines day! so it is worth taking a quick peek in her lingerie drawer when she is out to get an idea of her preferred choice of colours. Many valentines lingerie items come in a range of colours not just red so you will be spoilt for choice but most can be worn again on other occasions too.

 

 

What materials does she like to wear?

Ladies like to feel comfortable in their lingerie, so put plenty of thought into what would make them feel in the romantic mood… this could gain you some extra brownie points too! Think along the lines of silky or satin materials, feeling luxurious is always a winner.

 

 

Finally… and most importantly is the size!!! 

Never try to guess your partners size! If you get this wrong and choose too small she will be disappointed and have nothing to wear and if you choose too big… well your on your own on that one.

Have a peek in her lingerie drawer and take a note of some of the sizes she wears daily. Make sure you take note of both the bra size and brief or thong size if you are looking at a bra set for her. If you are looking to surprise her with a babydoll or chemise then look at her dress or top sizes as this is what they are usually measures in ie: UK12.

 

 

I am sure that whatever you choose she will love as long as it shows that you have put some thought into it and not just picked up the first thing you saw.

Pearl & Lace Lingerie to Invoke Suggestion!

 

www.moonriseatmidnight.co.uk

 

There are just some instances when you're buying sexy underwear & lingerie that it's worth remembering that it's about the idea of invoking suggestion, depending on the occasion of course! That's not to say sexy lingerie shouldn't make you look and feel absolutely fabulous about yourself, of course it should, but you can also get a lot of fun out of it. So I've put together a little mix & match combo, that's a bit on the naughty side, but should create that wonderful idea of suggestion!

 

Pearl Thong & Bra Set

 

This pearl thong & bra set is the perfect guilty pleasure, not only is it beautiful in its minimalistic design with strings of pearls & black lace banding but it can be enjoyed by both! It's a lovely sexy little number that can be enjoyed in the bedroom but can be a great teaser if you're brave enough to wear it out and let your partner know about it! It's sure to get the imagination working....

 

 

Pearl Thong & Bra Set

 

Lace V Crotchless Thong
 

The idea of wearing a pearl thong maybe isn't everyones cup of tea, but if you're still wanting to be a bit adventurous, I'm putting this lace v crotchless thong into the mix. It's proven to be our most popular crotchless thongs this year so far. Open briefs or crotchless thongs can be great fun, especially for teasing and stimulating the idea of suggestion between the pair of you.

 

See this 'Lace V Crotchless Thong' in Passion Pink!

 

 

I've added this thong because of its lovely black and white lace detailing that will work very well with the chemise beneath, as well as its popularity on Moonrise at Midnight.

 

We have a lovely little featurette of some of our crotchless thongs and underwear from Moonrise at Midnight on Youtube.

 

 

Crotchless Thongs & Underwear

Black Lace Chemise

 

The final piece of the puzzle to this little guilty pleasure suggestion is this black lace chemise made with versatile stretch lace. It's just a perfect finish to either the pearl thong and bra set or the lace crotchless thong. Black lingerie seems to always suggests seduction & sexy, and adding a bit of see through underwear like this lace chemise turns the heat up just a little bit more!

Dark Nights & Lace Lingerie!

Lace lingerie and underwear is considered very sensuous by most, it's light, pretty, flowing and yet very suggestive by being lightly revealing in some designs. It's a personal favourite, I find it very feminine and usually associate it with special occasions, such as dinner dates, nights out and for adding a touch of romance into the mix.

 

Lace Floral Chemise

I always associate lace underwear with weddings and honeymoon lingerie, especially white lace underwear brings with it its' own sense of innocence and purity traditionally connected with wedding lingerie. Lace chemises are very popular for honeymoon lingerie as they are great at showing off the figure as well as the tan!

 

Lace Ribbon Chemise

For the more adventurous ladies who wish to accentuate their figures and show off their curvy hips and midriff then a lace teddy, especially in black is one of the ultimates in sexy lingerie items for the top drawer! Although not thought of as the most practical of ladies underwear to be wearing out, the teddy is great fun for the bedroom and go just perfectly beneath a long nightgown at the end of an evening.

 

Lace Front Teddy

 

If it's extra shape and definition that you're looking for without the expense of a heavy boned corset then a bustier will bring support to your breasts while at the same time adding some shape and definition to your waistline.

Hot Lace Bustier

The beauty with a lace bustier is that it goes well with dresses and blouses and bring added confidence with the support it gives to your figure. Do be wary about wearing a lace bustier beneath light chiffon dresses as the lace can easily show through, not too bad if it's a lace overlay. It's amazing how much more confident a bustier can make you feel.

 

Naughty Secret Bustier

Finally, the addition of lace to a bra set can easily put it into your favourites drawer, the downside being that you wear it all the time! Why shouldn't you? If you like how it looks and the way it makes you feel about yourself then why be constrained by plain, non-patterned bras that just hold and support?

 

Eleganza Lace Bra Set

Don't forget when you're getting a new bra to get measured or measure yourself to see if your size has changed. I often find it better to work with my own measurements in inches as bras from different manufacturers even though maybe a 34B might measure slightly differently.

Mon Amour Lace Bra Set

I know what I'm about to say sounds like a bit of a sales pitch, but I'm not the only woman who does this when they absolutely fall in love with a bra set, I buy a second pair of briefs or thong to go with it. It never feels quite right when your underwear doesn't match, especially if you're not the only one who'll be seeing it!

 

Bangkok Hold Ups

The addition of a pair of black lace hold ups can often add that extra bit of heat to your lingerie ensemble, and if you can find them to match your new sexy lace bra set then you're sure to create the right impression!

A Guys Guide to buying the Perfect Valentines Lingerie

Its that time of year again guys...The dreaded Valentine's Day, where you want to treat your partner to something a bit special but have no idea what she wants or would like!

Well, you are in luck! We are here to help... with some amazing hints and tips, you will be sure to get it right this year.

Firstly there are the traditional Chocolates - Women love chocolate! Other than the Christmas advent calender and Easter, it is the only time women can eat chocolate without thinking of their diets. 

Secondly there are Flowers - Women love to get flowers, it makes them feel special and shows them that you care.

Finally there is LINGERIE - Lingerie is a tricky one but if you get it right then you will definitely be in her good books... if you know what I mean.

To help you along, here are a few suggestions and pointers on how to win those vital brownie points:-

*What size is your partner?

Yes, you've guessed it...you must go and check through the dreaded top draw to find her correct size.

If you are looking to buy a bra set you will need both her bra size including the cup size (which is the letter after the number, ie;36C) and also her brief / thong size. The brief / thong size could be either Small, Medium, Large and so on, or it could be UK8, UK10, UK12 ect. 

I would advise you check a few different ones to make sure you haven't picked up an old one that she just hasn't thrown away yet.

If you are choosing a Babydoll, Basque, Bustier, Chemise or Corset then the size will normally be her dress size of which you will find on many of her clothes. Again I would advise that you check more than one item to make sure you have the correct size (check something that you know she wears a lot). I would also say to check both tops and bottom to get a better idea of the type of lingerie would best flatter her. 

For instance if your partner is pear shaped (bigger on top than bottom) then you require something that will even her shape and flatter her, rather than something that will fit on top and be too tight on the bottom half of her... this will just make her feel uncomfortable.

Babydolls are great for pear shaped figures as most of them are fitted around the bust area then flow down her body and whisp out around the bottom, making her look and feel sexy.

Here are a few examples...



Great Valentine's Lingerie Ideas

If your partner it tall and slim then there are many types of lingerie that would be a suitable choice... 

There is the traditional Bra Set this always goes down well, but look at purchasing a set that your partner could also wear again as it will inspire confidence when she wears it and the set will also make her feel as special as she does on Valentines day more often through out the next few months...always a plus!

 

 

Next there is a simple Thong. There are many out there with stunning detail like the one below, this will help promote a sexy seductive feel and it shows her that you have thought about her and not just bought any old lingerie in the hope if will suffice.



Gorgeous Willow Thong, just great for a Valentine's Gift

 Finally, you have very sexy... If your partner likes wearing extremely sexy lingerie on a regular basis, how about a Teddy? not only is this make her feel sexy but it shows that you notice what she wears and that you have taken the time to look for the perfect Valentines Gift for her...everyone's a winner.

 

Beautiful & Seductive 'Victoria' Teddy with rhinestone heart!

If your partner is curvier and smaller them the are still plenty of options to choose from...Many of the above are available in plus size as there is no reason why a curvier lady should not wear pretty sexy lingerie! Other options are Bustiers and Corsets as these help to shape your ladies natural figure.

The stunningly sumptuous 'Savannah' Satin Corset

 Babydolls & Chemises



Elegant lace babydoll with matching thong

Briefs

Sexy Jasmine Brief with runching & front satin bow

Hold Ups

'Georgia' Red & Black Hold Ups - Perfect finishing touch for Valentines Day

My final piece of advice would be to keep an open mind when choosing the colour of lingerie. Women like a wide variety of colours so don't just stick to red... look at others such as pinks & blacks and when you are in that dreaded top draw looking at sizes, keep an eye open on the colours that she already has in there and also if you know her favorite colour then use that to your advantage too!

Happy Shopping!
