Lovehoney Tempt Me Dot Mesh Crotchless Suspender Knicker
If you’re tempted, definitely get these
I am continually impressed with the designs flying out from Lovehoney lingerie and in my opinion, the ranges are getting better each and every time. I lusted after this line from the second I spotted these knickers and I knew it would be another range I had to buy everything from. I purchased the knickers, matching bra and chemise set after noticing the range was sadly being discontinued not long after its arrival and I’d recommend doing the same if you don’t want to miss out!
The knickers arrived quickly along with the other items I’d ordered, in the usual Lovehoney style of a simple plastic packet with tag attached. It’s not exciting packaging by any means, but their lingerie speaks for itself and tearing the packaging open to get to it is a given. I would suggest wrapping the set up first if you’re planning on purchasing this for your partner as I’m sure the effort will be appreciated.
As I removed the knickers from the packaging, I instantly fell in love with the colouring. I am not usually one for pink underwear, but I do like shades of wine/raspberry and this one is absolutely perfect. I must give credit to the design team at Lovehoney because the detailing on these knickers is fantastic. There’s the traditional Lovehoney heart charm in gold in the centre of the waistband, which contrasts perfectly with the shade of pink. The back features gorgeous criss-cross lace-up detailing, which truly takes these knickers go from nice to wow.
They are fantastically made, as per all Lovehoney underwear, with not a scrap of material out-of-place. The lace wasn’t frayed in the slightest and it felt nice to the touch, albeit slightly rougher than the lace used in the Love Me line. It seemed to be high quality and it didn’t feel itchy or irritating when it made contact with my skin. These knickers have been put together perfectly and have managed to maintain the high standards I’m used to from Lovehoney’s lingerie lines.
I am a size four to six on the bottom but usually find the small (6-8) in Lovehoney sizing fits well, although slightly loose at times. These knickers fit me absolutely perfectly and have plenty of stretch in them to accommodate a curvy size eight/small ten. I love these because they’re not as low-rise as some of the other knickers Lovehoney have introduced recently, although the criss-cross detailing does make it feel like they sit slightly lower in the back.
I think they sit fabulously on my frame and are some of the most flattering knickers that I’ve ever worn. They really shape my derrière and draw all the attention away from other areas that I’m insecure about such as my upper thighs. They’re also surprisingly comfortable. I was half expecting to not want to wear these for long periods of time and thought the straps around the crotch would be irritating, but they are in fact the opposite. These are some of the comfiest bedroom knickers that I’ve ever worn and I definitely won’t be in a rush to take them off.
They are crotchless, so can be kept on during sex thanks to the easy access and I was pleased to find that this feature isn’t obvious from the front, as this will be a surprise to my partner once he gets to see these on. The open crotch sits nicely on my body and isn’t too wide that it becomes tacky but it’s also not too small that it’s useless.
I’m quite short at 5ft, so I expected the suspenders to be too long for me even when they were fully adjusted, but this wasn’t the case. I can actually attach stockings to these knickers rather than having to remove them and resort to hold-ups, which is a lovely change. I like that the feedback from us shorties seems to have paid off as the last two pairs of suspender knickers I’ve ordered from the own brand ranges have both been able to do this.
Overall, I really like these knickers. I can’t find anything to dislike as everything from the design to build quality and fit is absolutely perfect. They look fantastic paired with the matching bra or babydoll. I would highly recommend them.
Overall Rating: 10 out of 10 stars
Pros: Everything!
Cons: N/A
Bottom Line: Wonderful knickers. Definitely worth getting whilst you still can.
