A Short and Sexy Guide to Valentine’s Lingerie.
Ah, Valentine’s Day. A day for love, a day for romance, a day for showering that special person with gifts and romantic poetry. And let’s not forget – it’s a day for Valentine’s lingerie. If there is any single day of the year that should have you racing off to the shops and filling up your panties draw, it’s Valentine’s Day. Love is in the air, and of course, it’s in the bedroom too. In fact, with some sexy Valentine’s lingerie, you won’t even need a present. Let your other half unwrap you this year.
What is Valentine’s Day?
First of all, what’s not to love about Valentine’s Day? Not that we need an excuse to profess our love to those around us, but it sure is an excellent excuse to do so. Now, depending on where you look, you are likely to hear a different version of Valentine’s Day. The truth is, no-one can exactly pinpoint where it originated.
If you chat to the pessimists, they will tell you it was created by Hallmark as a money maker…
But we prefer to add a little history and intrigue and makes the day a bit more magical. So here is our story:
It dates back to the third century when Rome was ruled by Emperor Claudius II Gothicus. His nickname was actually Claudius the Cruel because of how he abused his people and ended up in wars left, right, and center. So, his recruitment for the army was failing, and he believed the reason was that Roman men didn’t want to leave their loved ones behind—his solution: to cancel all marriages and engagements.
It took a Christian priest named Valentine to stand up for love, secretly marrying soldiers before they went off to war. He was unfortunately caught and executed, but his self-sacrificing commitment to love has become legend.
So there we have it: Valentine’s Day was born, and today is still celebrated every February 14.
Celebrating Valentine’s Day
There are so many different ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day, from a romantic movie to a lovely dinner for two. But what it all comes down to is the end of the evening, in the bedroom, together. So here we have your short and sexy guide to Valentine’s lingerie options.
Now, before we even make it to the bedroom, you want to make sure you set the right tone for the evening. Here are some fantastic tips to help you out:
- Get on the same page: ask your partner to write a list of things they want to try in the bedroom, and you make one as well. Swap lists and circle anything you would be up for trying on theirs and vice versa. In the end, you should come out with a few common ideas to get started. Valentine’s Day is the perfect chance to try something new in the bedroom.
- Keep the meal light: how many times have you headed out to dinner with the intention of naughty time later that evening… but then found you had eaten far too much and the mood was gone? Do not worry; it happens to the best of us. Plus, it can be avoided with a little forethought beforehand. Keep the meal light and even skip dessert this year… that can come in the bedroom. Or, even better, jump in the bedroom before dinner!
- Avoid the disappointment: there is so much pressure placed on Valentine’s Day each year, it can lead to a lot of disappointment all around. Take the pressure off by chatting to your partner beforehand about your plans for the day, both in terms of where you are going together and whether there will be gifts exchanged or not. There is nothing like a little disappointment over the lack of a gift to turn you away from the bedroom.
- Don’t overspend: the saying goes, ‘it’s the thought that counts,’ and this is especially true on Valentine’s Day. It’s no secret that flowers and cards can get expensive, so why not skip this altogether and instead write a poem of special note that you both can cherish forever.
- Get romantic: romance starts outside the bedroom. It’s those little gestures you make on your date, from opening doors, pulling chairs out, to a foot rub-down the leg, or sharing a dish together. All this action adds to the closeness between the two of you and shows you the care.
When it’s finally time for the bedroom, we have you sorted with this fabulous guide to Valentine’s lingerie.
Open Cup Lingerie
Valentine’s Day is a time to experiment a little in the bedroom and discover some new and exciting pieces of Valentine’s lingerie. Open cup lingerie is both convenient and sexy. The idea behind them? To have your breasts on display loud and proud. Often our best assets are our breasts, and your partner will wholeheartedly agree with this. Instead of covering them up in lingerie, go the opposite way and have them out in full view!
It’s the perfect way to surprise your partner and spice things up a little in the bedroom. It gives your other half the anticipation of what they can see but can’t yet touch. Foreplay is all sorted for you. It’s seductive, it’s fun, and it’s so, so easy to do.
There are so many different options for open cup lingerie, from bra sets to babydolls, teddies, chemises, and more. You can find a little something to suit your style and make things a little more interesting and exciting in the bedroom this year.
Open Crotch Lingerie
Just like open cup lingerie, but downstairs instead. Open crotch lingerie is the perfect way to heat things up in the bedroom – or even while out and about beforehand. Use this guide to Valentine’s lingerie to help you out.
Whether you are out to dinner or seeing a movie together, with just a slide of your partner’s hand down your legs, you can build the anticipation of what’s to come. Even better, you don’t have to wait. Open crotch lingerie has the bonus of easy access, so no matter where you are if the opportunity arises – you are ready!
Open crotch lingerie also comes in so many different forms, and don’t worry, you are also covered for winter with crotchless leggings. You can opt for a crotchless g-string, an open crotch chemise, crotchless tights, crotchless panties, and so much more.
The trick? Wear them on your night out and make your other half aware of it from the beginning. Then sit back and see where the night takes you.
Sexy See Through Lingerie
When it comes to sexy lingerie, the whole point is to work as a turn on. So, it stands to reason that having sexy see-through lingerie will achieve just that! It’s the perfect way to build anticipation and excitement without giving it all away.
There are a lot of benefits that come with wearing sexy see through lingerie. It makes you feel free and light, holding your body in a confident manner, with a tease over what can and can’t be seen.
You can choose from so many different styles to suit both your tastes and body shape. There’s babydoll sets, sheer underwear, see through teddies, and much more.
Role Play Lingerie
Some couples just love role play and will do something each time they are in the bedroom. Other couples have never really explored it. Well, Valentine’s Day is the perfect chance to dust off those costumes and get into character.
There are plenty of lingerie outfits out there to fit any role play scenario. Either head out and pick something as a surprise or get your partner’s input in the decision and shop together. You need your partner on board for this one; otherwise, it will end up very one-sided!
Have some fun with it, and if you are out to dinner beforehand, have a go at getting into character them. It will lead its own way into the bedroom, where you are both already feeling comfortable and well into your established character rolls. Whether your relationship is new or old, this is the perfect way to spice things up and keep them interested.
Still not sure what to get? Don’t worry, there’s a solution for that. Instead, buy a gift voucher for your favorite lingerie store and give it to your other half and tell them to go pick out something for you. Make sure you give them your correct size and measurements – and also let them know if there is anything you are uncomfortable wearing. This way, it’s a gift for both of you to really enjoy.
But, let’s be honest, when it comes to Valentine’s day lingerie, you can’t really go wrong. It is the day for love – all you need to do is help it along and keep things interesting. Most importantly, have fun with it. It will be a night for you both to remember.
