EdenFantasys Review: Spanish lace peek a boo set

Sex toys - EdenFantasys adult toys store


The Spanish lace peek a boo set by Leg Avenue is made out of 100% nylon. The material isn't terribly itchy or horrible like some lingerie lower priced can be, but it does feel very fragile and I wouldn't trust this one to be machine washed. The directions do say to hand wash which is something I don't like doing, but when the other option is to have the garment fall apart... well sometimes we do what we've got to do. The label does say that it is Ok to tumble dry but it's thin enough that it doesn't really take a long time to dry on its own so hand washing isn't that big of a deal.

The piece has no back coverage, and as you can see there is barely any front coverage either so this is definitely not something that you will wear if you are hoping to keep warm while looking seductive.  The included matching G-String is made out of the same material which is too thin to be used for everyday wear. As in it's definitely for "lingerie use only" if you get what I mean. The G-String does fit me with full frontal coverage, but it gets twisted when pulled on and off so figuring out how to untangle it can be a pain. Though it is nice that the triangle in front isn't extremely small like some I have tried on.

Figuring out how to put it on can be slightly confusing at first. When everything is untied, it resembles an apron that you would wear around your waist. The shoulder straps are made out of a stretchy elastic that isn't much bigger than a ribbon, and the strap that ties front & center is a ribbon. Along with the two ribbons on each cup, you basically have this half circle shaped piece of red see through fabric with two black triangles (the cups) and a lot of ribbons hanging off of it! To put it on, you need to drape it around your back and then pull it together to tie it at the front and around the back of your neck. I do think it is more see through than it appears in the photos because it doesn't really hide anything.

I purchased this set several months ago, and unfortunately like most lingerie this does not look as good on me as it does on the model. I have grown used to the fact that the term "one size fits all" generally means "this won't fit me" but once in a while I decide to give it a chance. I really dislike the peek a boo cups because even though I do not have particularly large breasts, it feels like I would have been better off with an open cup style because the slits do not stay closed well enough to keep anything contained. Instead of having a small space in between my breasts, the gap is large even if the fabric meets where it ties in the center. This also makes it so that the material which covers the models belly so nicely, doesn't cover mine at all.

I guess it isn't terrible for a set that is priced under $20, and most men will think it looks fabulous regardless of what we think of it but if I don't feel good in what I'm wearing myself I have a hard time enjoying it. If it had even been a little larger in the cup size, it may have had an overall better fit. I think this may fit great on someone with a very small build but can't imagine this fitting well on anyone with larger than a B cup. While this set didn't work out for me, there are plenty of other pieces to choose from over at EdenFantasys and I would happily recommend them for your lingerie and adult shopping needs.

With just a month left until Valentines comes around, this is an excellent time to shop for a little romance! Use the code LOVEis before February 15th to save yourself 14% off at the checkout!

{Halloween Birthday Bash} Yandy.com


I have a confession to make - I love shopping for lingerie. Want to know what I love more than shopping for lingerie? Finding a piece that actually fits my body and leaves me feeling comfortable now that I have had four children. I suppose my husband is less picky than I am, he thinks I look great no matter what I'm wearing (or not). When I shop for new lingerie and look at the models in the photos I always have a hard time imagining what the item will look like on me.

My husbands absolute favorite gown for me to wear is several sizes too small, itches like crazy, and I down right hate it. He will swear up and down that I am only saying that because he likes it but you ladies might know what I mean. You know the mesh materials sometimes used in lingerie? Well, thats what it's made of, and it's horrible.

When I came across the Plus Size Stretch Lace Gown while looking around Yandy.com I had originally wanted to ask for the gown in black. You see, another thing that my husband and I disagree on when it comes to lingerie is color. I prefer black - he prefers white. I'm sure I'm not the only one to say that I feel more comfortable in black with it's slimming qualities! In the end, I decided that since this gown was so similar to the one that my husband likes so much that I would go with the white.


It arrived very quickly, and discreetly and as soon as I took it out of the package and felt the soft material I knew I was going to love it. As with any time I get new lingerie I ran off to the other room to try it on right away. Instead of squeezing into it and feeling the disappointment in the pit of my belly due to the gown not fitting I was overjoyed by the fact that it fit perfectly!

The shoulder straps are adjustable, so I was even able to tighten the bust to fit just right. The sheer ruffled trim seemed to help weigh the gown down and the included g-string fit comfortably as well. I could go on and on about how much I love this gown! I wish I could wear it all day, but since I can't I've got my eye on a few sexy dresses - among other things.

Yandy.com doesn't only sell lingerie, they've got you covered for Halloween too. I was amazed at the selection of plus size costumes, sexy halloween costumes, couples costumes, and even accessories like legwarmers, wigs, and wings!
