Lovehoney Red Hourglass Suspender Bodystocking

Another brilliant item from the Lovehoney brand. This is the fourth Lovehoney Bodystocking I have tried on, and it is the fourth one I have absolutely loved.

As always, the Lovehoney branded packaging is fab. It uses an appropriate amount of packaging, not going over the top and wasteful like some companies insist on doing. It is also suitable for those of us who have drawers full of lingerie, and for those who are maybe new to dressing sexy, and wouldn't want anything to in your face or overtly sexual.

The colour is gorgeous, red is a favourite of mine anyway, so this plays right into my hands. Especially as it also combines one of my other favourite things - fishnet. The two combined are definitely a winner.

The material is really soft, and lovely to wear, it feels wonderful against my skin and is comfortable enough to wear for a decent length of time. It will also feel lovely to a partner who might enjoy running their hands over your body as you wear it.

The sheer panel that covers the torso is well placed to give a lovely shape to the body. So if you're looking for a bit of a confidence boost, this item would be perfect.

This item also washes well, and has a good amount of elasticity to it, so it can weather a bit of rough handling too if that's your thing. The stretch will also allow for it to fit a wide range of sizes.

I am 5ft 10in and a size 8 and it fits me perfectly, but I would not hesitate to recommend it for a wide variety of different shapes and sizes. I think it is definitely up to the job of making us all look super sexy.

I highly recommend this, whether you are a bodystocking pro, or someone who is looking to try for the first time. This item won't disappoint.

This item arrived in the usual Lovehoney fashion, packaged discreetly so no one will know what’s inside, and by a tracked delivery service so that you know exactly when to expect your parcel.

Removing the garment from its pretty cardboard box, you’ll find it nicely packaged in clear plastic to keep it safe.

The colour of the garment is a nicely vibrant red, and the fabric is soft and stretchy. It’s designed as One Size to fit size 6-16, and I think that it would do this easily and be extremely flattering on a range of body shapes and sizes. I’m size 12 and it fits well but would definitely have enough elasticity in the fabric to accommodate larger sizes while still looking great.

The style is really pretty because it combines different types of materials - the attached stockings are fishnet style, and so is the back of the bodystocking, while the front is more covering although still very see-through.

Because of the material being so clingy, it fits tightly around the breasts and is very enhancing, especially because of the material showing details like nipples through the fabric. Because of this, I’d really recommend it to people who are looking for an outfit that is revealing but quite supportive. The little spaghetti shoulder straps are very cute too and look delicate in a sexy kind of way. The fishnet sections are very sturdy so there’s no need to worry about snagging them on anything or having them ladder.

It’s extremely comfortable to wear and the fabric feels really soft against the skin. It’s definitely the kind of thing that you could wear all evening if you wanted to. I wore it underneath a dress and it just looked like red fishnet stockings until removing the dress and revealing that it was a full bodystocking, which is so much fun to do and makes this bodystocking even more versatile.

When I asked how I looked in this garment, I was told that it’s deeply slutty and has no class, but that sometimes that’s exactly what is wanted from a sexy outfit - something that looks like the kind of thing you’d see someone wearing in an Amsterdam window, something that is just purely dirty with no subtlety. I love wearing this outfit, it makes me feel very sexy and able to embrace my inner slut.

Would definitely recommend this bodystocking - it’s comfortable, sexy and sure to make you feel oh so confident!

Another addition to Lovehoney lingerie, and what an addition. As always, delivery and discreet packaging are ensured by Lovehoney's amazing dispatch service.

The packaging is basic itself, but much better than the quality you will get on the high street for these type of basic level items. It comes inside a clear cellophane bag, and has a cardboard sheet inside to ensure it holds its shape in the packaging, but also shows off the wonderful red lace. When you take it out, you may be a bit perplexed by the small size, but trust us when we tell you here is a lot of stretch! The OH is quite tall and this fit her perfectly both in shape and size. It's great how the one size can cater for most, and it still looks nice and fitted no matter what your size.

So that's the boring bits covered, now let's move onto the sexy stuff!

This body stocking has 3 amazing elements.

1) Fully lace back and sides, which is revealing, but also gives that amazing hourglass shape. The other half loved how this made her figure look, and felt very comfortable too.

2) Sexy long fishnet tights that run all the way up the legs. So you can have feeling her up from toes, all the way up to thighs. When you get to the thighs, you will be pleased to know it's all open, so you can show her just exactly how wild she has made you!

3) Suspender straps which complete the look. A great touch, and the beauty of just straps is that leave more bare skin for you to explore.

It didn't take long at all to get me worked up seeing her presented in red from top to bottom. This is an absolutely gorgeous piece, that looks so much better on than you would imagine when seeing it straight out of the packet.

A few of issues/observations:

1) The material is nylon but feels cotton. I would have loved a more silky or net style material used. This is a small thing, the other half said she felt incredibly sexy and comfortable wearing this.

2) The edges of the material around the suspender straps (running up and above the crotch/butt area) could have had better finishing. Perhaps if it had stitching to ensure it doesn't fray easily. To us, it looked incomplete and seemed like it may not last as long without fraying.

3) Red material that covers the bust and tummy could have been sexier. I get it's all a similar material but just felt the cotton feel material would have been much better if it was silkier or more transparent.

This is a hand wash and dry only item. Please do not accidently drop it into the washing machine, especially with your whites!

Overall, we both like this item. It's a simple no frills attached type of item. In terms of bodystockings, it has a lot of elements which really makes the piece stand out. It definitely looks better on, so don't judge it fully until you have worn it!
