Lovehoney Fantasy Crotchless French Maid Ruffle-Back Knickers

Reviewed by Lagartha Lodbrok

My husband and I often enjoy our role-playing sessions and we decided to expand our scenarios. We decided upon a “French Maid” theme for our next playtime and, in preparation, I bought the Lovehoney Fantasy Deluxe French Maid Costume.

To complete the look, and in order to accessorize the costume, I wanted some sexy-looking knickers that would arouse my husband’s desires just as soon as he set eyes on me wearing them. With this in mind, I bought these lovely Lovehoney Fantasy Crotchless French Maid Ruffle-Back Knickers because they looked so naughty and exciting and they complemented my French Maid costume perfectly!

Given that I wear size 12, and that the product description explained that the model in the photographs “is a UK size 8 and wears One Size”, I have to admit that I was a little sceptical about the fit of these knickers. Sometimes “One Size” doesn’t fit all, but I decided to purchase them nevertheless.

Trying them on did not pose any problems for me. The elasticated waistband and mesh material of the knickers stretched easily over my thighs and hips and I thought how comfortable they felt. They did feel a larger size than I imagined they would be, but I was satisfied that they fit as comfortably as my usual size 12 underwear.

I like how the faux apron feature at the front mirrors the apron on the front of the Maid’s costume. Another sexy feature, the white ruffles at the back, creates the naughty look I was seeking, but the open crotch design surpasses this naughtiness. The open element of the crotch is wider than most knickers incorporating this feature and, edged in contrasting white piping, the aperture emphasises the openness.

I felt this open feature was a must for me for, in my role as a French Maid, I just knew that I would be doing a great deal of stretching up and bending over as part of my “chores”. I felt it important that my husband in his role of Master/Hotel Guest, needed to see just how wanton and naughty his Maid was and that I wanted him to feast his eyes on what I had on offer. When I wore both the French Maid costume and these knickers, I teamed them up with a pair of Baci Lingerie Vinyl Top Fishnet Thigh High Stockings to enhance the erotic image I wanted to create and to give my husband (in whatever role he was in) the impression of just how naughty this French Maid is!

With open crotch knickers such as these, there’s no awkward fumbling - just easy access - perfect in a role-playing scenario should we as the Hotel Guest and Room Maid be inadvertently caught in flagrante delicto by another Hotel Guest or co-worker! The effect of the entire ensemble on my husband (Hotel Guest) was more than both of us expected. He loves to see me wearing sexy outfits and underwear, such as these knickers, and this combination of costume and knickers is certainly one he’ll be looking forward to me wearing again very soon! I never felt that performing my “in-house” chores could be so naughty and enjoyable!

I am so pleased I was chosen to review this gorgeous piece of lingerie, thanks again!

I absolutely adore these undies, they are so flattering yet so much fun too. The packaging is simple yet effective. Just a cellophane bag, so if you are gifting this item I recommend a gift bag/wrapping. The tag is black and white following suit to the design of the lingerie. It reads 'Lovehoney Fantasy'. The tag cleverly does not state the price so you do not need to worry of the giftee knowing what you paid. On the reverse it says "Discover a sexier you" and you most certainly do discover exactly that when wearing this!

The undies are gorgeous black mesh material all round, with an adorable white mesh apron on the front, finished off with a cute black bow on top. The front of these undies is so kinky yet cute and adorable. The apron is not sewn down, so when bent over, it rests forward and so with every thrust, the apron moves with you... A very delicious, kinky touch I thought.

On the back, your eyes are rewarded with the most seductive and soft to the touch ruffles. 4 lines of beautiful lace ruffles compliment your derriere in the kinkiest way. When bent forward a little the ruffles are in the perfect place right on top of your cheeks. The ruffles are completed by a much larger, white bow. The bow really sets off the rear and the satin soft touch adds another gorgeous sensation with this piece of lingerie.

I am a size 14 bottom now and must say these are lovingly generous regards to size, they feel quite roomy on me however still very comfortable and flattering. These will definitely accommodate smaller sizes up to bigger sizes.

The crotchless gusset is incredibly sexy and makes you feel wonderful wearing something so kinky, unbeknownst to other people. The gusset is the same black mesh and is very stretchy. Don't be concerned about it being tight and uncomfortable for you down there, it really won't be!

This is my first piece of Lovehoney's costumes range and I am a big fan. It is made well, great quality and looks the part. I love how attention has been paid to detail on the front as well as the back. Even having a crotchless gusset to boot.

Dive into Lovehoney's costume range today you are missing out!

I already have a French Maid outfit but have been looking for some role play suitable underwear to go with it. These knickers are absolutely perfect for the job, though you could just as easily wear them without a kind of extra costume given that they just scream "Oh la la!" on their own.

I genuinely did a little squeal of delight when I opened the packaging - they are really quite adorable. Plain black with white piping, a white apron to the front and some flirty ruffles and a large white bow adorn the derrière area. The main material is a very very fine (but silky soft) mesh which makes the knickers slightly see though. The other accents are satin which feels sensual to the touch and gives the item a good quality feel.

These pants are crotchless which certainly adds a frisson of filth to your fun. I've only ever had 1 pair of crotchless pants before and they were, in short, horrid - itchy, scratchy, too tight, cheap and nasty beasties. To be fair, they came out of a vending machine on Blackpool seafront so what did I expect?! Either way, it kind of put me off getting any more. Well, I'm so glad I decided to try again because these beauties have completely changed my opinion. They are so very comfortable, I hardly felt like I was wearing anything. I didn't anticipate how sexy they would make me feel either - obviously, the naughty aspect of wearing crotchless is well known but I really relished the sensation of being partly exposed under my dress.

Given that these are One Size I anticipated them either being too tight or a bit baggy but, honestly, they are a perfect fit. I'm a size 12/14 with a relatively small waist and a fair amount of junk in the trunk. I don't know if I was just lucky to fall in the sizing sweet spot or if the stretchy material is vaguely magical but I have to award 11/10 for fit.

In terms of how they performed when in use I'd have to give full marks again. My Other Half loved the semi-open back and the tactile contrast between the mesh material and my warm skin. Obviously being able to keep the knickers on during sex is a big bonus, both practically and aesthetically. The opening is large enough to allow access to everywhere you need but not so open as to cause any uncomfortable ruckling of material. They also (hand) wash really well and the open gusset (yes, I said it!) seems to have stood up well to the rigours of my OH's explorations.

A lovely pair of crotchless pants to enhance an existing outfit or start a new one.
