Accessories for the Boudoir – Toolbelts

June 24, 2008 by Rene

If you have read our article on masks and blindfolds for the boudoir and made a purchase, you are probably ready for more boudoir accessories. This time, TLP looks at utility belts for your lingerie kit. Visit our past boudoir articles on wallpaper, storage, lighting, furniture, and pillows.

Spoylt may well have invented the female utility belt. At the very least, they have made it sassy. They offer three choices including the Decadence, Mae, and Seduction. List prices are around $240, but they are 50% off.

Spoylt also offers this Temptation Party Garter for $75.00, but if you order quickly, Spoylt is offering 50% off.

f.online in Australia offers this dusty pink female tool belt. It is $90 US and is also available in leather by special order.

Female First is one of many retailers offering this Hustler brand utility belt. Click here for more retailers. Although it doesn’t show well in these revealing photographs, there are two loops in the back and possibly clips on the side. Pick it up for £39.99.

If you think of yourself as more pragmatic and crafty, Etsy may have a sensibly priced option for you at $25. It’s not quite as flamboyant as the other offerings, but would still look smashing with a matching pink set.

Review: Secret Xentials

April 19, 2008 by Kelly

Last month, I showed you Secret Xentials thigh-highs: hosiery that holds small essentials you don’t want to leave home without. We got a great response from you, so Secret Xentials sent me a black pair to try out myself. And good news: they are great, and do exactly what they are supposed to do!

I was surprised when the sizing chart put me squarely in a size larger than I usually wear. I went ahead and asked for the recommended size, but they did seem to run pretty large and I should have sized down. So if you’re in doubt or on the edge of sizes, try ordering a size smaller than chart recommends. When I first took them out of the package, I was concerned that the elastic was too easily seen though the lace and would ruin the look. As soon as I put them, however, on the elastic was invisible so I looked great! It worked, too – they didn’t slip or slide down all night. One thigh-high in each pair has a small pocket in the scalloped lace to hold personal items. It is the perfect size for my credit card and a key, so I can go out for a short night without carrying a purse full of things I don’t really need.

I appreciated that the heel and toe were not reinforced, and they were soft and comfortable to wear. You can get a pair for yourself in black, white, or nude for about $15 from the Secret Xentials website, Oh Cheri! (with free shipping), or some boutiques.

Secret Xentials Thigh-Highs

March 11, 2008 by Kelly

Here’s some pretty neat hosiery that I just had to share: Secret Xentials thigh-highs. They were recently previewed on CNBC’s “Next Big Idea with Donny Deutsch,”and with good reason. It’s a surprisingly simple idea – put little pockets on thigh-highs to carry around small essentials – but one that took until recently to hit the market. You can use these pockets to carry anything you might need, like family planning products, sanitary items, good luck charms, or anything else you don’t have the pockets for!

These would make a great bridal shower gift, giving the new bride a new way to carry that “something old” or “something blue” down the aisle. You can find them at lingerie shops or order online from the Secret Xentials website.
