For Her

How To Buy A Woman Lingerie (The Right Way)

June 15, 2020 by Nicole Ellis

Walking into a lingerie department unprepared can make anyone feel overwhelmed. Lingerie shopping doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are 5 easy tips to set you help you pick her the perfect piece.

#1 Lingerie Investigator

Sales Associate: What cup size does she wear?

Man: *Hold hands up against chest and cups imaginary breasts.* Umm… like that big.

This happens on the daily. So, before you buy, do your research. Know what size they wear. You can do this, sneaking a peak at her bra and panties next time you take them off or you could just ask them. A little investigative work goes along way and will pay off in the end. There is nothing worse than buying your partner buying lingerie that the wrong size. Too big and you can make them feel like you think they are big and too small and they may feel bad about their body. Either way no one wins.

#2 Know Her Style

What colors does she like? What do you often see her wear? Does she enjoy black or colorful undergarments? If she is not normally a frilly person a pink piece of lingerie with lots of ruffles may not be the way to go. When in doubt, black is always a hot look. Remember this is about her not you. This is about making her feel sexy.

#3 Keep It Simple

That piece on the mannequin with 5 million straps looks hot right? Not if she can’t get it on it doesn’t. If once you take it off the mannequin it looks like a ball of ribbon, this is not the piece to start with. These things do not come with instructions. Keep that in mind. Instead keep it simple with pieces that are easy to get in and out of. If you still want a strappy piece their are many lingerie pieces that are strappy one or two piece options that you don’t need an engineering degree to get in/out of. One of our favorite ways to keep it simple yet really sexy is a great pair of panties and sexy robe. A lace or satin robe is a great piece to throw over any lingerie to make it more sultry.

#4 Ask for help

There is nothing wrong with asking an associate for assistance. No one expects you to know what every style and cut is called. We are here to help. Associates will know which brands/pieces run small, which cut will fit your partner’s body just perfectly, and can help with color/style choices and any needed accessories to complete the ensemble.

#5 Go Lingerie Shopping Together

Lingerie shopping can be a hot before dinner date for a post dinner activity (wink). Each of you pick out a few pieces for her to try on. She can give you little peeks from the dressing room. Make sure, when she is trying on lingerie for you, that you have an opinion on the piece. She wants to feel sexy. When she is asking what you think, don’t just give a shoulder shrug or say “I don’t know.”. It is a straight up mood killer. She buys 1 or 2 she likes, but doesn’t let you in on which pieces made the final cut. Later she can surprise you for a big reveal.

Stop by any of our 5 Velvet Box locations for a fantastic variety of lingerie for every style and every body type. We are here to help you find the perfect lingerie.

3 Sexy Last Minute Halloween Costumes

October 19, 2018 by Velvet Box

Did you know that halloween is just over a week away? With the days counting down until All Hallows Eve, our inboxes are filled with last minute costume party invites, costumed bar crawls and date night plans. But since I originally planned on having a night of scary movies and pizza, I have no costume prepared. And I know i’m not alone in this! So, I put together 3 last minute costumes, that are sexy as hell!

Black Swan

This gorgeous Dreamgirl teddy is perfect for an ultra sexy, super stressed out, possibly insane ballet dancer. Just pair with a tulle skirt, ballet flats and crown. There are several incredible tutorials on how to perfectly recreate this makeup on youtube. You could also throw on a pair of black wings with this look and be a dark angel.

Queen Of Hearts

“OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!!” Heads will roll when you show up in this incredibly hot get up. Our Dreamgirl velour teddy paired with any black skirt and the perfect red heels will have everyone painting the roses red for you. And as far as makeup looks go there are some killer ones! Bonus points if you add any nod to playing cards in your ensemble. You could also change that crown for a halo and add some wings and be Cupid.

Sultry Caped Crusader

This is my personal favorite. When I saw this image of this Teddy and Cape set from Allure, the first thing I thought was, “If Batwoman wore lingerie this is what it would look like.” So, I had to include this set in this post. Add a mask, gloves and the boldest lip ever and you’re almost ready to save the day. This belt-bag makes the perfect utility belt to hold your ID & phone so no need to carry that purse. This is not for the faint of heart. However, we do have another full glitter teddy by Allure that provides a bit more coverage.

We have lingerie for all shapes and sizes of beautiful bodies from XS – 4X! Stop in to any of our 5 locations and look at our selection and with a little creativity our team can help you come up with a sexy last minute costume.

10 Staff Favorites Under $100

August 8, 2018 by Velvet Box

Generally speaking, with sex toys, the phrase ‘You get what you pay for.’ is applicable. That $10 bullet from china that you got online, will most likely die at the most inopportune time, if it worked at all. The world of adult toys can be overwhelming. What works? What doesn’t? Were those reviews paid for? Is it a knock-off? Why is that vibrator $400!? These are all valid doubts you may have when purchasing a toy online. And while we do have several favorites in the $100-$200 range, there are quite a few new staff favorites that are well under the $100 mark. So, we narrowed it down to 10 of our staff’s favorite affordable hidden gems. This way you can get one, or build an entire bed side collection without breaking the bank.

1. Exposed Bullet $49.99 – Is it just me or do these look like the prettiest shades of lipstick that ever existed? I admit, that it was the sole reason I initially wanted to test one. However, when I took it out of the box I was truly in shock. The power was insane, even on the low setting! It truly out powers some of the higher end bullets on the market.

2. Jimmy Jane Massage Candles $29.99 – A candle that melts in to warm massage oil, that doesn’t leave you feeling sticky and gross. 2 years ago I wrote this article on these babies and our customers’ obsession with them. That obsession has only grown! Pro Tip – Let this burn while you’re in the shower and pour it on freshly shaven areas for an amazing moisturizer!

3. Pocket Pulse $89.99 – A powerful dual motored pocket stroker and the portable version of the world’s first Guybrator. The oscillating discs, give a completely unique experience unlike any other men’s toys on the market. Make waves when you try it under water.

4. Under-bed Restraint Kit $64.99 – No need to damage a bed post or put in a red room to be tied up with this kit. The weight of the mattress holds these straps in place for some incredible fun. This kit includes two pair of ankle/wrist cuffs and can be tucked under the mattress when not in use. This is the most versatile thing on the list, as this enhances the experience of everything else. Pro Tip – Pair this with a blindfold and a massage candle for an insanely good time.

5. Womanizer Starlet $89.99 – Will there ever be a time when we are not raving about the Womanizer toys? Probably not. These toys changed the game and we talked all about that here and here. The Starlet is the Womanizer Pro’s sweet little sister. She only has 4 functions instead of 11 and fits right in the palm of your hand. Available in 3 colors this baby is perfect to throw in your bag for a sleepover.

6. BlewIt! $74.99 – The first version of this baby sold out so fast it made our heads spin. So of course when version 2 came out, with more intense suction and faster drying time, we ordered triple the amount and sold out again. This affordable male masturbator is beautiful on the outside and an intense blow job party on the inside. You can also use your Blewit! as a phenomenal stamina trainer, to help you learn to last longer.

7. Red Hot Spark $79.99 – I mean… did you see that video? What else can I say about this? There are several insanely powerful flickering modes to drive you over the edge again and again. Furthermore, it makes a fantastic bathtub toy, as it is completely submergible.

8. Mini Plug $54.99 – $89.99 – The Mini Plug is a perfectly petite, yet super powerful anal plug, great for beginners and experts a like. It has 20 vibrating functions and a rocker base that fits snuggly between the cheeks. Available with remote so that you can change the setting without having to be an expert level yoga master.

9. My Secret Remote Controlled Vibrating Panty $74.99 – First of all, as powerful as this little guy is, whatever the secret is, it won’t be staying secret much longer. Super-powered and remote controlled with a discreet ring style controller, it’s sure to make your night out a lot more interesting. If worn to the movies, I recommend pairing with a ball gag to muffle the moans as not to disrupt other movie goers. Screaming 0 has an entire line of incredible rechargeable yet affordable toys.

10. Pivot $99.99 – Screeching in right under that $100 mark, is the Pivot by We-Vibe. Frankly, with it’s super rumbly motor, recharge-ability and app capability that lets you control it near or far, we are surprised it was affordable enough to make this list at all. This has been highly reviewed by several staff members and their partners. Finally, our customers are also a huge fan of the app’s ability to control the toy even from a separate country.

This is a small sampling of the amazing and affordable toy options here at Velvet Box. Come in and check out some of the other staff favorites. Pick them up, feel them and take few home. Start a sexy time kit, or just re-vamp a stale one. Whatever spice your looking for, we’ve got something for you.
