Summer is fast coming to an end—I know, I’m crying about it, too. Soon (if you live farther North, like I do), it’s going to get colder, and the snow will start to fall. BUT you don’t have to wait until Halloween to dress up in a costume. I’ve touched on this topic before, but Girlfriend’s Lingerie now has new Sexy Costumes up on their site, so I thought this was a good time to delve into it a bit deeper.
First, I want to clarify something a lot of people might be worried about. Personally, I don’t think wearing a costume turns you into someone else (unless you want it to—then it’s all you. Or rather, not you). You don’t need to worry about thinking that your significant other fantasizes about being with a different person. Costumes in the bedroom are meant to enhance your sex appeal, not mask it or change it into something else. Just like normal clothes, you need to wear the costume—the costume does not wear you. Even under a mask, you should still be able to shine through it.
Okay, now that that is completely out of the way (and hopefully some of you believe me), we can actually talk about the costumes themselves. There can be some pretty revealing ones which, if you’ve never worn one before or are just modest, may scare you away. Don’t let them! I’m sure your significant other has seen you wear less than what the costume is revealing (I would be way too chicken to wear one the first night you spend together, but to each his own). Still, I wouldn’t say no if you wanted to go with something safer at first, so that you’re not so nervous about wearing the thing, you decide against it and it grows holes in your closet. After you feel comfortable wearing that one, you can try something a little riskier, or keep on with that one. Completely up to you. You can even try something a little less risky than that, like a teddy or a babydoll. Then you can move up as you grow more comfortable showing more skin. It’s supposed to be fun, not something to raise your anxiety levels.
I’m almost certain every guy—or girl—out there has expressed some kind of sexual fantasy, even if it’s just in passing. This should definitely help you in choosing one out, so don’t panic.
Now, let’s be a little less serious, here. Costumes are supposed to be fun, flirty pieces of clothing to enhance your night (or any other time—I’m not too picky). Don’t take yourself too seriously in this, although in my experience, it’s pretty difficult to. And don’t think you need to come out looking and acting like the perfect seductress—or seductor—with all the right moves. Remember, wearing a Sexy Costume isn’t about becoming someone you’re not. It’s about being a little different in the bedroom. Have fun. Otherwise, you’re just going to shy away from them.
I’ve already mentioned that Girlfriend’s Lingerie has a bunch of new and interesting costumes posted online. Check them out, pronto! Don’t feel like you’re not good enough, sexy enough, pretty enough, sultry enough. Get rid of the excuses and just try it! It’s especially good if you need to bring some excitement to your bedroom. New things always breed excitement and, usually, happiness.
Who said it was too early for a costume?
At least it’s not going to snow . . . hopefully.

So, I’m sure a lot of us have had those fantasies of being in the shower with their partner, but, like me have to wonder how something like that could possibly work. Well, being one of the ones who has tried it—without success (laugh all you want)—I’d like to try to supply you with some tips on how to make it work.
Unfortunately, if your bathtub has a bit of a slope to it—like mine does—this is going to be a no go for you. Sad, I know. I’m not saying you can’t try (please be careful), but I don’t know how much luck you’re going to have. Your guy—or, if you are the guy, you—won’t be able to stand close enough with that slope-y part there. Depending on how gradually it curves, you could be a handful of inches too short. My remedy to this problem (although it’s not really that original, sadly) is to instead try this along the sides of the tub. Sounds weird, right? Let me explain. I think most people tend to use the ends of the bathtub walls—my guess is because there’s a bit more space for the two of you to fit. But, with my bathtub, that’s where it slopes the worst. No fun. The sides, though, while a bit narrower for the two of you, should fix this problem. The tub doesn’t slope off nearly as much as the ends do. Hopefully that will fix the problem for you.
If you’re lucky enough to have just a shower stall with all straight angles and such, I highly doubt I need to give you pointers on how to take care of this one. Watch it, though—make sure there isn’t any soap underneath your feet. My advice? Take out all of the shampoo and conditioner and soap (or at least move it somewhere you know you aren’t going to be near) so that it doesn’t spill and make the floor slippery. No injuries, please. And besides, think about how easy it is to bring everything down on you when you slip in the shower alone. Maybe that’s just me, though—I’m terribly clumsy.
Another quick thing that’s super important to me: water temperature. Everyone feels water temperature differently. Make sure you’re not scalding your partner with water that feels comfortable to you. Ask if the water is too hot, or too cold; don’t just stand there and hog it all, either. Be polite; hopefully I don’t need to run on about that, do I?
Have fun. Water is always a fun element no matter what you’re doing, so don’t take anything too seriously. When you’re done in the shower, slip on your favorite teddy or piece of lingerie and enjoy the night with your partner. Laugh if someone fell—and they are uninjured—or, if you didn’t get your fill in the shower, continue where you left off. The night—or day—is completely yours.
But, seriously—please don’t slip.

Well, hi, again. I’m finally back—things have calmed down, and I’ve definitely missed sharing my advice with all of you wonderful people. I’m sure the title has made some of you giggle—I did—but it’s not going to be about what you think. I figured I could talk about lingerie, since I DO write for a lingerie blog. Smart, right?
Okay, so my biggest concern with a piece of lingerie when I first see it is not fit, but rather how you get it on and off. I’d definitely pick something that zippers or can just slip over your head than something with five trillion hooks that take ten years to clasp up. I once made the mistake of buying a piece that was all hooks down the back (in my defense, they were camouflaged underneath a corset-style lace up). Getting it on is a joke. Its literally takes me five minutes just to clasp all the little clasp-y things and make sure I didn’t match them up wrong (like you sometimes match up buttons wrong). And then if I did, I have to start all over. I don’t think so. Something easy to get on is probably just as easy to get off. You don’t want to be struggling to try to get it off and destroy the moment, would you? Or worse—it gets stuck and then you have to do something radical, like cut the thing off. Yikes.
Next for me then would be the fit of it. If you try something on, you have to remember you’re probably not going to be standing when you’re wearing it. It’s a bit like trying on jeans. You have to sit down in the dressing room, too, to make sure you’re not going to pop any buttons. Same concept with this. Bend a little bit in whatever you’re wearing to make sure that it’s flexible and you can move it in. I like to try things on as if it were a bra, too. Make sure nothing is poking, pinching, or squeezing anything that you don’t want to. If it’s something a bit more flow-y—some Babydolls on Girlfriend’s Lingerie are pretty light—you won’t have to worry about getting pinched. Just make sure you’re comfortable. You don’t have to put yourself through hell just because of a piece of lingerie.
The last thing for me—which is actually a pre-step—for buying lingerie would be to make sure it’s something your significant other would like. You should like it too, obviously, but you don’t want to go out and buy something, only to have your partner dislike it. That’s happened to me on one occasion—trust me, the look you might get is not a good one. My significant other was VERY confused. It’s as easy as just asking them what they like—colors, type (for example, they prefer a Babydoll over a Teddy). Just ask! You can’t go wrong.
So, go look at lingerie. I know, if you go to a store, you might feel embarrassed. Don’t. Because I can guarantee that you’re not the only one who’s ever shopped for a piece of lingerie. If you don’t want to go to a store, though, I strongly encourage you to check out all of Girlfriend’s Lingerie products. I love them, and I know you will too.
And try not to get stuck in anything, okay?

Finding new things in a relationship can be hard to do—especially when you and that special someone have been together for a long time. At first, you learn what the person likes and doesn’t like, which then leads to what you think you should do in bed. Unfortunately, doing the same thing every time things turn towards the bedroom is like always listening to the same music—you get to know every word, every trip of the fingers over guitar strings or down piano keys, every thump of the drums and even the weird noises back-up singers occasionally make. Then soon, you find yourself saying the words before they are even sung, and you’re moving to switch the station to find something you’ve never heard before. Sound familiar? Stick with me.
To me, it’s really important that things stay exciting in a relationship. I don’t just mean exciting as in kinky and strange, although feel free to do whatever you want on that end. There’s no possible way you have learned everything there is to know about your significant other—even after fifty or sixty years, I’m sure couples continue to learn more about each other and grow in their relationship. That’s what makes being with someone so inviting; this person is opening up to you, spilling their secrets and hopes and wishes and desires, sharing their lives with you like you’re an extension of their body. Okay, okay, I’ll shut up the hopeless romantic inside of me.
It can be very difficult to find new things to do in the bedroom, however, and that’s what I really want to focus on. Don’t get stuck in a rut; you know what turns your significant other on, so of course you want to do that every time. But, again with the music analogy, I fear there’s the possibility you might get bored to death (although not the literal death, just perhaps the death of the thing your partner liked). Then you’re left wondering what you did wrong when you try to turn them on again, only to have it not work.
My advice? Go waaaaaaay out of your familiar realm. Not into the uncomfortable, but just into something you’ve never tried before, never had the guts to ask your partner to try with you, but have wanted to try it for a while. If it doesn’t work out, that’s okay; now you know one thing that doesn’t work. Just don’t shy away from something because you’re frightened to ask to try it. That’s like when a kid says, “I don’t like broccoli!” and when you ask if they’ve ever had it before, they just pout and say no. Then how do you know?
Role playing is always a great stepping stone for trying new things. Yes, those cynics can argue with me that you’re not being yourself, therefore your partner is turned on by another person, not by you. To that, I say a big fat NO. Sure, you’re playing another person—but your body, the way you move or walk, talk, kiss, and touch are all still the same. You’re still there.
Fortunately, there is a large variety of very interesting costumes on Girlfriend’s Lingerie for both men and women. If you’re feeling a little shy, there are more modest ones to start out with. Or you could pick up a new teddy and make up your own show—anything is possible. Just don’t reject the ideas because you think your partner will think you’re crazy.
Who knows? Maybe the thing you think you’re least likely to like will become your favorite thing to do. I always used to say I loathed oatmeal and I hadn’t even tried it—now I eat it at least once a day.
Irony is sweet.

Last time I talked about looking sexy at the gym—a tough feat, but some people can pull it off. After the gym, though, especially the morning after, you can be stiff, sore, and just infuriatingly uncomfortable. Stretching doesn’t always help—your muscles are just tired out from the workout you put them through the day before. Personally, hot baths don’t work either; who wants to take a hot bath during the summer, when you’re working on your bikini body? I don’t think so. What’s left?
We all wish we had a personal masseuse in our home—that would be very nice. Fortunately, you can! A massage is my favorite way to get rid of the kinks and pains in my muscles after a workout, especially after trying something new that kicks your butt. You don’t even need many things to do this, either. a washcloth, some of your favorite oil, a pair of hands, and a nice flat surface (I wouldn’t recommend the bed, unless you want to change the sheets afterwards).
At first I thought it would be a good idea to heat the oil in the microwave—in retrospect, not the best plan. Then, after rereading one of my favorite novels, I realized I could boil water in a bowl, then put the bottle of oil into the water. That way, the oil doesn’t get too hot—especially good for the summer—but it’s warm enough that it will sooth those aching muscles. My partner uses his thumbs and presses down into the muscles while rubbing his thumbs in small circles. On very tight muscles, this is going to hurt at first. As long as you keep at it, you’ll feel better in no time. Trust me, after running outside in eighty degree weather for half an hour, you are dying for some relaxation. I have provided the cure.
Obviously, getting a massage from your significant other isn’t going to be a quiet event, especially if you’re wearing your favorite teddy or babydoll. It’s easy to turn a massage into something a bit more special. I do feel it’s my obligation to warn you, though, not to overstretch already sore muscles. If you can make love a little slower, however, you can stretch out those stiff muscles to help further the pleasure you got from the massage. I find it’s usually difficult to sit in one position for an extended period of time when your muscles hurt. Making love can get rid of the antsy feeling in your legs and hips so that you can fall to sleep easily (although, your whole body will probably be mush after that—not really something to complain about, however).
The good news? If you continue with that workout, you can get a massage on a pretty regular basis. Sounds like a good plan to me.

Hey, everyone. I apologize for the lag in posts—it’s a busy time for me, as my final exams for the semester are next week. Lucky me. I figured this week and next week I could talk about the gym, something most people hate to even think about. If you’re anything like me, however, you still drag yourself out of bed every morning to run three miles (just so you can eat a cookie or two later—how unfair is that?). Doesn’t it figure, then, that there are attractive guys at the gym in the morning, when I look like I just rolled out of bed? That’s my luck.
Fortunately, there are ways you can look sexy even while you’re at the gym. This isn’t just restricted to girls although, to be honest men, you don’t really have to try hard to look good at the gym. Ladies, I’m not saying you have to pack on the makeup before you go; on those hot days, it’ll look like your face is melting. Not very appealing, I’m sure. The easiest thing to do in the morning, if you can’t bear to go—well, bare-faced? Put on a little bit of eyeliner. I find that it doesn’t run or smear, but it people won’t be wondering why you put on makeup to go to the gym. I applaud those who can go to the gym with no makeup on—and I’m horrendously jealous.
Surprisingly, the clothing you pick can actually make a difference too. Most of us probably don the typical workout clothing—a t-shirt and shorts, and maybe some spandex shorts underneath. If you wear one color, though—say, black, like I always do—it actually makes you look blockier and shorter. The solid color doesn’t separate your torso from your legs, so you just look like one giant section of color. Try instead to pair a pair of yoga pants or black shorts with a vibrant top. Separating the sections of your body like that help to elongate you and make you look thinner. Hurray.
Here’s another surprising piece of information: sweat can actually attract someone. Yes, when we sweat, we secrete not only the toxins from our bodies, but also hormones. Think of it as a natural perfume, a pheromone that will attract a man or a woman (although, for us women, it depends on when in the month we sweat at the gym—catch a guy at the wrong time and he’ll run). Still think sweating is gross? I’d think again. And really, what happens when you have sex? You sweat. Sweating may also—now this is my theory on this, so please don’t take this one too seriously—is that sweat can actually remind someone of sex. It would be like wearing a piece of lingerie while standing in front of your significant other: it reminds them of sex. Seems logical, right?
No one has incentive to go to the gym—although, I know there are a few people that really do (and I am very jealous of you). Hopefully, however, the idea of meeting a very attractive man or beautiful woman will help others get up and get out there. Your soul mate could be anywhere (I’m a hopeless romantic; sorry if it’s sappy), so get out there and find that person!
Sex at the gym? Who would’ve guessed?

As women, we spend most of our waking hours serving others – our mates, our bosses, our children, and even our parents. On our mental checklist of priorities, our needs are all too often relegated to the bottom of the list. Over time, neglecting our own needs takes its toll, not only on us, but also on those we love. When our own proverbial well is empty, we have nothing left to give to others.
That’s why it’s important that you make a commitment to indulging yourself at least once a week. Carve out time to take a bubble bath, go on a nature walk, spend quiet time journaling, or going solo to a movie. Once you’ve gotten into the habit of a regular indulgence, expand your self-care to include buying yourself a special gift from time to time.
While there may be many items on your wish list, there’s a case to be made for indulging yourself with Lingerie. In the process of serving others, we often lose sight of our womanliness. Our femininity takes a back seat to the roles we play in our lives, and beautiful lingerie can help us reconnect with our feminine nature.
Although lingerie can certainly be sexy, giving yourself the gift of lingerie isn’t intended to be sexual. Whether or not you have a partner, wearing a beautiful bra and panty set can make you feel terrific. Having a supply of teddies doesn’t mean you have to parade around in them. Instead, wear teddies under a dress or blouse and feel the silky smoothness against your skin. Instead of wriggling into pantyhose every workday, switch to stockings and garters. Stockings are guaranteed to make you feel womanly. Others may wonder where your secret smile is coming from, but you don’t need to tell.
Remember that you don’t have to have a model’s body in order to enjoy lingerie. There are bustiers, teddies, stockings, and bra and panty sets made for plus size women. There’s no room in life for body shame, so enjoy your curves! Regardless of your size and shape, you’re entitled to indulge your feminine nature. We have wondrous opportunities to enjoy life’s bounty.
We have an obligation to ourselves and to those we love to reap both joyful moments and secret pleasures. When we do, we become more fulfilled and are better equipped to meet the demands placed on us by our families, friends, and coworkers.
